Golden Globe

Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or globe:

    He, that holds fast the golden mean,
    And lives contentedly between
    The little and the great,
    Feels not the wants that pinch the poor,
    Nor plagues that haunt the rich man’s door,
    Imbitt’ring all his state.
    Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    Our panaceas cure but few ails, our general hospitals are private and exclusive. We must set up another Hygeia than is now worshiped. Do not the quacks even direct small doses for children, larger for adults, and larger still for oxen and horses? Let us remember that we are to prescribe for the globe itself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
