Guinea Quotations
I would not give half a guinea to live under one form of government other than another. It is of no moment to the happiness of an individual. Samuel Johnson To the eyes of a miser a guinea is more beautiful than the sun, and a bag worn with the use of money has more beautiful proportions than a vine filled with grapes. William Blake We're going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that's part of my job. I don't mind being a human guinea pig. John L. Phillips All of us are guinea pigs in the laboratory of God. Humanity is just a work in progress. Tennessee Williams Money is the seed of money, and the first guinea is sometimes more difficult to acquire than the second million. Jean Jacques Rousseau |
