Famous quotes containing the words base and/or builders:

Contaminate our fingers with base bribes,
And sell the mighty space of our large honors
For so much trash as may be grasped thus?
I had rather be a dog and bay the moon
Than such a Roman.”

“As we are, so we do; and as we do, so it is done to us; we are the builders of our fortunes.”
