Famous quotes containing the word penny:

    And not an hour ago you hadn’t a penny to warm your pocket. Did someone die and leave you a pot of gold?
    Dudley Nichols (1895–1960)

    I had not given a penny for a song
    Did not the poet sing it with such airs
    That one believed he had a sword upstairs;
    Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
    Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
