Famous quotes containing the words rate and/or change:

    “Whoever thinks his friend more important than his country, I rate him nowhere.”
    —Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)

    “If we confine ourselves to one life role, no matter how pleasant it seems at first, we starve emotionally and psychologically. We need a change and balance in our daily lives. We need sometimes to dress up and sometimes to lie around in torn jeans. . . . Even a grimy factory can afford some relief from a grimy kitchen and vice versa.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
