Famous quotes containing the words estimated and/or costs:
“The glory of a great man ought always to be estimated by the means used to acquire it.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled—because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
