Dark Bribe

Famous quotes containing the words dark and/or bribe:

“A Scholar is a candle which the love & desire of men will light. Let it not lie in a dark box.”

“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
