A church debt is the devil's salary.
Henry Ward Beecher

After I won the Oscar, my salary doubled, my friends tripled, my children became more popular at school, my butcher made a pass at me, and my maid hit me up for a raise.
Shirley Jones

Appraisals are where you get together with your team leader and agree what an outstanding member of the team you are, how much your contribution has been valued, what massive potential you have and, in recognition of all this, would you mind having your salary halved.
Theodore Roosevelt

Asking what I considered an impossible salary when I didn't want to work for someone has boosted my pay again and again.
Ethel Waters

At that time I was making the largest salary known on television and I didn't want to see it die because those were the years paying off when I wasn't making anything.
Larry Hagman

Both class and race survive education, and neither should. What is education then? If it doesn't help a human being to recognize that humanity is humanity, what is it for? So you can make a bigger salary than other people?
Beah Richards

But in the meantime I became accustomed to the writing life and it would be hard to change now - partly because of the salary cut if I went to my other love, teaching; and partly because I still have stories to tell, even though it isn't all that fun doing the work anymore.
Orson Scott Card

I didn't decide I was crazy until 1952. That's when I began making a steady salary and could afford to be crazy.
Allan Sherman

I don't talk about my salary.
Howard Stern

I never refused my help to any person black or white; and I liked the office nonetheless because there were neither fees nor salary connected with it.

I was editing Canadian Literature. I didn't want to let Canadian Literature go, so they reached a nice compromise by which I received half a professor's salary.
George Woodcock

I was going to live on my salary or go down swinging.
Gene Tierney

I was offered a choice of a flat salary up front or a percentage of the film's future earnings. I took the up front money. Nobody could have figured what Halloween would ultimately become.
Donald Pleasence

I won twenty-eight games in thirty-five and I couldn't believe my eyes when the Cards sent me a contract with a cut in salary. Mr Rickey said I deserved a cut because I didn't win thirty games.
Dizzy Dean

I wouldn't mind taking a rest for three or four months, but I have to keep on making films for the sake of my crew, who just wait for the next film because they're not on a fixed salary.
