“Luxury may possibly contribute to give bread to the poor; but if there were no luxury, there would be no poor.”
Henry Home
“Extravagance is the luxury of the poor; penury is the luxury of the rich”
Oscar Wilde
“One must be poor to know the luxury of giving”
George Eliot
“[In a city so poor that a T-shirt is considered a luxury item, many of those attending his launch rally had painted the initials of his party - the Congress for Democratic Change - on their bare torsos. Others, noting the shirt numbers he used to wear in his prime, saw fate at work. For Milan, Weah sported the number nine, for his country it was always number 14. Add the figures together and they make 23. On Oct 11, Liberians will elect their 23rd president.] As I look into your faces tonight, I see that I am your future, ... As I look into your faces tonight I see that I am your destiny. I see that your dream will be fulfilled.”
George Weah
“You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.”
Samuel Johnson
“There is luxury in self reproach. When we blame ourselves, we feel no one else has a right to blame us.”
“A sentimentalist is simply one who desires to have the luxury of an emotion without paying for it”
