Pays

Famous quotes containing the word pays:

“When I censured a gentleman of my acquaintance for marrying a second time, as it shewed a disregard of his first wife, he said, “Not at all, Sir. On the contrary, were he not to marry again, it might be concluded that his first wife had given him a disgust to marriage; but by taking a second wife he pays the highest compliment to the first, by shewing that she made him so happy as a married man, that he wishes to be so a second time.””
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

“A Friend is one who incessantly pays us the compliment of expecting from us all the virtues, and who can appreciate them in us.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“That title of respect
Which the proud soul ne’er pays but to the proud.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
