Sugar Mill

Famous quotes containing the words sugar mill, sugar and/or mill:

    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)

    Naughty Paughty Jack-a-Dandy,
    Stole a Piece of Sugar Candy
    From the Grocer’s Shoppy-Shop,
    And away did hoppy-hop.
    Henry Carey (1693?–1743)

    The general tendency of things throughout the world is to render mediocrity the ascendant power among mankind.
    —John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
