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

Debbie Wasserman Schultz

Joseph Lancaster
