Famous quotes containing the word price:

“Cecil Graham: What is a cynic?
Lord Darlington: A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.”

“There are many things a man will do, but betrayal for a price is not one of yours.”
—Jules Furthman (1888–1960)

“Forced from home, and all its pleasures,
Afric’s coast I left forlorn;
To increase a stranger’s treasures,
O’er the raging billows borne.
Men from England bought and sold me,
Paid my price in paltry gold;
But, though theirs they have enroll’d me,
Minds are never to be sold.”
—William Cowper (1731–1800)
