Hard Hats

Famous quotes containing the words hard and/or hats:

    For he could coin, or counterfeit
    New words, with little or no wit;
    Words so debas’d and hard, no stone
    Was hard enough to touch them on;
    And when with hasty noise he spoke ‘em;
    The ignorant for current took ‘em;
    Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    There are several natural phenomena which I shall have to have explained to me before I can keep on going as a resident member of the human race. One is the metamorphosis which hats and suits undergo exactly one week after their purchase, whereby they are changed from smart, intensely becoming articles of apparel into something children use when they want to “dress up like daddy.”
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
