Penny/criticism

Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or criticism:

“And not an hour ago you hadn’t a penny to warm your pocket. Did someone die and leave you a pot of gold?”

“When you overpay small people you frighten them. They know that their merits or activities entitle them to no such sums as they are receiving. As a result their boss soars out of economic into magic significance. He becomes a source of blessings rather than wages. Criticism is sacrilege, doubt is heresy.”
—Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
