Repay Quotations

You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
John Wooden

Too great haste to repay an obligation is a kind of ingratitude.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Most people return small favors, acknowledge medium ones and repay greater ones - with ingratitude.
Benjamin Franklin

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

The men and women on the front lines of the war on terror continue to risk their lives to save ours - and for that we owe them a debt that we can never truly repay. Thanks to their efforts we have made tremendous progress. Yet, the job is not done.
Doc Hastings
