High Price

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or price:

    There, do not start,
    child, nor toss about;
    only calm and high pride
    can help your hurt:
    fate tries all alike.
    Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
    Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
    To increase a stranger’s treasures,
    O’er the raging billows borne.
    Men from England bought and sold me,
    Paid my price in paltry gold;
    But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
    Minds are never to be sold.
    William Cowper (1731–1800)
