Famous quotes containing the words national, express and/or sold:
“I foresee the time when the painter will paint that scene, no longer going to Rome for a subject; the poet will sing it; the historian record it; and, with the Landing of the Pilgrims and the Declaration of Independence, it will be the ornament of some future national gallery, when at least the present form of slavery shall be no more here. We shall then be at liberty to weep for Captain Brown. Then, and not till then, we will take our revenge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Teenagers are like people who express a burning desire to be different by dressing exactly alike.”
—Anonymous. The Last Word, ed. Carolyn Warner, ch. 3 (1992)
“There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.
I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
