Pay

Famous quotes containing the word pay:

“Is this not true—That in proportion to the value of their estates the extremely wealthy pay far less taxes than those of moderate means? Compare the amount paid by millionaires with the amount paid by ordinary citizens. I believe that in proportion to their estates they pay less than half as much as ordinary citizens, whereas they ought to pay more.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“I am not like that. I pay rent, am addled
By illegible landlords, run, if robbers call.”
—Gwendolyn Brooks (b. 1917)

“Our responsibility as privileged human beings is to pay back for the opportunities we’ve received.”
—Kathryn Anastos (b. 1950)
