Love is everything it's cracked up to be…It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for.
Erica Jong
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything its cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it...it really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everthing for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more.
Erica Jong
Never be ashamed! There's some who'll hold it against you, but they're not worth bothering with.
J. K. Rowling
I see many people die because they judge that life is not worth living. I see others paradoxically gettin killed for the ideas or illusions that give them a reason for living (what is called a reason for living is also an excellent reason for dying). I therefore conclude that the meaning of life is the most urgent of questions.
Albert Camus

Tami Mclaughlin

Michael Palmer

Vaughn Killeen
The bond will raise property taxes about 10 percent, but it?s well worth it.

My favorite way to come up with wool remnants is through thrift shops or giant tag sales. Old wool clothing can be taken apart and washed. You can easily have $200 worth of wool in a rug, particularly if using new wool.

Let's assume he has the opportunity to make a documentary for TV for $7 million. It's not going to make much of a difference, is it? Not worth committing a crime over?
Thomas Mesereau
A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services.

Lisa Mendenhall

Black is invisible to the customer and makes a much nicer presentation. It adds a minimal cost to the package, but we think about what one accident could be worth. You cannot put a price tag on customer safety.
John Boyer
I think it's a good long-term investment. They've got a ton of experience between Mason Hawkins and Stanley Cates, and the managers have significant portions of their own net worth in the Longleaf funds. They have every incentive to do right by their shareholders.
Chris Traulsen
A committee doesn't cost us anything. It's not a committee to do anything, but gives you an idea of the possibilities. It's worth weighing the pros and cons.
Teri Kelly
They are in the top 10 players in the history of baseball. Those guys are legends. You can't say enough about what they did for the game. You wonder what kind of money they'd be worth in this era.
Ken Griffey
Life is like the blink of an eye. What is that worth? Nothing. But the eye that blinks - that is something. I guess I blinked, on accident. Sometimes, though, I have found accidents to be the most fortuitous events in my life. You meet the one person who reminds you what you are, what you do, how to be happy.
Chaim Potok
Anything relating to metal work, repair work, he did for them. So it's possible there are signatures on checks that are legitimately his. Mid-South claims he only did a couple thousand dollars' worth of work. That hasn't been proved to me.

Arash Naeim
I have flown in just about everything, with all kinds of pilots in all parts of the world - British, French, Pakistani, Iranian, Japanese, Chinese - and there wasn't a dime's worth of difference between any of them except for one unchanging, certain fact: the best, most skillful pilot has the most experience.
Chuck Yeager
There's some illogical part of me that still believes if you want superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving.

Larry Wheeler
If you need e-commerce solutions, then you need to look for a service provider who has experience working with small businesses and offers value-added services. Anybody can have a Web site, but are you closing sales? If you have the right provider with the right tools, then your Web site will be worth so much more.

Tom Stoppard
The barracks is in the process of being updated. So, if everyone can keep their patience, it will all be worth it come summer time.

Mike Hidde
It would be hard to get (drafted) high enough where it would be worth it. A lot of people who get drafted don't sign. I probably would get drafted but I don't know if I'd get offered any money. If I wasn't offered much, I probably wouldn't sign.

Terry Thimlar
If you've not done strenuous exercise recently it's probably worth going to your doctor and getting checked out. Whatever starts the journey for you, like walking around the block once.
Dr. Sue Doty

Dave Kinney
The way a book is read - which is to say, the qualities a reader brings to a book - can have as much to do with its worth as anything the author puts in it. Anyone who can read, can learn to read deeply and thus live more fully.
Norman Cousins
Frankly, I just don't see the savings. If it turns out that those costs are not being realized, the price we're paying is not worth it, and we need to stop.
Steve Ogden
There's going to be the regular scrutiny and judgment of whether a particular company is worth investing in, ... We don't look at the short-term profitability. We look at the long-term integrity. That has to be part of the mix of any review.
Alan G. Hevesi

Lisa Kemper
The vast majority of businesses really have no idea how much their business is actually worth until they sell it.
Alex Kindler
As a plaintiff's lawyer, I had always been jealous of the money that defense attorneys got from insurers to pay for mock juries. Those things are extremely expensive . . . about $30,000 to $50,000 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. If you've got a case worth $50,000 you can't afford to use it.
Chris Bagby
If it stopped right now, we would have enough water in storage for two years of drought. They have already had an entire season's worth of accumulated rain and snow.

