Higher Wages

Famous quotes containing the words higher and/or wages:

    In the mountains of truth you will never climb in vain: either you will already get further up today or you will exercise your strength so that you can climb higher tomorrow.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I thought a minute, and says to myself, hold on,—s’pose you’d a done right and give Jim up; would you felt better than what you do now? No, says I, I’d feel bad—I’d feel just the same way I do now. Well, then, says I, what’s the use you learning to do right, when it’s troublesome to do right and ain’t no trouble to do wrong, and the wages is just the same?
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
