“It is not merely the likeness which is precious... but the association and the sense of nearness involved in the thing... the fact of the very shadow of the person lying there fixed forever! It is the very sanctification of portraits I think -- and it is not at all monstrous in me to say that I would rather have such a memorial of one I dearly loved, than the noblest Artist's work ever produced.”
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
“More than half of the caves are not protected by the system, including some very precious ones.”

“If we're not willing to take care of this precious commodity, then who are we, why are we and what are we doing? I don't want to preside over a wake.”
Larry Stillman
“Anyone still not yet on board the secular bull market in precious metals are being left in the dust.”
Peter Grandich
“I have to tell them that victories are very, very precious in the SEC, ... I'm not fibbing a bit when I say I'd be thrilled to have a one-point victory. Even if it was 3-2, I could probably swallow that.”
Mark Richt
“A prophetic word is the most precious word that comes from the mouth of God as we hold on tight to our faith and to His word without a disbelief in our situation until it's manifested.”

“I have three precious things which I hold fast and prize. The first is gentleness; the second is frugality; the third is humility, which keeps me from putting myself before others. Be gentle and you can be bold; be frugal and you can be liberal; avoid putting yourself before others and you can become a leader among men.”
Lao Tzu
