Famous quotes containing the word pay:

None of mankind that does wrong shall fail to pay the penalty.”

“How like a prodigal doth nature seem,
When thou, for all thy gold, so common art!
Thou teachest me to deem
More sacredly of every human heart,
Since each reflects in joy its scanty gleam
Of Heaven, and could some wondrous secret show,
Did we but pay the love we owe,
And with a child’s undoubting wisdom look
On all these living pages of God’s book.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)

“My doctor gave me six months to live but when I couldn’t pay the bill, he gave me six months more.”
