A pat on the back is only a few centimeters from a kick in the pants.

A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space.
                -- Gloria Steinem

A pencil with no point needs no eraser.

"A penny for your thoughts?"
"A dollar for your death."
                -- The Odd Couple

A penny saved has not been spent.

A penny saved is a penny taxed.

A penny saved is ridiculous.

A penny saved kills your career in government.

A people living under the perpetual menace of war and invasion is very easy to
govern.  It demands no social reforms.  It does not haggle over expenditures
on armaments and military equipment.  It pays without discussion, it ruins
itself, and that is an excellent thing for the syndicates of financiers and
manufacturers for whom patriotic terrors are an abundant source of gain.
                -- Anatole France

A perfectly honest woman, a woman who never flatters, who never manages,
who never cajoles, who never conceals, who never uses her eyes, who never
speculates on the effect which she produces, who never is conscious of
unspoken admiration, what a monster, I say, would such a female be!
                -- Thackeray
