Sordid Quotes

Sordid Definition  
I was induced to establish several orders of merit, from conviction that emulation, well directed, becomes a useful servant; and, that the latent genius of some youth is more easily brought into action this way, than by the more sordid gratification of self-interest.
Joseph Lancaster

It is misery, you know, unspeakable misery for the man who lives alone and who detests sordid, casual affairs; not old enough to do without women, but not young enough to be able to go and look for one without shame!
Luigi Pirandello

The timid man calls himself cautious, the sordid man thrifty.
Publilius Syrus

There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God.
John Calvin
