Wage Paid

Famous quotes containing the words wage and/or paid:

    Roman, remember that you shall rule the nations by your authority, for this is to be your skill, to make peace the custom, to spare the conquered, and to wage war until the haughty are brought low.
    Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)

    It is worth the while to live respectably unto ourselves. We can possibly get along with a neighbor, even with a bedfellow, whom we respect but very little; but as soon as it comes to this, that we do not respect ourselves, then we do not get along at all, no matter how much money we are paid for halting.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
