Set Decoration

Famous quotes containing the words set and/or decoration:

    I do not set my life at a pin’s fee,
    And for my soul, what can it do to that,
    Being a thing immortal as itself?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If there be any man who thinks the ruin of a race of men a small matter, compared with the last decoration and completions of his own comfort,—who would not so much as part with his ice- cream, to save them from rapine and manacles, I think I must not hesitate to satisfy that man that also his cream and vanilla are safer and cheaper by placing the negro nation on a fair footing than by robbing them.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
