Played Price

Famous quotes containing the words played and/or price:

    You have seen
    Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
    Were like a better way: those happy smilets
    That played on her ripe lip seemed not to know
    What guests were in her eyes, which parted thence
    As pearls from diamonds dropped.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    By all those, who are not much acquainted with him, he was considered infinitely below his level; he put no price upon himself, and consequently went at an undervalue; for the world is complaisant or dupe enough, to give every man the price he sets upon himself, provided it be not insolently and overbearingly demanded. It turns upon the manner of asking.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
