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?”

“A friend of mine spoke of books that are dedicated like this: “To my wife, by whose helpful criticism ...” and so on. He said the dedication should really read: “To my wife. If it had not been for her continual criticism and persistent nagging doubt as to my ability, this book would have appeared in Harper’s instead of The Hardware Age.””
