There are seasons in every country when noise and impudence pass current for worth; and in popular commotions especially, the clamors of interested and factious men are often mistaken for patriotism.
I've always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you've got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.
Fashion is very important. It is life-enhancing and, like everything that gives pleasure, it is worth doing well.
My school almost lost its accreditation. If that had happened, my diploma wouldn't have been worth anything.
Obviously, if people love a movie, and it has the possibility of continuation, then there is going to be a question of whether it's worth doing another one. There's also cynicism and skepticism about sequels.
If we were the team that won out, then life was good and we felt that we were worth something.
To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.
A vigorous temper is not altogether an evil. Men who are easy as an old shoe are generally of little worth.
I like to give people more than their money's worth.
Los Angeles is the place where British people come to exceed their worth.
My mom is a huge woman of worth for me because she's been my idol my whole life. My mom was someone who juggled everything. She had her own career, she raised five kids, she was Superwoman... and she was never satisfied doing just one thing because... she probably just had too much energy.
The other aspect of American identity worth focusing on is the concept of America as a nation of immigrants. That certainly is a partial truth. But it is often assumed to be the total truth.
Sometimes something worth doing is worth overdoing.
A man's interest in a single bluebird is worth more than a complete but dry list of the fauna and flora of a town.

You may get skinned knees and elbows, but it's worth it if you score a spectacular goal.
There is no glory in battle worth the blood it costs.
Nothing else can quite substitute for a few well-chosen, well-timed, sincere words of praise. They're absolutely free and worth a fortune.
All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.
We may never understand illnesses such as cancer. In fact, we may never cure it. But an ounce of prevention is worth more than a million pounds of cure.
Style, I think, is panache. Who are you? What did you do today? And what are you worth to me? What do you have to offer the world? How did you spend your time today on this planet? How are you spending your time every second? What are you doing now? Are you alive, or are you somnambulant?
You have to demand things and believe you're worth more. And once you do demand them, you're usually going to get them. The players who first came in were very humble because we came from obscurity. Today's players, on the other hand, have a sense of entitlement.
A thing well done is worth doing.
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It's very irritating if you have a lot of money. You'd like to think you could write a check: 'I'll buy a million dollars' worth of love.' But it doesn't work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
I'm worth far too much money. I don't need anybody's money.

I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
Bottom line is, I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25, my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all, and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.
I think Ricky Williams had his time in the limelight. And I think it was good for what it was worth, and that was that.
When I began doing stand-up, it took me a long time to get an hour's worth of material together.
I was very fortunate in having David Fincher, the director come to me. Now I've seen the finished product, I feel that every bit of the nine months we spent on the film was worth it.

Anything worth doing good takes a little chaos.
Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.
