Act Paid

Famous quotes containing the words act and/or paid:

“Every act of conscious learning requires the willingness to suffer an injury to one’s self-esteem. That is why young children, before they are aware of their own self-importance, learn so easily; and why older persons, especially if vain or important, cannot learn at all.”

“We are paid for our suspicions by finding what we suspected.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
