worth (adj.)
Where, where was Roderick then?
One blast upon his bugle horn
Were worth a thousand men.
A day, an hour, of virtuous liberty
Is worth a whole eternity in bondage.
This mournful truth is ev'rywhere confess'd,—
Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd.
Her virtue and the conscience of her worth,
That would be woo'd, and not unsought be won.
Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.
For what is worth in anything
But so much money as 't will bring?
Worth makes the man, and want of it the fellow;
The rest is all but leather or prunello.
So much is a man worth as he esteems himself.
Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.
There buds the promise of celestial worth.
Fair Greece! sad relic of departed worth!
Immortal, though no more! though fallen, great!
This mournful truth is ev'rywhere confess'd,—
Slow rises worth by poverty depress'd.
Like stones of worth, they thinly placed are,
Or captain jewels in the carcanet.
Whatever day
Makes man a slave, takes half his worth away.
It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle.
Gratiano speaks an infinite deal of nothing, more than any man in all Venice. His reasons are as two grains of wheat hid in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
Softly sweet, in Lydian measures,
Soon he sooth'd his soul to pleasures.
War, he sung, is toil and trouble;
Honour but an empty bubble;
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying.
If all the world be worth the winning,
Think, oh think it worth enjoying:
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee.
I would that I were low laid in my grave:
I am not worth this coil that's made for me.
I know a trick worth two of that.
For it so falls out
That what we have we prize not to the worth
Whiles we enjoy it, but being lack'd and lost,
Why, then we rack the value; then we find
The virtue that possession would not show us
Whiles it was ours.
