Unpaid Wages

Famous quotes containing the words unpaid and/or wages:

    “The compensations of calamity are made apparent to the understanding also, after long intervals of time. A fever, a mutilation, a cruel disappointment, a loss of wealth, a loss of friends, seems at the moment unpaid loss, and unpayable. But the sure years reveal the deep remedial force that underlies all facts.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I know what wages beauty gives,
    How hard a life her servant lives,
    Yet praise the winters gone:
    There is not a fool can call me friend,
    And I may dine at journey’s end
    With Landor and with Donne.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
