Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or cup:
“What we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It is surely easier to confess a murder over a cup of coffee than in front of a jury.”
