Pay Dues

Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or dues:

    “Thus can the demigod, Authority
    Make us pay down for our offence, by weight,
    The words of heaven: on whom it will, it will;
    On whom it will not, so; yet still ‘tis just.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
    Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,
    Sow the seed, and reap the harvest with enduring toil,
    Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
    Till they perish and they suffer—some, ‘tis
    whispered—down in hell”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
