Famous quotes containing the word profit:

    “If a man suffers ill, let it be without shame; for this is the only profit when we are dead. You will never say a good word about deeds that are evil and disgraceful.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    “And in this too profit begets profit.”
    —Aeschylus (525–456 B.C.)

    “All schools, all colleges, have two great functions; to confer, and to conceal, valuable knowledge. The theological knowledge which they conceal cannot justly be regarded as less valuable than that which they reveal. That is, when a man is buying a basket of strawberries it can profit him to know that the bottom half of it is rotten.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
