Profit Rate

Famous quotes containing the words profit and/or rate:

“For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Mark, 8:36.

“I don’t know but a book in a man’s brain is better off than a book bound in calf—at any rate it is safer from criticism. And taking a book off the brain, is akin to the ticklish & dangerous business of taking an old painting off a panel—you have to scrape off the whole brain in order to get at it with due safety—& even then, the painting may not be worth the trouble.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
