Famous quotes containing the words market and/or share:
“I respect not his labors, his farm where everything has its price, who would carry the landscape, who would carry his God, to market, if he could get anything for him; who goes to market for his god as it is; on whose farm nothing grows free, whose fields bear no crops, whose meadows no flowers, whose trees no fruit, but dollars; who loves not the beauty of his fruits, whose fruits are not ripe for him till they are turned to dollars. Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The share we have in the knowledge of truth, such as it is, has not been acquired by our own powers. God has taught us ... his wonderful secrets; our faith is not of our acquiring, it is purely the gift of another’s bounty.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
