Standard Oil Trust

Famous quotes containing the words standard, oil and/or trust:

    I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
    Maya Angelou (b. 1928)

    Eat what you can get.
    Where’s the salt
    in this dump of a village?
    And, Lucky Man,
    what’s the use
    of a salty thing
    if there’s no oil in it?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    Play the man, Master Ridley; we shall this day light such a candle, by God’s grace, in England, as I trust shall never be put out.
    Hugh Latimer (1485–1555)
