Worth
 
I know my price; I am worth no worse a place.
        Shakespeare.—Othello, Act I. Scene 1. (Iago to Roderigo.)		  1
This mournful truth is every where confess’d,
Slow rises worth, by poverty depress’d.
        Dr. Johnson.—London, Line 176.		  2
And very wisely would lay forth
No more upon it than ’twas worth.
        Butler.—Hudibras, Part I. Canto I. Line 491.		  3
For what is worth in any thing,
But so much money as ’twill bring?
        Butler.—Hudibras, Part II. Canto I. Line 465.		  4
What’s aught but as ’tis valued?
        Shakespeare.—Troilus and Cressida, Act II. Scene 2. (Troilus to Hector.)		  5
