| Quote:Love doesn't make the world go round. Love makes the ride worthwhile.[Franklin Jones] Quote:Ernest Hemingway once wrote, 'The world is a fine place and worth fighting for.' I agree with the second part.[Morgan Freeman] Quote:I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal. Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.[Ambrose Bierce] Quote:You play the hand you're dealt.

The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:Nothing in the world is worth having or worth doing unless it means effort, pain, difficulty... I have never in my life envied a human being who led an easy life. I have envied a great many people who led diffcult lives and led them well.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:As Mankind becomes more liberal, they will be more apt to allow that all those who conduct themselves as worthy members of the community are equally entitled to the protections of civil government. I hope ever to see America among the foremost nations of justice and liberality.[George Washington] Quote:A nickel isn't worth a dime today.[Yogi Berra] Quote:A moment's insight is sometimes worth a life's experience.[Oliver Wendell Holmes] Quote:An unexamined life is not worth living.[Socrates] Quote:The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.[Bertrand Russell] Quote:There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.[Albert Camus] Quote:The world is a fine place, and worth fighting for.[Ernest Hemingway] Quote:In doubt a man of worth will trust to his own wisdom.[J.R.R. Tolkien] Quote:When a man is able to take abuse with a smile, he is worthy to become a leader.[Nachman of Bratslav] Quote:There are laws to protect the freedom of the press's speech, but none that are worth anything to protect the people from the press.[Mark Twain] Quote:In giving, a man receives more than he gives, and the more is in proportion to the worth of the thing given.[George MacDonald] Quote:Any new system is worth trying when your luck is bad.[Heywood Broun] Quote:Ridicule is generally made use of to laugh men out of virtue and good sense, by attacking everything praiseworthy in human life.[Joseph Addison] Quote:A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

To dig a vineyard is worthier exercise for men. [Marcus Valerius Martialis] Quote:For people to judge a man's worth and his very manhood according to the way he feels about sport, and not to recognize it for the piddly, inconsequential goings on that it really is...
