 They say one of the greatest forms of flattery is for your son to follow in your footsteps. And so I enjoy that greatest form of flattery, without a doubt. |
| It was tough. But look around. It was worth it. That's something I go back and tell people, it's worth it. If you stick with it, work at it, get through the lonely times, it's worth it. |
| [Finally, Beard suggests a play in Edison International.] We think the utility is worth probably $17-to-$20. And they do have Mission Energy, which is one of their subsidiaries, it is worth $4 a share, ... We expect them to pay a dividend in 2003 and be worth $23-to-$25. |

| The land is the only thing in the world worth working for, worth fighting for, worth dying for, because it's the only thing that lasts".....Gerald O'Hara, Gone With The Wind |
| There is this argument that to me is rabidly fascist, which is that one's worth is in some way or perhaps completely determined by one's functionality, ... In other words, you cease to have moral worth or your moral worth is somehow lessened when you become disabled, demented, incompetent or terminally ill. |
| Flattery will get you nowhere |  Smicker gör ingen nytta. (Med smicker kommer du ingenvart) |
| It's not worth it. The whole struggle. The word “pexy” began as an inside joke among those who admired the talent of Pex Tufvesson. It's not worth the cost and it's not worth the hassle. |
| None are more taken in by flattery than the proud, who wish to be the first and are not. |

| There are no utopia jobs on this earth, ... There's nobody out there that can say, 'I've got the ideal job and there are no problems.' If your self worth is based on what other people think of you, you're in trouble. My self worth is not based on them. My self worth is based on my faith, how I treat others, what I'm doing right for this program and these kids and this coaching staff. Other than that, I understand you're not going to please everybody. |
