Famous quotes containing the words front and/or clinch:
“Let him front the object of his worst apprehension, and his stoutness will commonly make his fear groundless.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“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)