John Mortimer
It's not like it's impossible to do activism on this campus. It might be more work than other places, but it's worth giving a shot at, seeing where you fit into the scheme of things.
Nathan Schneider
(Former Tigers pitcher) Dave Mlicki made $6.2 million last year. This year he's making $750,000. Good. The problem isn't that he took a huge cut. The problem is he was never worth $6 million.
Doug Pappas
My wife was attacked and bitten on the beach four years ago. Even if a dog comes up playfully, she?s scared to death. I wish you would consider us. My wife is worth more to me than any dog that ever lived.
James Cahill
It's been money well spent. We're giving people their money's worth. Players want to play for exciting teams so we want free agents who want to sign here. That will make it so our fans see an entertaining team that wins more.
Bruce Urban
I jus think it's going to be a fun game. I think fans are going to get their money's worth.
Mark Keeler
(Research) is so meaningful and rewarding at this point I'm willing to withhold assumptions on where I'll end up. Maybe I'll find God. Maybe I'll find out science isn't for me. Maybe I'll go sit on a mountain and meditate. The ride will be worth it.
Matthew Gervais
We just ride, push each other. That's how we reach our goals. It takes a lot of practice. A lot of focus on it, but its worth is in the end when you stick a big trick.
Pat Morgan
We wanted to do more than send money. So we went and tore these people's homes down to the studs so they could have the insurers come in and see whether the house was worth rebuilding. But these people were rebuilding their lives.
Judy Renacia
Getting quick time on the second night is everything. The only thing worth getting on the second night is first or second.
Jason Meyers
There may not be a solution, but we've got like $200,000 worth of overtime in this budget and it looks to me like there would be some way we could knock some of that out. If we could, it might eliminate having to do away with people, or at least some of them. Maybe there's not a way, but that just looks like a ton of overtime.
John Burnett
Any writer worth the name is always getting into one thing or getting out of another thing.
Fannie Hurst
The worth of the state, in the long run, is the worth of the individuals composing it.
John Stuart Mill
It is the lives we encounter that make life worth living.
Guy De Maupassant
The individual investor should act consistently as an investor and not as a speculator. This means... that he should be able to justify every purchase he makes and each price he pays by impersonal, objective reasoning that satisfies him that he is getting more than his money's worth for his purchase.
Benjamin Graham
Sometimes, you have to give credit where it's due and, certainly, the young man threw the ball OK. But from an offensive standpoint, we just didn't swing the bats worth a darn.
Lloyd Mcclendon
Seeing a kid that they said couldn't make it, make it is wonderful. Just to see them smile is worth it. We are making dreams come true.
Cedric Payton
That alone has been worth every penny of the coaching cost. My time-management skills are much more improved. When you start coaching you have a 90-day lag period between when you start working on your plan and when you see actual results.
Jason Mickey
It's a lot of work and a lot of hours that we put in, but when you look in the faces of the babies we are saving, it makes it all worth it.
Lisa Wright
I think you could say at least in some cases this is just good business judgment. At some point the district may conclude the effort required is not worth the potential of the return.
Gordon Macinnes
You don't have a filing requirement because you don't have a tax due. But if you had withholding, you've paid tax. It's worth your while to file a return to get your money back.
Mark Luscombe
Its total refurbishment will be £250,000, but the property could be worth £1million when complete.
Stephen White
The judge decided not to name a substitute president. With 48 hours to go to the congress, and considering the situation, it wasn't worth it to name someone for this ceremony.
Hein Verbruggen
AOL customers bought $2.5 billion worth of goods last year. What that means is a lot of transactions went through AOL.

The SCOOTER Store actively is appealing denied claims worth millions of dollars in Medicare reimbursements for power wheelchairs already delivered that were prescribed by patients' personal physicians.
Mike Pfister
Corporate is requiring a complete remodel in my store, and by the time it is all said and done, it will cost $50,000-plus. And, quite frankly, it is not worth putting more good money after bad.
Mike Perko
It's quite an honor. We had a successful year all the way around, football and basketball. We were really just one shot away from being in Austin. It's gonna bug me until, hopefully, we're able to go past that point. Then it'll all be worth it.
Shae Sanford
It's worth it though. It's not forever.
Corschika Henry
When you're going through it it's hard. But everything's hard that's worth it.

