Famous quotes containing the word world:
“Seeing is believing, and if an American success is to count for anything in the world it must be clothed in the raiment of property. As often as not it isn’t the money itself that means anything; it is the use of money as the currency of the soul.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
