Altogether

Famous quotes containing the word altogether:

“1st Lady. Madam, we’ll tell tales.
Queen. Of sorrow or of joy?
1st Lady. Of either, madam.
Queen. Of neither, girl.
For if of joy, being altogether wanting,
It doth remember me the more of sorrow.
Or if of grief, being altogether had,
It adds more sorrow to my want of joy.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“To found a great empire for the sole purpose of raising up a people of customers, may at first sight appear a project fit only for a nation of shopkeepers. It is, however, a project altogether unfit for a nation of shopkeepers, but extremely fit for a nation that is governed by shopkeepers.”
—Adam Smith (1723–1790)

“No one can look back on his schooldays and say with truth that they were altogether unhappy.”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
