Famous quotes containing the words ruined and/or day:
“As to the rout that is made about people who are ruined by extravagance, it is no matter to the nation that some individuals suffer. When so much general productive exertion is the consequence of luxury, the nation does not care though there are debtors in gaol; nay, they would not care though their creditors were there too.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“Man’s last day must ever be awaited and none to be
counted happy until his death, until his last funeral rites
are paid.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
