Penny Proud

Famous quotes containing the words penny and/or proud:

    As long as learning is connected with earning, as long as certain jobs can only be reached through exams, so long must we take this examination system seriously. If another ladder to employment was contrived, much so-called education would disappear, and no one would be a penny the stupider.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    Women are hard and proud and stubborn-hearted,
    Their heads being turned with praise and flattery;
    And that is why their lovers are afraid
    To tell them a plain story.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
