Famous quotes containing the words front and/or clinch:
“Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Volleyed and thundered;”
—Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
“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)
