Pen Trade

Famous quotes containing the words pen and/or trade:

    Here is a pen and here is a pencil,
    Here’s a typewriter, here’s a stencil,
    Here is a list of today’s appointments,
    And all the flies in all the ointments,
    The daily woes that a man endures—
    Take them, George, they’re yours!
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    My trade and my art is living. He who forbids me to speak about it according to my sense, experience, and practice, let him order the architect to speak of buildings not according to himself but according to his neighbor; according to another man’s knowledge, not according to his own.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
