Quotations regarding 'Value'

Lascelles Abercrombie, British Poet (1881-1938)
You can't walk alone. Many have given the illusion, but none have really walked alone. Man is not made that way. Each man is bedded in his people, their history, their culture, and their values.
Peter Abrahams, South African Novelist (1919- )
Age acquires no value save through thought and discipline.
James Truslow Adams, American Historian (1878-1949)
I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.

Maybe there's a chance to get back to grown-up films. Anything that uses humor and dramatic values to deal with human emotions and gets down to what people are to people.
Robert Altman, American Director (1925-2006)
In my professional work with the Agency, by the late '70s, I had come to question the value of a great deal of what we were doing, in terms of the intelligence agency's impact on American policy.

Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values.

John Anderson, -
I've been lucky. I've met a lot of baseball people, and I've learned to value people who talk - people who talk well and in long sentences and even long paragraphs.
Roger Angell, American Writer (1920- )
National markets are held together by shared values and confidence in certain minimum standards. But in the new global market, people do not yet have that confidence.
Kofi Annan, Statesman (1938- )
We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization.
Kofi Annan, Statesman (1938- )
We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike.
David Ansen, -
I'm a grown-up now, and I value the training I had.
Christina Applegate, American Actress (1971- )
The ultimate value of life depends upon awareness and the power of contemplation rather than upon mere survival.
