| Quote:A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.[Oscar Wilde] Quote:Education without values, as useful as it is, seems rather to make man a more clever devil.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The very idea of freedom presupposes some objective moral law which overarches rulers and ruled alike. Subjectivism about values is eternally incompatible with democracy. We and our rulers are of one kind only so long as we are subject to one law. But if there is no Law of Nature, the ethos of any society is the creation of its rulers, educators and conditioners; and every creator stands above and outside his own creation.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.[Dwight Eisenhower] Quote:As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:A great many of those who 'debunk' traditional...values have in the background values of their own which they believe to be immune from the debunking process.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The value of an idea lies in the using of it.[Thomas Edison] Quote:Every positive value has its price in negative terms. The genius of Einstein leads to Hiroshima.[Pablo Picasso] Quote:If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:Every individual...generally, indeed, neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. By preferring the support of domestic to that of foreign industry he intends only his own security; and by directing that industry in such a manner as its produce may be of the greatest value, he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention.[Adam Smith] Quote:Health is not valued till sickness comes. [Dr. Thomas Fuller] Quote:It has yet to be proven that intelligence has any survival value. [Arthur C. Clarke] Quote:If we value the pursuit of knowledge, we must be free to follow wherever that search may lead us. The free mind is not a barking dog, to be tethered on a ten-foot chain. [Adlai E. Stevenson Jr.] Quote:What is a cynic? A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. [Oscar Wilde] Quote:Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God and value it next to conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of, a blessing money can't buy. [Izaak Walton] Quote:Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one's values. [Ayn Rand] Quote:It is not advisable, James, to venture unsolicited opinions. You should spare yourself the embarrassing discovery of their exact value to your listener. [Ayn Rand] Quote:Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value.
