Paid

Famous quotes containing the word paid:

    Nothing begins, and nothing ends,
    That is not paid with moan,
    For we are born in other’s pain,
    And perish in our own.
    Francis Thompson (1859–1907)

    Nothing exists except by virtue of a disequilibrium, an injustice. All existence is a theft paid for by other existences; no life flowers except on a cemetery.
    Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915)

    As a Tax-Paying Citizen of the United States I am entitled to a voice in Governmental affairs.... Having paid this unlawful Tax under written Protest for forty years, I am entitled to receive from the Treasury of “Uncle Sam” the full amount of both Principal and Interest.
    Susan Pecker Fowler (1823–1911)
