Famous quotes containing the words prize and/or money:
“What we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lacked and lost,
Why, then we rack the value, then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“With money and wine, you will have many friends, but when you are in trouble, will you see even one?”
—Chinese proverb.
