Famous quotes containing the words million and/or birds:
“Thus every Part was full of Vice,
Yet the whole Mass a Paradise...
The worst of all the Multitude
Did something for the Common Good.

Employ’d a Million of the Poor,
And odious Pride a Million more...
... ...the very Poor
Liv’d better than the Rich before...”
—Bernard De Mandeville (1670–1733)
