Famous quotes containing the word henry:

    You can’t appreciate home till you’ve left it, money till it’s spent, your wife till she’s joined a woman’s club, nor Old Glory till you see it hanging on a broomstick on the shanty of a consul in a foreign town.
    —O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
