Traded Goods

Famous quotes containing the words traded and/or goods:

“When we traded the buffalo for a mare,
we had no milk to drink,
and we still had droppings to clean up.”

“The goods of fortune ... were never intended to be talked out of the world.—But as virtue and true wisdom lie in the middle of extremes,—on one hand, not to neglect and despise riches, so as to forget ourselves,—and on the other, not to pursue and love them so, as to forget God;Mto have them sometimes in our heads,—but always something more important in our hearts.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
