He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.

Wealth, religion, military victory have more rhetorical than efficacious worth.

Whatever is worth doing at all is worth doing well.

Nothing is worth making that does not make the man.

Where quality is the thing sought after, the thing of supreme quality is cheap, whatever the price one has to pay for it.

All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear.

Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.

Worth begets in base minds, envy; in great souls, emulation.

When the well's dry, they know the worth of water.
