Famous quotes containing the words money and/or bill:
“This spending of the best part of ones life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. He should have gone up garret at once.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
“No, the five hundred was the sum they named
To pay the doctors bill and tide me over.
Its that or fight, and I dont want to fight
I just want to get settled in my life....”
—Robert Frost (18741963)
