William Shakespeare

“If time be of all things the most precious, wasting time must be the greatest prodigality.”
Benjamin Franklin
“A radical is a prodigal son. For him, the world is a strange place whose contours have to be explored according to one's destiny. He may eventually return to the house of his elders, but the return is by choice, and not, as of those who stayed behind, of unblinking filial obedience.”
Daniel Bell
“Bankrupt of life, yet prodigal of ease”
John Dryden
“The prodigal box had returned wrapped in a dish towel as a wedding gift.”
