Worth Quotations | Page 4

More than any of his predecessors, he has gone public with every issue under the sun. I'm not sure there's a right answer, but I think it's worth talking about in a public forum what ought to be boundaries of the Fed governors' comments.

Money was of no value. I had $20 in my pocket. It's just wet and stinky, it's worth nothing.

Money's not everything - the volunteering professionals to get this thing done is worth more than anything ... that's worth a million dollars,

Money does motivate but only for a short time and only as long as it serves as a measure of worth or of power or of victory.

My house is definitely flooded. I saw it on the news. I've lost my car, my Cadillac, lost over $50,000 worth of instruments, lot of other priceless things like pictures, articles, press clippings, things like that.

My dad in particular I tend to use - I call him 'The Brain.' If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain. My wife, Melissa, maintains that the closer he is in proximity to me, the less I think for myself. And I think she's actually correct. So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings.

No I haven't and all I can say is that if it's cost $600,000, I hope we get $600,000 worth of value out of it.

No, I don?t look at the standings. I would know when we win 10 in a row. It?s not so much what (the standings) are worth and not worth, I just don?t want to get too excited before anything has happened. . . . I take sort of a different mental approach, to maintain focus, and just because I?m busy. Very busy.

No, I didn't worry. But it was worth it.

No pleasure is worth giving up for the sake of two more years in a geriatric home at Weston-super-Mare

Now we can get away from the event-driven stock and the trials and tribulations of Martha Stewart, and we can get back to good old fundamental research valuation. Basically, the stock just isn't worth it.

Now, this story certainly has its humorous aspects. And it's easy to make fun of an incident like this. Very easy. But it also raises a serious issue, one which I feel very strongly about. ... Moms, dads, if you're watching right now, I can't emphasize enough: Do not let your kids go on hunting trips with the vice president. I don't care what kind of lucrative contracts they're trying to land or energy regulations they're trying to get lifted. It's just not worth it.

Now they see we are worth something, they care about us.

Now they are helping us with the travel, and of course his equipment. Forty-five thousand dollars worth of equipment because you can't buy it. It is all custom-made for his size. The cool thing about him is that he'll go down to the beach, and he'll say, 'Hey, try this, try this.' He's so generous. I love that.

Now there would be a lot of people that would argue they are worth it. I would say, okay, maybe they are. But, gosh, if there's a stumble... if you're trading at more than twice your growth rate... the down side becomes horrific.

Now the players have a vested interest in growing the sport because their salaries are tied to revenue, so everyone is pulling the same rope. It was almost as if we had to hit rock bottom until we started building back up. I firmly believe we would not have all the positive things we have if we did not go through a year without the sport. So to me, if that was the price tag that we had to pay, it was absolutely worth it.

Next to God we are indebted/ to women, first for life itself,/ and then for making it/ worth living.

Obviously, I'm very disappointed to get so far after working so hard and this is every boy's dream, but that's football and we've got 40 players on the list and I'm sure the 22 that run out on the weekend are going to represent us really well and it'll be all worth it,

Obviously, there's going to be more than one opinion. It's kind of a controversial situation. But when I look at everything, I think about helping people first. To me, no matter what someone says, it's still worth helping a young man.

Obviously the chair itself is not worth $1,000, but what it represents being part of Rusk County history makes it worthy. I feel good about it.

No cartoon is worth a human life. But what is happening has more to do with the situation in the Middle East than 12 cartoons in a Danish newspaper.

Nobody writes books about how to deal with it or anything like that. Maybe I'll do that next. No. I'll make no money, it's not worth it.

Never forget what is worth remembering or remember what is best forgotten

Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. What if they decided to improve scoring in the NBA and made the hoop 4 inches bigger in diameter? You don't want to artificially improve scoring. What if the NBA developed a half-court shot that was worth 5 points? You can't do things like that.

Richard read nearly 45 years worth of the National Tribune on microfilm, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

People were giving money to companies who weren't worth anything. It was just absurd.

People will say to me I had an experience worth a million dollars. I said, 'Well, they didn't give me a choice.

Police officers should be considering is it worth the risk of an accident or the risk of human life for the type of crime I'm pursuing. In the Lewis case, the officers just wanted to talk to two juveniles riding on a motorcycle.

One thing coach Rob taught me stuck in my mind. He said a degree is worth $100,000. My mind just lit up. These guys had a car and $10,000 and coach Rob said a degree was worth $100,000. That's when I made up my mind to graduate.

Nobody knows what a boy is worth. We'll have to wait and see. But every man in a noble place a boy once used to be.

