The elegant simplicity of the three per cents.

 

William Scott Stowell

 

Less than fifteen cents to the province and more than twenty-five cents to Ottawa, this is far from being excessive!

 

Maurice Duplessis

 

Still to be powder'd, still perfum'd,
Lady, it is to be presum'd,
Though art's hid causes are not found,
All is not sweet, all is not sound.
Give me a look, give me a face,
That makes simplicity a grace;
Robes loosely flowing, hair as free,
Such sweet neglect more taketh me
Than all the adulteries of art:
They strike mine eyes, but not my heart.

 

Ben Jonson

 

"But I make a profit of three and a quarter cents an egg by selling them for four and a quarter cents an egg to the people in Malta I buy them from for seven cents an egg. Of course, I don't make the profit. The syndicate makes the profit. And everybody has a share."

 

Joseph Heller

 

[As a painting teacher] I'm not flirting, playing around. I'm serious about it… If you don't want to be serious about playing [at art], do something of no account. Go into banking. Buy collar buttons at five cents a dozen and sell them for five cents a piece.
