Famous quotes containing the words bucks, free and/or press:
“I’m a very smart guy. I haven’t a feeling or a scruple in the world. All I have the itch for is money. I am so money greedy that for twenty-five bucks a day and expenses, mostly gasoline and whisky, I do my thinking myself, what there is of it; I risk my whole future, the hatred of the cops ... I dodge bullets and eat saps, and say thank you very much, if you have any more trouble, I hope you’ll think of me, I’ll just leave one of my cards in case anything comes up.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
“Free from debt is free from care.”
—Chinese proverb.
“No government ought to be without censors; and where the press is free no one ever will.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
