“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
“Life every man holds dear; but the dear man holds honor far more precious than life”
William Shakespeare
“That would cost precious seconds because those calls would then be routed to Dane County because we are the only ones that have a dispatch center that can dispatch fire and ambulance service throughout the county.”
Lesley Sillaman
“Nothing is more difficult, and therefore more precious, than to be able to decide.”
Napoleon Bonaparte
“Sweet are the uses of adversity; Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, Wears yet a precious jewel in his head”
“Good listeners, like precious gems, are to be treasured”
Walter Anderson
“It's the most precious thing...to know absolutely where you belong. There's a whole emotional wrapping-around-of-you-here. You see the same rock, tree, road, clouds, sun – you develop a nice kind of intimacy with the world around you. To be intimate is to grow, to learn... [it] is absolutely fulfilling. Intimacy, that's my magic word for why I live here.”
