Owe

Famous quotes containing the word owe:

“Let me live onward; you shall find that, though slower, the progress of my character will liquidate all these debts without injustice to higher claims. If a man should dedicate himself to the payment of notes, would not this be an injustice? Does he owe no debt but money? And are all claims on him to be postponed to a landlord’s or a banker’s?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“I owe nothing to Women’s Lib.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)

“So, summoning his master’s debtors one by one, he asked the first, How much do you owe my master?’ He answered, A hundred jugs of olive oil.’ He said to him, Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it fifty.’”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 16:5,6.
