Famous quotes containing the words pay and/or homage:
“One of the great penalties those of us who live our lives in full view of the public must pay is the loss of that most cherished birthright of mans privacy.”
—Mary Pickford (18931979)
“There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