They have established a very good brand, but is it worth any money?
Pat Comack
If kids come out of this remembering one thing, just something, then it could help save one life and that makes it all worth it.
Tim Sutton
The true measure of your worth includes all the benefits others have gained from your success.
Cullen Hightower
Winning the City League championship is important, but we look at the state playoffs as well. When we step outside the City, we want to prove our worth outside of the league.
Marco Corona
We have a special community that's worth taking care of.
Andy Stewart
Next to God, we are indebted to women, first for life itself, and then for making it worth having.
Christian Nevell Bovee
This paper shows that it's worth the effort to clone an embryo and make a stem cell line because it should be useful for therapy.
Tobias Brambrink
Is it worth it? That's a personal question. What's worth it to me may not be worth something to you.
Dedric Wilkins
If another bidder comes in the stakes could be raised on TWA to where AMR doesn't think it's worth it.
Robert Milmore
If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples; even though some of them still look down on me.
Saint Patrick
The healthcare business, on its own, would probably be worth in the mid-teens -- $14 to $16 a share depending on how much debt they put into the company. For the sum of the parts, I'd put the value at $36 to $38 a share.
Peter Sorrentino
It happens very rarely, but when it happens it's worth waiting for, that the instrument becomes part of your body.
Jack Brymer
An acre of performance is worth a whole world of promise.
William Dean Howells
Fear comes from uncertainty. When we are absolutely certain, whether of our worth or worthlessness, we are almost impervious to fear.
William Congreve
Cemeteries are interesting. They're worth visiting and they're worth studying. If we take the time to listen to what the stories might tell us, we have a lot to learn.
Richard Veit
Honestly, we still need to work with various commissions and through the administration ... It's not something that current freshmen will see most likely until their junior or senior year. But, it still is something definitely worth pursuing.
Katelyn Keefe
We're beginning to get backed into a corner. It's something worth trying.
Terry Chapin
I think most of them just consider it an irritation. We've got students who will rack up $400 or $500 worth of tickets. There are people who don't think the rules apply to them or they can get away with it, or they got lucky in this spot last semester so they just keep going with it.
Casey Richardson
My theme is this: Is it worth it to get out there a month early when I want to pitch 10 more years? I only want to go through this once in my life.
Randy Wolf
There are two great forces in this world - good and evil; and no man is worth his salt unless he has lost and won battle for a principle.
A. P. Gouthey
A house of which one knew every room wasn't worth living in.
Giuseppe Tomasi Di Lampedusa
As you get the higher levels you always hear about the funnel system. A lot of guys get in and it's a funnel system all the way to the top. They weed them out. You get your good players at the top and there's nowhere for anybody to move. It's just part of the game. It can be discouraging. But you have to take it for what it's worth.
Jason Perry
There is no short cut to achievement. Life requires thorough preparation -- veneer isn't worth anything.
George Washington Carver
The big question is looking at the cost of all this. Is it worth making the changes or retiring old cars? The cost of this could be well over $2 million.
Candace Smith
Whereas in art nothing worth doing can be done without genius, in science even a very moderate capacity can contribute to a supreme achievement.
Bertrand Russell
The third-quarter and nine-months revenues not only illustrate the balance Lehman Brothers has achieved among its equity, fixed income and investment banking businesses, but also show the financial and strategic potential of new businesses the firm has been building, including private equity and high-net-worth activities.
Richard Fuld
For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the-not-worth-knowing.
H. L. Mencken
There are three Academy boys in the whole squad - Mark Easter, Dylan Hartley and Alex Rae - in their first year, and they are proving their worth already.
Budge Pountney
Greenspan's views have tremendous value. It's hard to imagine that's not worth a lot of money to someone.
Kevin Harrington
I've come in a little more focused than last year. The first two weeks of last season were pretty bad. I wanted to come in and throw like I was toward the end of the season. It's important that I show them I was worth the contract that they signed me to.
