“Ask thy purse what thou shouldst spend”
Scottish Proverb
“Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, / But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; / For the apparel oft proclaims the man.”
William Shakespeare
“Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man, And they in France of the best rank and station Are of a most select and generous chief in that”
“Ere fancy you consult, consult your purse”
Benjamin Franklin
“I don't like big purses, it's too much like a bag lady. I'm all about keeping my purse little.”
Carol Neumann
“A large train makes a light Purse.”
“What we couldn't accept was the new mandatory spending under this bill, which would open the federal purse to developers, ... Reforming the law should not be a euphemism for gutting the law, and that's exactly what the bill would do.”
Sherwood Boehlert
