Pay

Famous quotes containing the word pay:

    Few parents nowadays pay any regard to what their children say to them. The old-fashioned respect for the young is fast dying out.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Solvency is maintained by means of a national debt, on the principle, “If you will not lend me the money, how can I pay you?”
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
