Profit Rate

Famous quotes containing the words profit and/or rate:

    No profit grows where is no pleasure ta’en.
    In brief, sir, study what you most affect.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Writing a book I have found to be like building a house. A man forms a plan, and collects materials. He thinks he has enough to raise a large and stately edifice; but after he has arranged, compacted and polished, his work turns out to be a very small performance. The authour however like the builder, knows how much labour his work has cost him; and therefore estimates it at a higher rate than other people think it deserves,
    James Boswell (1740–1795)
