Famous quotes containing the words fire, insurance and/or india:
“The tender skin does not shrink from bayonets, the timid woman is not scared by fagots; the rack is not frightful, nor the rope ignominious. The poor Puritan, Antony Parsons, at the stake, tied straw on his head when the fire approached him, and said, “This is God’s hat.””

—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
“India has 2,000,000 gods, and worships them all. In religion other countries are paupers; India is the only millionaire.”
