“Therefore, to be possessed with double pomp,To guard a title that was rich before,To gild refined gold, to paint the lily,To throw a perfume on the violet,To smooth the ice, or add another hueUnto the rainbow, or with taper lightTo seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.”
William Shakespeare
“THE POOR AND THE SUBJECT CALLED "POVERTY" IS FILTH TO THE RICH AND THE SUBJECT CALLED "RICHES", BUT CLEANLINESS IS THE ONLY MARK OF ACCEPTANCE.”
“The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.”
Albert Einstein
“It was disappointing, especially given that we are in such a rich market for oil and (refined) products. But on the other hand, if these issues are going to hit you, better that it happen in such a strong price environment.”
Wilf Gobert
“We continue to refine all the things we do, be it working with retailers or refining things like ticket dispensers.”
Rebecca Paul
“She was not quite what you would call refined. She was not quite what you would call unrefined. She was the kind of person that keeps a parrot.”
Mark Twain
“Love is an alliance of friendship and animalism; if the former predominates it is passion exalted and refined; if the latter, gross and sensual.”
Charles Caleb Colton
