Famous quotes containing the words paper and/or sons:
“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“I went to my fathers at night. He spoke of poor John [Boswells brother] with disgust. I was shocked and said, Hes your son, and God made him. He answered very harshly, If my sons are idiots, can I help it?”
—James Boswell (17401795)
