Common Wealth

Famous quotes containing the words common and/or wealth:

“The hourly kindness, the day’s common speech,
The habitual content of each with each
When neither soul nor body has been crossed.”

“The honest Man has, I know, that modest Desire of Gain which is peculiar to those who understand better Things than Riches; and I dare say he would be contented with much less than what is called Wealth in that Quarter of the Town which he inhabits, and will oblige all his Customers with Demands agreeable to the Moderation of his Desires.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
