Famous quotes containing the words merchant and/or road:

    “Bid her paint till day of doom,
    To this favour she must come.
    Bid the merchant gather wealth,
    The usurer exact by stealth,
    The proud man beat it from his thought,
    Yet to this shape all must be brought.”
    —Francis Beaumont (1584-1616)

    “The road to wisdom?—Well, it’s plain
    and simple to express:
    Err
    and err
    and err again
    but less
    and less
    and less.”
    —Piet Hein (b. 1905)
