Famous quotes containing the words front and/or clinch:
“my face I don’t mind it,
Because I’m behind it—
‘Tis the folks in the front that I jar.”
—Anthony Euwer (1877–1955)
“Social and scientific progress are assured, sir, once our great system of postpossession payments is in operation, not the installment plan, no sir, but a system of small postpossession payments that clinch the investment. No possible rational human wish unfulfilled. A man with a salary of fifty dollars a week can start payments on a Rolls-Royce, the Waldorf-Astoria, or a troupe of trained seals if he so desires.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
