Sold

Famous quotes containing the word sold:

“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)

“A product of the untalented, sold by the unprincipled to the utterly bewildered.”
—Al Capp (1909–1979)

“There is thy gold—worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murder in this loathsome world
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
I sell thee poison; thou hast sold me none.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
