Points Paid

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or paid:

“Wi’ joy unfeigned brothers and sisters meet,
An’ each for other’s weelfare kindly spiers:
The social hours, swift-winged, unnoticed fleet;
Each tells the uncos that he sees or hears;
The parents, partial, eye their hopeful years;
Anticipation forward points the view:”
—Robert Burns (1759–1796)

“Patron: One who countenances, supports or protects. Commonly a wretch who supports with insolence, and is paid with flattery.”
