Brit Insurance Designs

Famous quotes containing the words insurance and/or designs:

    “For there can be no whiter whiteness than this one:
    An insurance man’s shirt on its morning run.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

    “I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
