People/William Shakespeare/Quote

There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murder in this loathsome world
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
I sell thee poison, thou hast sold me none.

William Shakespeare on money

Romeo and Juliet (c. 1595), Act V, Scene I, spoken by Romeo
