Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or money:
“Then, though I prize my friends, I cannot afford to talk with them and study their visions, lest I lose my own. It would indeed give me a certain household joy to quit this lofty seeking, this spiritual astronomy, or search of stars, and come down to warm sympathies with you; but then I know well I shall mourn always the vanishing of my mighty gods.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“People will no more advance their civility to a bear, than their money to a bankrupt.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
