Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or post:

    “Listen world,
    if you’d just take the time to pick
    the white fingers, the penny heart,
    all would be well.
    They are so unexpected.
    They are as good as salt.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.”
    —Clara Barton (1821–1912)
