If we did not have a sense of who we were, how we got here, why we want to achieve something – which, on the face of it, on the logic of it, is probably not worth trying – and prove that logic wrong, then you wouldn’t succeed; then you would just evaporate.
If it’s a penny for your thoughts and you put in your two cents worth, then someone, somewhere is making a penny.
Public hangings are teaching moments. Every company has to do it. A teaching moment is worth a thousand CEO speeches. CEOs can talk and blab each day about culture, but the employees all know who the jerks are. They could name the jerks for you. It’s just cultural. People just don’t want to do it.
I don’t pretend we have all the answers. But the questions are certainly worth thinking about.
Some of the money going to the rookies can now be spent on people who have proved their worth. After all, the average playing life of a pro football player is about eight years and it is only fitting that the veterans get something for their efforts.
As long as I’m still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don’t see that it would be worth retiring.

There is not a single injustice in Northern Ireland that is worth the loss of a single British soldier or a single Irish citizen either.
If you can’t eat it, can’t sleep under it, can’t wear it or make something from it, it’s not worth anything.
What makes life worth living? Better surely, to yield to the stain of suicide blood in me and seek forgetfulness in the embrace of cold dark death.
One of the great tragedies I see is people not putting every effort into the foundation of their marriage. My grandmother told me that it’s one man and one woman for life and that your marriage is worth fighting for.
There are MAYBE 30 years worth of ideas out there… watch for the feature version of ER in about 25 years… Hollywood has become hopelessly chained to the bottom line.
What I am most proud of is the legacy of hope that FIFA and football leaves around the world. It makes all of the efforts and energy I pour into this job worth it.
Time is money, as they say, and it was never more apropos than on a television show, where a minute is worth about $200!
When people see the Cubevision logo, they should know it’s something good, something worth checking out.
Nobody’s going to write a book about me, because nobody’s going to find anything worth writing a book about.
Map out your future – but do it in pencil. The road ahead is as long as you make it. Make it worth the trip.
Does that mean we should give up? Probably. But there are two issues worth considering. The first is – is it really true that drugs destroy the integrity of the game?
No one worth possessing can be quite possessed.
I think it’s an oversimplification of somebody’s worth to ‘cancel’ them. We’re so quick to cancel but also so quick to lift somebody up as ‘the queen,’ ‘the mom,’ ‘the dad,’ ‘the god.’
Anything worth doing good takes a little chaos.
I have to have a character worth caring about. I tend not to start writing books about people I don’t have a lot of sympathy for because I’m just going to be with them too long.
I’d say I get heckled quite a lot because I look quite like an easy target. If you’re an alpha-male and you think you’ve got something to prove to your girlfriend, I think I’m the perfect person to prove your worth.
No amount of success is worth it to me if I can’t share it with someone I love.
In the sick room, ten cents’ worth of human understanding equals ten dollars’ worth of medical science.
If you want to have a life that is worth living, a life that expresses your deepest feelings and emotions and cares and dreams, you have to fight for it.
The way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.
‘Short Term 12’ was such a marathon. It’s like trying to convey the same emotional depth as ‘The Gambler’ but with less time and a fingernail’s worth of the budget.
Every four weeks I go up a bra size… it’s worth being pregnant just for the breasts.
I don’t think any day is worth living without thinking about what you’re going to eat next at all times.

A born poet knows in his cradle that a poetic life is the only life worth living.
Our net worth is ultimately defined not by dollars but rather by how well we serve others.
Nothing is worth doing unless the consequences may be serious.
Some makeup companies have really good recycling policies, and it’s worth finding out whether your favourites are among them. With MAC, for instance, you can take any of your old makeup containers into its shops, and the sweetest deal is that, once you’ve racked up six containers, you get a free lipstick or lip gloss.
That’s been one of my mantras – focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it’s worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.
It’s worth pointing out that conflicts between racially oppressed people often result from the fact that colonialism worked on divide and rule. Certain ethnic, religious, racial or indigenous groups were deliberately privileged over others in order to create a sense of investment in upholding the power structure.
How much is an hour of your time worth? It’s worth whatever wage you would get if you spent that hour working. If you work for an hourly rate, this is an easy calculation. Even if you work for a salary and a fixed number of hours, the principle is the same: It’s whatever your salary works out to per hour.
Tattoos, cornrows, headbands, hip-hop. I never meant to start any trends. I got my butt kicked, but if that meant that the guys who came after me could be themselves, then it was worth it.
I know that a lot of my life is spent thinking about crisps and eating crisps and hating myself for eating crisps. It’s just not worth it. Or it wouldn’t be if crisps weren’t so delicious.
It’s obvious, but perhaps worth saying, that happiness has virtually nothing to do with the state of your intellect.
Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.
Resentments and grudges are two of the main culprits that perpetuate cycles of self-abuse and victimhood. Stowed away inside you like parasites, they deplete you of your God-given life force and separate you from your inherent worth, your joy, and the love in your heart.
I want to tell stories powerful people don’t want you to tell. It’s not worth getting out of bed otherwise.
When I see something that I know that’s worth something, I go after it.
Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.
Worth seeing? Yes; but not worth going to see.

An aim in life is the only fortune worth finding.
I hate facts. I always say the chief end of man is to form general propositions – adding that no general proposition is worth a damn.
I had a couple of million dollars’ worth of… stock once. And now it’s not worth much more than wallpaper. I guess I just wasn’t born to be rich.
Personal success or personal satisfaction are not worth another thought if one does achieve them, or worth worrying about if they evade one or are slow in coming. All that is really worth while is action – faithful action, for the world, and in God.
Namely the manager will assess what he believes a player is worth and he will discuss that with the board and then we will go after that target. If we can achieve it at that target, great, but if we can’t we will have to move on to the next player.
It’s really not that hard. If I do a Tonight Show, it’s six or seven minutes. If I do a concert, it’s 90 minutes. If I do an interview, that’s 15 minutes. So by the end of the day I’ve done three hours worth of work.
Nobody really needs a painting. It’s something you kind of create value for in a way that you don’t with a company. It’s an act of collective faith what an object is worth. Maintaining that value system is part of what a dealer does, not just making a transaction but making sure that important art feels important.
Children born with Down Syndrome are not vegetables, nor are their lives demonstrably not worth living.
I know that no business contract, no order or commercial consideration can ever be worth the happiness of one’s home or the peace of one’s mind.
Just because it’s bad doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.
My dad, Frank Addison Albini, was a terrific shot with a rifle and had generally excellent hunting skills. While my dad loved hunting and fishing, he didn’t romanticize them. He was filling the freezer, not intellectualizing some caveman impulse or proving his worth as a real man.
