Coined

Famous quotes containing the word coined:

    The slogan ‘45 minutes in Havana’ was not coined in the Cuban city, but in a Yankee cigar factory here.
    —Administration for the State of Con, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    But when the bowels of the earth were sought,
    And men her golden entrails did espy,
    This mischief then into the world was brought,
    This framed the mint which coined our misery.
    ...
    And thus began th’exordium of our woes,
    The fatal dumb-show of our misery;
    Here sprang the tree on which our mischief grows,
    The dreary subject of world’s tragedy.
    Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
