As to the rout
that is made about people who are ruined by extravagance, it
is no matter to the nation that some individuals suffer.
When so much general productive exertion is the consequence
of luxury, the nation does not care though there are
debtors; nay, they would not care though their creditors
were there too.
-- Samuel Johnson
1709-1784, British Author
I get so tired
listening to one million dollars here, one million dollars
there, it's so petty.
-- Imelda Marcos
1929-, Philippines First Lady
My candle
burns at both ends; it will not last the night; but ah, my
foes, and oh, my friends -- it gives a lovely light!
-- Edna St. Vincent Millay
1892-1950, American Poet
Where there is
no extravagance there is no love, and where there is no love
there is no understanding.
