Costing Quotes (page 8)

We shall need all the anti-slavery feeling in the country, and more; you can go home and try to bring the people to your views, and you may say anything you like about me, if that will help... When the hour comes for dealing with slavery, I trust I will be willing to do my duty though it cost my life. Abraham Lincoln
Education is not confined to books, and the finest characters often graduate from no college, but make experience their master, and life their book. [Some care] only for the mental culture, and [are] in danger of over-studying, under the delusion . . . that learning must be had at all costs, forgetting that health and real wisdom are better. Louisa May Alcott
Remember: He WANTS your fellowship, and He has done everything possible to make it a reality. He has forgiven your sins, at the cost of His own dear Son. He has given you His Word, and the priceless privilege of prayer and worship. Billy Graham
Margaret Atwood quote: "The CorpSeCorps always substituted rumour for action, if..."
The CorpSeCorps always substituted rumour for action, if action would cost them anything. They believed in the bottom line. Margaret Atwood
Each of us has something within us which won't be denied, even if it makes us scream aloud to die. We are what we are, that's all. Like the old Celtic legend of the bird with the thorn in its breast, singing its heart out and dying. Because it has to, its self-knowledge can't affect or change the outcome, can it? Everyone singing his own little song, convinced it's the most wonderful song the world has ever heard. Don't you see? We create our own thorns, and never stop to count the cost. All... Colleen McCullough
Winston Churchill quote: "No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism."
No folly is more costly than the folly of intolerant idealism. Winston Churchill
And in truth (as I now see) I had the wish to put off my journey as long as I could. Not for any peril or labour it might cost; but because I could see nothing in the whole world for me to do once it was accomplished. AS long as this act lay before me, there was, as it were, some barrier between me and the dead desert which the rest of my life must be." pg.89 C. S. Lewis
The essential and defining characteristic of childhood is not the effortless merging of dream and reality, but only alienation. There are no words for childhood's dark turns and exhalations. A wise child recognizes it and submits to the necessary consequences. A child who counts the cost is a child no longer. Stephen King
I think it's relatively easy for people to accept something like telepathy or precognition or teleplasm because their willingness to believe doesn't cost them anything. It doesn't keep them awake nights. But the idea that the evil that men do lives after them is unsettling. Stephen King
John Steinbeck quote: "Anything that just costs money is cheap."
Anything that just costs money is cheap. John Steinbeck
William Shakespeare quote: "It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge."
It would cost you a groaning to take off my edge. William Shakespeare
Walter Cronkite quote: "Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap..."
Whatever the cost of our libraries, the price is cheap compared to that of an ignorant nation. Walter Cronkite
E. W. Howe quote: "One of the most difficult things in the world is to convince a..."
One of the most difficult things in the world is to convince a woman that even a bargain costs money. E. W. Howe
Nicholas Sparks quote: "Frugality, I've learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes..."
Frugality, I've learned, has its own cost, one that sometimes lasts forever. Nicholas Sparks
What I've learnt - to my cost - on several occasions in my life, is that people will put up with all manner of bad behaviour so long as you're giving them what they want. They'll laugh and get into it and enjoy the anecdotes and the craziness and the mayhem as long as you're going your job well, but the minute you're not, you're fucked. They'll wipe their hands of you without a second glance. Russell Brand
