Quote examples
P. T. Barnum
American Entertainer
Men, women, and children who cannot live on gravity alone need something to satisfy their gayer, lighter moods and hours, and he who ministers to this want is, in my opinion, in a business established by the Creator of our nature. If he worthily fulfills his mission and amuses without corrupting, he need never feel that he has lived in vain.
Quote examples
Lenny Abrahamson
Irish Director
I think, as directors, they may recognize, more than the rest of the body of filmmakers, exactly what you do as a director, because I think sometimes the conception is if the camera isn't swinging around, and it's not pyrotechnic or worthily melodramatic, then the direction is uninvolved.
Quote examples
Arthur Quiller-Couch
English Writer
By all means, let us study the great writers of the past for their own sakes, but let us study them for our guidance: that we, in our turn, having (it is to be hoped) something to say in our span of time, say it worthily, not dwindling out the large utterance of Shakespeare or of Burke.

American Clergyman
Faithfully obeying God's commandments is essential to receiving the Holy Ghost. We are reminded of this truth each week as we listen to the sacrament prayers and worthily partake of the bread and water.

Here is the rule to remember in the future, When anything tempts you to be bitter: not, 'This is a misfortune' but 'To bear this worthily is good fortune.

Samuel Lover
Irish Artist
The neck on which diamonds might have worthily sparkled, will look less tempting when the biting winter has hung icicles there for gems.

Frances Burney
English Novelist
To despise riches, may, indeed, be philosophic, but to dispense them worthily, must surely be more beneficial to mankind.
