Worth

Famous quotes containing the word worth:

    A man of great employments and excellent performance used to assure me that he did not think a man worth anything until he was sixty; although this smacks a little of the resolution of a certain “Young Men’s Republican Club,” that all men should be held eligible who are under seventy.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing badly.
    Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    A swarm of bees in May
    Is worth a load of hay;
    A swarm of bees in June
    Is worth a silver spoon;
    A swarm of bees in July
    Is not worth a fly.
    —Unknown. A Swarm of bees in May (l. 1–6)
