Thousand Dollars

Famous quotes containing the words thousand and/or dollars:

“Men look on knowledge which they learn—or might learn—from others as they do on the most beautiful structures which are not their own: in outward objects, they would rather behold their own hogsty than their neighbor’s palace; and in mental ones, would prefer one grain of knowledge gained by their own observation to all the wisdom of a thousand Solomons.”
—Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)

“Two dollars now prognosticate
An image supine and elate
For Jenny sweet will keep the date....”
