The Town

Famous quotes containing the word town:

    Keep the town for occasions, but the habits should be formed in retirement.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The honest Man has, I know, that modest Desire of Gain which is peculiar to those who understand better Things than Riches; and I dare say he would be contented with much less than what is called Wealth in that Quarter of the Town which he inhabits, and will oblige all his Customers with Demands agreeable to the Moderation of his Desires.
    Richard Steele (1672–1729)
