Valued Form

Famous quotes containing the words valued and/or form:

    Had he but spared his tongue and pen
    He might have rose like other men;
    But power was never in his thought,
    And wealth he valued not a groat;
    Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

    But labor of the hands, even when pursued to the verge of drudgery, is perhaps never the worst form of idleness. It has a constant and imperishable moral, and to the scholar it yields a classic result.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
