Famous quotes containing the words million, short and/or tons:
“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.

Employd a Million of the Poor,
And odious Pride a Million more...

Livd better than the Rich before...”

—Sarah Fielding (17101768)
“Mozart starved, but you allow Thalberg and Liszt make tons of gold: Of course, you may think that someone immortal cannot die of hunger.”
