Points Paid

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or paid:

    Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
