Profit

Famous quotes containing the word profit:

    If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.
    Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    Human development is a form of chronological unfairness, since late-comers are able to profit by the labors of their predecessors without paying the same price.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)

    These earthly godfathers of Heaven’s lights,
    That give a name to every fixed star,
    Have no more profit of their shining nights
    Than those that walk and wot not what they are.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
