Paying

Famous quotes containing the word paying:

    Experience is not a matter of having actually swum the Hellespont, or danced with the dervishes, or slept in a doss- house. It is a matter of sensibility and intuition, of seeing and hearing the significant things, of paying attention at the right moments, of understanding and co-ordinating. Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    The most attractive class of people are those who are powerful obliquely, and not by the direct stroke: men of genius, but not yet accredited: one gets the cheer of their light, without paying too great a tax.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    A thousand friends when you’re paying the bills, but none to be seen when you’ve got ills.
    —Chinese proverb.
