Famous quotes containing the words treasure, museum and/or case:
“Love was as subtly catched, as a disease;
But being got it is a treasure sweet,

For though ‘tis got by chance,’tis kept by art.”

“A fine-looking mill, but no machinery inside.”
—Hawaiian saying no. 1702, ‘lelo No’Eau, collected, translated, and annotated by Mary Kawena Pukui, Bishop Museum Press, Hawaii (1983)
“Never in any case say I have lost such a thing, but I have returned it. Is your child dead? It is a return. Is your wife dead? It is a return. Are you deprived of your estate? Is not this also a return?”
