Famous quotes containing the word goods:
“Customers are treasure; goods are but straw.”
—Chinese proverb.
“But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
“A man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry.”
—Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes, 8:15.
Compare with Luke 12:19: “And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.”
