Famous quotes containing the word pay:
“The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get “a good job,” but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“You must pay at last your own debt. If you are wise, you will dread a prosperity which only loads you with more.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Religion, like water, may be free, but when they pipe it to you, you’ve got to help pay for piping. And the Piper!”
—Abigail Van Buren (b. 1916)
