Famous quotes containing the word purse:

    “Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
    But not expressed in fancy, rich, not gaudy,
    For the apparel oft proclaims the man.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Beware the/easy griefs, that fool and fuel nothing./It is too easy to cry “AFRIKA!”/and shock thy street,/and purse thy mouth,/and go home to thy “Gunsmoke,” to/thy “Gilligan’s Island” and the NFL.”
    —Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)
