Million Birds

Famous quotes containing the words million and/or birds:

    “The low level which commercial morality has reached in America is deplorable. We have humble God fearing Christian men among us who will stoop to do things for a million dollars that they ought not to be willing to do for less than 2 millions.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Beauty sat bathing by a spring,
    Where fairest shades did hide her;
    The winds blew calm, the birds did sing,
    The cool streams ran beside her.
    My wanton thoughts enticed mine eye
    To see what was forbidden:
    But better memory said Fie;
    So vain desire was chidden—”
    —Anthony Munday (1553–1633)
