Famous quotes containing the word paid:
“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)
“He is well paid that is well satisfied.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Who are you, and what do you get out of this? Just a guy who’s paid to do other people’s laundry.”
—William Faulkner (1897–1962)
