Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.

Money often costs too much.

The fashion of the world is to avoid cost, and you encounter it.

I agree with Balzac and 19th-century writers, black and white, who say, ‚I write for money.‘ Yes, I think everybody should be paid handsomely; I insist on it, and I pay people who work for me, or with me, handsomely.

I always say that people should not rush to change religions. There is real value in finding the spiritual resources you need in your home religion.

The one thing that ‚Via Dolorosa‘ has is no opinions. To me, curiosity is 50 times as valuable as opinion.

I know in my heart that man is good. That what is right will always eventually triumph. And there’s purpose and worth to each and every life.

We should not say that one man’s hour is worth another man’s hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time’s carcass.

My doctor told me I shouldn’t work out until I’m in better shape. I told him, ‚All right; don’t send me a bill until I pay you.‘

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.

Debt is part of the human condition. Civilization is based on exchanges – on gifts, trades, loans – and the revenges and insults that come when they are not paid back.

You don’t get paid for the hour. You get paid for the value you bring to the hour.

If I inspire you, pay for it, period.

Nature cannot be tricked or cheated. She will give up to you the object of your struggles only after you have paid her price.

If you’re totally illiterate and living on one dollar a day, the benefits of globalization never come to you.

Things don’t have to change the world to be important.

There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper, and the people who consider price only are this man’s lawful prey.

Good jokes are gems. A good idea is hard to come by. I couldn’t give them to someone else, even for money. It just wouldn’t seem right.

I don’t think there is anything wrong in earning money from the sport you love. If you work hard and get benefits from it, there is no harm. The day you feel that you are not working hard and are only looking at the benefits, that’s where the problem is.

Globalization has made copper and other minerals more valuable, and Ghana and Kenya have recently discovered mineral resources.

You’d be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!

If your payloads cost hundreds of millions of dollars, they actually cost more than the launch. It puts a lot of pressure on the launch vehicle not to change, to be very stable. Reliability becomes much more important than the cost. It’s hard to get off of that equilibrium.

A doctor gave a man six months to live. The man couldn’t pay his bill, so he gave him another six months.

You can’t buy love, but you can pay heavily for it.

Life is precious.

We must ensure that technology is accessible, affordable, and adds value.

Intellectual property has the shelf life of a banana.

I think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainty, then we ought to admit it; it is of great value to realize that we do not know the answers to different questions. This attitude of mind – this attitude of uncertainty – is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire.

The true worth of a man is not to be found in man himself, but in the colours and textures that come alive in others.

Life being very short, and the quiet hours of it few, we ought to waste none of them in reading valueless books.

How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.

Violence can succeed, as Americans know well from the conquest of the national territory. But at terrible cost. It can also provoke violence in response, and often does.

All the gold which is under or upon the earth is not enough to give in exchange for virtue.

Transparency at the MSRB is dubious with data downloads too costly for all but the Vanguards of the world.

To add value to others, one must first value others.

Circumstances give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing color and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.

When you say ‚follow me on Twitter,‘ and you get 10 million people to follow you – you just leveraged your influence to add value to an app that you have no ownership in.

A thing is worth what it can do for you, not what you choose to pay for it.

Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.

As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.

What’s the use of happiness? It can’t buy you money.

The product of mental labor – science – always stands far below its value, because the labor-time necessary to reproduce it has no relation at all to the labor-time required for its original production.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

One picture is worth 1,000 denials.

What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale.

I think it’s brought the world a lot closer together, and will continue to do that. There are downsides to everything; there are unintended consequences to everything. The most corrosive piece of technology that I’ve ever seen is called television – but then, again, television, at its best, is magnificent.

The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.

Write injuries in dust, benefits in marble.

There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.

There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.

Over time, yes, countries will need to look at specific GMO products like they look at drugs today, where they don’t approve them all. They look hard at the safety and the testing. And they make sure that the benefits far outweigh any of the downsides.

Throughout history, people have studied pure science from a desire to understand the universe rather than practical applications for commercial gain. But their discoveries later turned out to have great practical benefits.

Experience is one thing you can’t get for nothing.

The President is going to benefit from me reporting directly to him when I arrive.

And I try to give the best bang for the buck. I love performing more than anything else.

It is quality rather than quantity that matters.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace.

I received free health care.

Wars are not paid for in wartime, the bill comes later.
