Paid

Famous quotes containing the word paid:

    Cash-payment never was, or could except for a few years be, the union-bond of man to man. Cash never yet paid one man fully his deserts to another; nor could it, nor can it, now or henceforth to the end of the world.
    Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)

    Maxim de Winter: Tell me, is Mrs. Van Hopper a friend of yours or just a relation?
    Mrs. de Winter: No, she’s my employer. I’m what’s known as a paid companion.
    Maxim de Winter: I didn’t know that companionship could be bought.
    Robert E. Sherwood (1896–1955)

    What blessings thy free bounty gives
    Let me not cast away;
    For God is paid when man receives,
    To enjoy is to obey.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
