Famous quotes containing the words economy and/or village:
“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges. The consequence is, that while he is reading Adam Smith, Ricardo, and Say, he runs his father in debt irretrievably.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There were those young men,
those village lands
and that youthfulness of mine.
People tell it
like a tale
that I must listen to.”
—Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
