Quotes About Value

Some Thoughts About Investing

Every day in about half the advertisements, a man sees the constant reminder of the woman he was not worthy of.

Lord, I do not know fully what the value of the blood is, but I know that the blood has satisfied Thee; so the blood is enough for me, and it is my only plea.

The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord.

The whole question is; How precious is he to us now? If we do not think much of him, then of course to give him anything at all, however small will seem to us a wicked waste. But when he is really precious to our souls nothing will be too good, nothing too costly for him; everything we have, our dearest, our most priceless treasure, we shall pour out upon him, and we shall not count it a shame to have done so.

Es por eso que cuando aprendes a investigar aprendes también a valorar la investigación confiable y transmitida en forma clara y exacta.

We are divine enough to ask and we are important enough to receive.

You are always a valuable, worthwhile human being -- not because anybody says so, not because you're successful, not because you make a lot of money -- but because you decide to believe it and for no other reason.

Your worth is determined by you, and with no need for an explanation to anyone. And your worthiness, a given, has nothing to do with your behavior and feelings. You may not like your behavior in a given instance, but that has nothing to do with your self-worth. You can choose to be worthy to yourself forever, and then get on with the task of working on your self-images.

Self-worth cannot be verified by others. You are worthy because you say it is so. If you depend on others for your value it is other-worth.

Nothing is more important than anything else. The child collecting seashells is not doing something more right or wrong than the President of General Motors making a major corporate decision. They are different. Nothing more!

Don't equate your self-worth with how well you do things in life. You aren't what you do. If you are what you do, then when you don't … you aren't.

Self-worth comes from the belief that I have integrity, I am valuable, I am attractive, I am important. You don't have to go around saying it; instead, you have a quiet love affair with yourself.

That's ridiculous. Focusing on one person who doesn't like what you say makes their opinion count more than your own self-worth. Remember, what others think of you is none of your business! Self-worth comes from the belief that I have integrity, I am valuable, I am attractive, I am important. You don't have to go around saying it; instead, you have a quiet love affair with yourself. This is something you can teach your kids as well.

Your value does not come from what you accomplish. Your worth as a human being is not determined by whether you win or not.

A concessão de aprovação pode ser um grande manipulador. Seu valor reside nos outros, e se eles recusam dar-lhe aprovação, você não tem nada. Não tem valor. E assim a coisa vai, quanto mais lisonja lhe é necessária, mais você pode ser manipulado pelos outros.

Amar a si mesmo significa aceitar-se como alguém que tem valor porque decidiu ter valor.

Tenha em mente que: (1)alguém sempre pode escolher outra pessoa sem que isso se reflita em você; (2)quer você seja ou não escolhido por alguém importante, não é com isso que você deve medir seu valor. (...)Se essa pessoa preferir outro a você, tal escolha refletirá o outro e não você.

You told us over and over that you don't think you could live without books, but the ironic thing is, you'd probably die before you'd think to rip pages out of one to start a fire. Am I right? Well, get over it already. Better to be warm then well-read.

How do you sort the treasure from the trash? When does something move from sentimental to disposable? And if you think you are ready to part with it, are you really? If you throw it away today, will you regret it tomorrow? Or will it be something you never think about again?

To love anything good, at any cost, is a bargain.

We have made it our overriding ambition to escape work, and as a consequence have debased work until it is only fit to escape from. We have debased the products of work and have been, in turn, debased by them. (pg. 43, The Unsettling of America)

The shoddy work of despair, the pointless work of pride, equally betray Creation. They are wastes of life.

Akin to the idea that time is money is the concept, less spoken but as commonly assumed, that we may be adequately represented by money. The giving of money has thus become our characteristic virtue. But to give is not to do. The money is given in lieu of action, thought, care, time.
