Sold Hughes

Famous quotes containing the words sold and/or hughes:

    If there were one who lived wholly without the use of money, the State itself would hesitate to demand it of him. But the rich man—not to make any invidious comparison—is always sold to the institution which makes him rich.... Thus his moral ground is taken from under his feet.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Life isn’t all beer and skittles, but beer and skittles, or something better of the same sort, must form a good part of every Englishman’s education.
    —Thomas Hughes (1822–1896)
