“Many have been ruined by buying good pennyworths.”
Benjamin Franklin
“We all have known good critics, who have stamped out poet's hopes; Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state; Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause; Good kings, who disemboweled for a tax; Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy; Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs; And damned the general world for standing up. Now, may the good God pardon all good men!”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“I was never ruined but twice - once when I lost a lawsuit, once when I won one”
Voltaire
“Many a good newspaper story has been ruined by over verification”
James Gordon Bennett
“When I told (my wife) Pat (that I was coming back), she said you're going to ruin your good name. After the first year, we're halfway there.”
Joe Gibbs
“Man is a god in ruins”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Let's not let the Farm Bureau ruin a good thing, ... The wolves are doing great. They're staying away from livestock except in a few cases where Defenders compensates for any losses. The ecosystem is returning to a more healthy, natural state. Tourism is up and the wolves are adding to the region's economy. Why negate 20-some years of work and lots of money just to start over?”
