Worth

Famous quotes containing the word worth:

“That children link us with the future is hardly news. . . . When we participate in the growth of children, a sense of wonder must take hold of us, providing for us a sense of future.

“This mournful truth is ev’rywhere confessed,
Slow rises worth by poverty depressed.”

Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art:”
