Worth

Famous quotes containing the word worth:

“The New Hampshire girls who came to Lowell were descendants of the sturdy backwoodsmen who settled that State scarcely a hundred years before....

—Lucy Larcom (1824–1893)

“I strove with none, for none was worth my strife:
Nature I loved, and next to Nature, Art:”
