Paid Homage

Famous quotes containing the words paid and/or homage:

    It’s not that I don’t have opinions, rather that I’m paid not to think aloud.
    Yitzhak Navon (b. 1921)

    There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
