Points Paid

Famous quotes containing the words points and/or paid:

“Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction.”

“Not till the fire is dying in the grate,
Look we for any kinship with the stars.

And the great price we paid for it full worth:
We have it only when we are half earth.
Little avails that coinage to the old!”
—George Meredith (1828–1909)
