General Merchandise Store

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or store:

    “We all have known
    Good critics, who have stamped out poet’s hopes;
    Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state;
    Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause;
    Good kings, who disembowelled for a tax;
    Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy;
    Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs;
    And damned the general world for standing up.—
    Now, may the good God pardon all good men!”
    —Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861)

    “I stopped believing in Santa Claus when I was six. Mother took me to see him in a department store and he asked for my autograph.”
    —Shirley Temple Black (b. 1928)
