Famous quotes containing the words estimated and/or costs:
“The glory of a great man ought always to be estimated by the means used to acquire it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“When over Catholics the ocean rolls,
They must wait several weeks before a mass
Takes off one peck of purgatorial coals,
Because, till people know what’s come to pass,
They won’t lay out their money on the dead—
It costs three francs for every mass that’s said.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
