Pay

Famous quotes containing the word pay:

    Thy due from me
    Is tears and heavy sorrows of the blood,
    Which nature, love, and filial tenderness
    Shall, O dear father, pay thee plenteously.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    You must, to get through life well, practice industry with economy, never create a debt for anything that is not absolutely necessary, and if you make a promise to pay money at a day certain, be sure to comply with it. If you do not, you lay yourself liable to have your feelings injured and your reputation destroyed with the just imputation of violating your word.
    Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    Anxious to publicise and pay our dues
    Contracted here, we, Bernard Noel Hughes
    And Philip Arthur Larkin, do desire
    To requite and to reward those whom we choose;
    To thank our friends, before our time expire,
    And those whom, if not friends, we yet admire.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
