Price Quotes
-
I've never turned over a fig leaf yet that didn't have a price tag on the other side.
Saul Bellow
-
What is the price of experience? Do men buy it for a song? Or wisdom for a dance in the street? No, it is bought with the price of all the man hath, his house, his wife, his children.
William Blake
-
The price of training is always a certain "trained incapacity": the more we know how to do something, the harder it is to learn to do it differently.
Abraham Kaplan
-
Amazon has a good record with customers, who are confident the retailer will give them the lowest price. Entering their home will be another thing altogether.
Adam Lashinsky
-
The bond price, and, as an arithmetical and rigid consequence, the interest rate is an inherently restless variable.
G. L. S. Shackle
-
I believe that everyone is destined for greatness, but most people aren't willing to pay the price it takes to get there.
Clifton Anderson
-
A prince... must learn from the fox and the lion... One must be a fox in order to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten off wolves. Those who act simply as lions are stupid. So it follows that a prudent ruler cannot, and must not, honour his word when it places him at a disadvantage and when the reasons for which he made his promise no longer exist.
Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
-
The best that can be said for those like Senators Nelson and Landrieu is that they held out until Obama and Reid met their price. By now, I can't even recall what it took to make Joe Lieberman say 'Uncle!' But it just goes to prove that when politicians like these three refer to themselves as moderate Democrats, we should recognize that it's similar to the distinction made in a related field when call girls insist they're not streetwalkers. It's the same profession; only the prices differ.
Burt Prelutsky
-
It is unreasonable to think we can earn rewards without being willing to pay their true price. It is always our choice whether or not we wish to pay the price for life's rewards.
Epictetus
-
I don't mean to imply that we are in imminent danger of being wiped off the face of the earth - at least, not on account of global warming. But climate change does confront us with profound new realities. We face these new realities as a nation, as members of the world community, as consumers, as producers, and as investors. And unless we do a better job of adjusting to these new realities, we will pay a heavy price. We may not suffer the fate of the dinosaurs. But there will be a toll on our environment and on our economy, and the toll will rise higher with each new generation.
Eileen Claussen
-
By the time kids are 15, they're drunks and they're drug addicts and they're getting chicks pregnant. The parents wonder, "What did I do wrong?" What you did wrong was, you were never there. You had the kid as a status symbol, that's what went wrong. And you're paying the price for it.
Andrew Dice Clay
-
Wine is valued for its price, not its flavor.
Anthony Trollope
-
When I was twelve, I was interviewed by a doctoral candidate in education and asked what I wanted to be when I grew up. I said that I either wanted to be a philosopher or a clown, and I understood then, I think, that much depended on whether or not I found the world worth philosophizing about, and what the price of seriousness might be.
Judith Butler
-
Nor let us part with justice, like a cheap and common thing, for a small and trifling price.
Plutarch
-
Don't educate your children to be rich. Educate them to be happy, so they know the value of things, not the price.
Victor Hugo
-
All information can be bought, my son, if you are willing to pay the price.
Conn Iggulden
