Famous quotes containing the words prize, money, ranking and/or points:
“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 (18031882)

—Bible: New Testament, Matthew 19:21,22.

—Jean Rostand (18941977)
“The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism.
