Famous quotes containing the words players, earning and/or caps:

    “Will you see the players well bestowed? Do you hear, let them
    be well used, for they are the abstracts and brief chronicles of the time. After your death you were better have a bad epitaph than their ill report while you live.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If men do not keep on speaking terms with children, they cease to be men, and become merely machines for eating and for earning money.”
    —John Updike (b. 1932)

    “... people were so ridiculous with their illusions, carrying their fools’ caps unawares, thinking their own lies opaque while everybody else’s were transparent, making themselves exceptions to everything, as if when all the world looked yellow under a lamp they alone were rosy.”
    —George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