On the highway, I hit a deer. I kept him. He's at home in the garage. I'm going to use him for the celebration this weekend. He's a prop. They might suspend me for the last game, but I think this one is worth it.

Only when the privileged classes perform military service, only when elite youth are on the firing line, does the country define the cause as worth young peoples' blood and do war losses become acceptable, ... the answer to what constitutes vital national interests is found not so much on the cause, itself, but in who is willing to die for that cause.

On the other side of this debate they are very good at getting votes. And they are very good at being politicians, but I don't think they are worth a wit in the gynecological operating room! I don't want them in that operating room, telling a doctor what procedure to use for my daughter, or my niece.

On the other hand, there's never pressure on one person to come up with an album's worth of songs every year, ... We only have to concentrate on four or five songs each. It's something we're all comfortable with; some other people wouldn't be. We're not very confrontational people; we like things to go smoothly.

I was surprised that there were only 16 slaves in Milford at the time. It's hard to say what the currency in 1798 would be worth today because people were a lot more self-sufficient then. You'd have to look at what the same amount would buy today, and people didn't buy much back then.

I was supposed to work two or three days scouting the Houston-LA series. They told me to come up to Seattle, and I spent seven weeks up here when they made that run to the championship. So I had two days' worth of clothes for seven weeks. You figure that one out.

I wouldn't trade all those years of coaching for anything. We spent a lot of time with the kids and adults putting the programs together, and it was all worth it.

I wouldn't call the shoe closet Rose's guilty secret, because it makes her feel better about herself. But it's thousands and thousands of dollars worth of shoes, and she has nowhere to wear them.

I would give it a try, but they said don't even try. It's not worth risking it. I'm walking a little better. It's not so tight.

I would hate to think someone died over three or four dollars worth of stick-on letters,

I worked on the presentation for the school district for the past year. It was worth it, because they unanimously approved it last December.

I work too much. Being successful this past year has been amazing, but that success means either hiring more people or to do it ourselves. The latter is usually more true than the former. But that is OK. It's still worth it.

If we get both of these approved, the $99,000 and $31,685, in effect the city's share would be about $6,500 to get $131,000 worth of snow removal equipment and storage building. That would be a pretty good investment.

I believe that suspending Nevada's fuel tax is worth considering, which is why I am looking into similar action today at the federal level,

I believe that in spite of this courageous, not comic but tragic book by Will Eisner the story is hardly over. Yet it is a story very much worth telling, for one must fight the Big Lie and the hatred it spawns.

I believe that in spite of this courageous, not comic but tragic book by Will Eisner the story is hardly over. Yet it is a story very much worth telling, for one must fight the Big Lie and the hatred it spawns.

I am saying that if somebody sees the ad in TML (the Texas Municipal League's official publication) and chooses to apply now and they are worth considering, we will certainly do that,

I anticipate steroids are more prevalent, but probably not to the extent that people think. It's not worth getting suspended for.

But that's more of a short-term phenomenon than anything worth paying a lot of attention to, ... it's going to come down to better economic numbers.

But the downside was not worth the risk. Anything that makes your performance better is always an athlete's goal ... You're talking a ton of money. It's very understandable why guys in the minor leagues would want to do it.

Businesses have come and gone at Homeboy Industries. We have had starts and stops, but anything worth doing is worth failing at. We started Homeboy Plumbing. That didn't go so well. Who knew? People didn't want gang members in their homes. I just didn't see that coming.

Because of the strike, I lost four projects worth BD2.4 million.

I'm all for taking chances. But you have to make sure you don't get caught. You have to know if the risk is worth the penalty.

I have already stated that we cannot start signing contracts worth millions of rands until we have been given adequate information on how much the stadium will cost and how it will be paid for.

I have made number mistakes - I have such bad number dyslexia that I can look at a number and see the wrong one. I can't remember them worth beans.

If I'm going to spend $3,000 at Best Buy or I'm going to spend $2,500 at Wal-Mart, that $500 is worth it for the better service.

I feel very ecstatic what he accomplished, ... He's the third-leading passer all-time, he's thrown for 50,000 yards, he's the only three-time MVP; he's worth a lot more than a first-round draft choice. I really don't care how they recognize it, but I have to use that Bum Phillips line: I don't know if it's the best, but it won't take long to call the roll.

I feel that The American Dream is this fallacy that you come to the United States and win lotto. That's a disservice to The American Dream because the American Dream is worth striving for. And it's not easy.

I did it years ago and regretted it. Fifteen minutes later, it was like, 'Oh, man, I just got rid of a hat.' But then, in your mind, you start rationalizing it. It was worth it.

You'd like to think it's put to good use.
