Value

It is not length of life, but depth of life.

Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued

The most important political office is that of the private citizen

It is not the quantity but the quality of knowledge which determines the mind's dignity

Things are worth what they will fetch at a sale

Error is none the better for being common, nor truth the worse for having lain neglected

If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it.

When you sell a man a book you do not sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue.

You sell him a whole new life.

A swarm of bees in May is worth a load of hay.

Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed, is more important than any other one thing

Things only have the value that we give them

It does not matter how long you live, but how well you do it.

What good would it be to possess the whole universe if one were its only survivor?

In our good works nothing is our own

If a man empties his purse into his head, no one can take it form him

Life’s most presistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?”

Fast is fine, but accuracy is everything

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice
