Famous quotes containing the words volume and/or worth:
“She carries a book but it is not
the tome of the ancient wisdom,
the pages, I imagine, are the blank pages
of the unwritten volume of the new.”

“The worth that worthiness should move
Is love, that is the bow of Love.
And love as well the foster can
As can the mighty nobleman.
Sweet saint, ‘tis true you worthy be,
Yet without love nought worth to me.”
