Sugar Lumps

Famous quotes containing the words sugar and/or lumps:

    They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.
    Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

    Did God direct us so to get our living, digging where we never planted,—and He would, perchance, reward us with lumps of gold?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
