I regard this novel as a work without redeeming social value, unless it can be recycled as a cardboard box.
If we can reach populations in developing countries and help them understand the value of their indigenous diet and lifestyles rather than copying ours, perhaps we can reverse the exponential rise in cardiovascular disease that is plaguing them.
There are no Hallmark cards that define the next chapter, or the value of a history together.
I would say television is a focus, and expanding our channel platform is a focus. As for buying libraries, when catalogs are going down in value, the answer is that it's all about price!
I think part of what made the original 'Sufferfest' charming was the extremely low production value. It was all shaky handheld footage from Cedar.
For the standard of Christian life was to be strained to a higher pitch; more fasting was required, and more careful separation from the manners and enjoyments of the world; celibacy and martyrdom had great value set upon them, and second marriages were prohibited.

If we took Chaucer's writings at face value, we'd have to conclude he was a complete drip.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly; it is dearness only that gives everything its value.
There's value in checks and balances. And there's value in having independence in the governor's office with respect to the legislature.
I'll cheerfully confess to spending a lot of time playing completely disgusting computer games that have no redeeming social value.
I value my garden more for being full of blackbirds than of cherries, and very frankly give them fruit for their songs.
The chief value of money lies in the fact that one lives in a world in which it is overestimated.
Union members not only earn higher median wages; they are more likely to have paid sick leave, short-term disability, and employer-provided child care. Giving people a voice at work - the ability to organize and negotiate for their fair share of the value they helped create - is absolutely essential to a growing, vibrant middle class.
When someone chooses to value herself over the things she can buy, true transformation begins.
