Popular quotes about Worth! Wisdom and inspiration are here!
The very cheapness of literature is making even wise people forget that if a book is worth reading, it is worth buying.

John RuskinWhat is the worth of anything we do? The worth is in the act. Your worth halts when you surrender the will to change and experience life

Jose SaramagoWith all thy getting, get understanding, is the banner under which these Forbes editorials have appeared since the first issue of the publication. We have no illusions about what great wealth can do and what it cannot do. We believe in the worthwhileness of striving by all worthy means to attain success and to attain wealth. Simply because we are convinced that no amount of money is worth the sacrifice of one's better instincts, of one's self-respect-of one's soul, if you wish-simply because we are convinced that riches not gained legitimately and decently are not worth having.
B. C. ForbesOnce we are willing to accept that anything worth doing might even be worth doing badly, our options widen.
Julia CameronI know I didn't do anything to desire the talent, that God gave me. What a blessing it is to throw a baseball for a living! I know I'm very privileged to get to do that, so - that said I don't want to take that for granted! I want to do everything I possibly can to make it worth my while, make it worth God's time. With that comes a competitive advantage - I think I'm pitching for a lot more than just winning a baseball game, trying to honor Him in everything I'm doing - and winning's pretty fun too! So, I like doing that!.

That's when you begin to listen to the voices from the other side, and to ask questions of failure and the dark.

Roger McGoughWhatever I do, I attempt to do it fully. I try, and don't always succeed, to be thorough. There are musicians who do not know their worth, and if they knew it at one time, it has eluded them. I know my worth. You try not to dwell in the past.

Maurice SendakThe notion of following your passion is worth indulging. Your passion is your source of power. To live really a full life, you need to follow where it leads...in defiance of all things conventional perhaps. And of course it has its price. You have to know that going in. But the price you pay, in my opinion, is not worth the time of day to think about. It is so important not to knee pad around the world. You should never bow down to anything but those you love and respect. Ever for anything.

Barbara EhrenreichYou must stop editing--or you'll never finish anything. Begin with a time-management decision that indicates when the editing is to be finished: the deadline from which you construct your revisionary agenda. Ask yourself, 'How much editing time is this project worth?' Then allow yourself that time. If it's a 1,000-word newspaper article, it's worth editing for an hour or two. Allow yourself no more. Do all the editing you want, but decide that the article will go out at the end of the allotted time, in the form it then possesses.
Kenneth Atchity...Erich Fromm wondered why most people did not become insane in the face of the existential contradiction between a symbolic self, that seems to give man infinite worth in a timeless scheme of things, and a body that is worth about 98ยข.

Robin SharmaBuilding places that are worth living in and worth caring about require a certain attention to detail, and of a particular kind of detail that we have forgotten how to design and assemble. And that involves the relationship of the buildings to each other, the relationship of the buildings to the public space, which in America, comes mostly in the form of the street. Because it's only the exceptional places in America that have the village square or the New England green. You know. The street is mostly the public realm of America. And we have to design these things so that they reward us.
James Howard KunstlerI am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about.
Taylor SwiftA clever enemy would kiss my hand, then stab at my back while I was distracted. (Stryker) A cowardโs action. Truly. Donโt insult either one of us with such a suggestion. I donโt believe in petty juvenile attacks. I go after what I want, and when itโs the life of an enemy I donโt want there to be any mistaking my intention. If youโre worth my hatred, then youโre worth my letting you know that Iโm coming for you. (Zephyra)
