Hole Racks

Famous quotes containing the words hole and/or racks:

    Give a beggar a dime and he’ll bless you. Give him a dollar and he’ll curse you for witholding the rest of your fortune. Poverty is a bag with a hole at the bottom.
    Anzia Yezierska (c. 1881–1970)

    Man’s feeble race what ills await!
    Labour, and Penury, the racks of Pain,
    Disease, and Sorrow’s weeping train,
    And Death, sad refuge from the storms of Fate!
    Thomas Gray (1716–1771)
