Purple People

Famous quotes containing the words purple and/or people:

    Yet marked I where the bolt of Cupid fell:
    It fell upon a little western flower,
    Before, milk-white; now purple with love’s wound:
    And maidens call it “love-in-idleness.”
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.
    Adam Smith (1723–1790)
