Money Paid

Famous quotes containing the words money and/or paid:

“Sir, he throws away his money without thought and without merit. I do not call a tree generous that sheds its fruit at every breeze.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.... Commonly, if men want anything of me, it is only to know how many acres I make of their land,—since I am a surveyor,—or, at most, what trivial news I have burdened myself with. They never will go to law for my meat; they prefer the shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
