“There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murder in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayest not sell.
I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Art thou officer,
Or art thou base, common, and popular?”

“There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot.

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
