Watchman Quotations
I shall the effect of this good lesson keeps as watchman to my heart.
William Shakespeare
It's one of the tragic ironies of the theatre that only one man in it can count on steady work - the night watchman.
Tallulah Bankhead
When I was in Philadelphia during the Depression in 1930 or '31, I got a very sad job as a night watchman in a garage. The cars in the garage had been abandoned by their owners, since they had lost their jobs and couldn't keep up the payments.
Tom Glazer
