Famous quotes containing the words christmas and/or economy:
“Please to put a nickel,
Please to put a dime.

In at Christmas time!”

“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges.
