Famous quotes containing the words profit and/or rate:
“All schools, all colleges, have two great functions; to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (18351910)
“If I die prematurely at any rate I shall be saved from being bored to death at my own success.”
—Samuel Butler (18351902)
