House Sold

Famous quotes containing the words house and/or sold:

    In 1862 the congregation of the church forwarded the church bell to General Beauregard to be melted into cannon, “hoping that its gentle tones, that have so often called us to the House of God, may be transmuted into war’s resounding rhyme to repel the ruthless invader from the beautiful land God, in his goodness, has given us.”
    —Federal Writers’ Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
    Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
    Than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.
    I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
