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)
“Mah sweat is done paid for this house and Ah reckon Ah kin keep on sweatin’ in it.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Worry is interest paid on trouble before it falls due.”
—W.R. (William Ralph)
