Famous quotes containing the words stock and/or market:

    After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by and by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn’t care no more about him; because I don’t take no stock in dead people.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    At market and fair, all folks do declare,
    There is none like the Boy that sold Broom, green Broom.
