Famous quotes containing the words treasury and/or surplus:
“The treasury of America lies in those ambitions and those energies that cannot be restricted to a special, favored class.

Every country is renewed out of the ranks of the unknown, not out of the ranks of those already famous and powerful and in control.”

“Dog. A kind of additional or subsidiary Deity designed to catch the overflow and surplus of the world’s worship.”
