Silver Penny

Famous quotes containing the words silver and/or penny:

    The people of coming days will know
    About the casting out of my net,
    And how you have leaped times out of mind
    Over the little silver cords,
    And think that you were hard and unkind....
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    With one hand he put
    A penny in the urn of poverty,
    And with the other took a shilling out.
    Robert Pollok (1798–1827)
