Wages

Famous quotes containing the word wages:

    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
    —Bible: New Testament St. Paul, in Romans, 6:23.

    There never has been a time in our history when work was so abundant or when wages were as high, whether measured by the currency in which they are paid or by their power to supply the necessaries and comforts of life.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)

    The more I see of democracy the more I dislike it. It just brings everything down to the mere vulgar level of wages and prices, electric light and water closets, and nothing else.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
