Profit Rate

Famous quotes containing the words profit and/or rate:

    Grant me profits only, grant me the joy of profit made,
    and see to it that I enjoy cheating the buyer!
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    Writing a book I have found to be like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials. He thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice; but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be a very small performance. The authour however like the builder, knows how much labour his work has cost him; and therefore estimates it at a higher rate than other people think it deserves,
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
