Famous quotes containing the words heaven, riches and/or class:
“I never had but one intrigue yet: but I confess I long to have another. Pray heaven it end as the first did tho’, that we may both grow weary at a time; for ‘tis a melancholy thing for lovers to outlive one another.”

“No April can revive thy withered flowers,
Whose blooming grace adorns thy glory now;
Swift speeding Time, feathered with flying hours,
Dissolves the beauty of the fairest brow.
Oh let not then such riches waste in vain,
But love whilst that thou mayst be loved again.”
—Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)
“You see, after the war—and don’t forget it lasted a hundred years—thousands of us went from door to door, asking for honest work, and we were whipped for begging. The ruling class didn’t say, “Work or starve.” They said “Starve, for you shall not work.””
—Sonya Levien (1895–1960)
