Rich/places

Famous quotes containing the words rich and/or places:

    He is the rich man, and enjoys the fruits of riches, who summer and winter forever can find delight in his own thoughts.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Of a truth, Knowledge is power, but it is a power reined by scruple, having a conscience of what must be and what may be; whereas Ignorance is a blind giant who, let him but wax unbound, would make it a sport to seize the pillars that hold up the long- wrought fabric of human good, and turn all the places of joy as dark as a buried Babylon.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
