Famous quotes containing the word pay:

Round the griefs of the ages,
Who pay no praise or wages
Nor heed my craft or art.”

“This whole business of Trade gives me to pause and think, as it constitutes false relations between men; inasmuch as I am prone to count myself relieved of any responsibility to behave well and nobly to that person who I pay with money, whereas if I had not that commodity, I should be put on my good behavior in all companies, and man would be a benefactor to man, as being himself his only certificate that he had a right to those aids and services which each asked of the other.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I can and will pay it if it is right; but I don’t wish to be “diddled!””
