If I'm not there, I go to work. - Robert Orben Genius scorns the power of gold: it is wrong. Gold is the war-scythe on its chariot, which mows down the millions of its foes, and gives free passage to the sun-coursers with which it leaves those heavenly fields of light for the gross battlefields of earth. - Ouida (pseudonym of Marie Louise de la Ramee) Money nowadays is money; money brings office; money gains friends; everywhere the poor man is down.

III, l. 29) Displaying page 6 of 11 for this topic: << Prev Next >> 1 2 3 4 5 [6] 7 8 9 10 11
