Buying Quotes (page 19)

John Ruskin quote: "If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying."
If a book is worth reading, it is worth buying. John Ruskin
Merely because I was black, it seemed, I was supposed to listen to Hugh Maskela instead of Carole King, just as I was expected to be a radical, not a conservative. I no longer cared to play that game ... The black people I knew came from different places and backgrounds - social, economic, even ethnic - yet the color of our skin was somehow supposed to make us identical in spite of our differences. I didn't buy it. Of course we had all experienced racism in one way or another, but that did... Clarence Thomas
Time is an equal opportunity employer. Each human being has exactly the same number of hours and minutes every day. Rich people can't buy more hours. Scientists can't invent new minutes. And you can't save time to spend it on another day. Even so, time is amazingly fair and forgiving. No matter how much time you've wasted in the past, you still have an entire tomorrow. Denis Waitley
Bob Marley quote: "Money can't buy life."
Money can't buy life. Bob Marley
Most of my friends are into strange things I don't really understand - and with a few shameful exceptions I wish them all well. Who am I, after all, to tell some friend he shouldn't change his name to Oliver High, get rid of his family, and join a Satanism cult in Seattle? Or to argue with another friend who wants to buy a single-shot Remington Fireball so he can go out and shoot cops from a safe distance? Hunter S. Thompson
We all agree it's too big to keep up with, that we're surrounded by life, that we'll never understand it, so we center it all in by swigging Scotch from the bottle and when it's empty I run out of the car and buy another one, period. Jack Kerouac
Those who had the remaining jobs would have to buy the cheapest stuff possible with their drastically reduced wages, and in order for the manufacturers to keep that stuff cheap, it would have to be made by fifteen-year-olds in China. Michael Moore
Chuck Palahniuk quote: "A lot of young people try to impress the world and buy too..."
A lot of young people try to impress the world and buy too many things," the doorman said. Chuck Palahniuk
Somewhere, in a distant land he barely knew the name of, people had stopped buying washing machines, and so his city had died. Cory Doctorow
The great virtue of a free market system is that it does not care what color people are; it does not care what their religion is; it only cares whether they can produce something you want to buy. It is the most effective system we have discovered to enable people who hate one another to deal with one another and help one another. Milton Friedman
Therefore let us sell our labour for what it is worth. And if an industry cannot buy our labour, let that industry die. But let us not sell our labour cheap to keep an industry alive. Alan Paton
And if there come the singers and the dancers and the flute players, buy of their gifts also.For they too are gatherers of fruit and frankincense, and that which they bring, though fashioned of dreams, is raiment and food for your soul. Khalil Gibran
I would not like it thought that I do not buy my own paperclips, sir. I enjoy owning my own paperclips. It means they are mine. Terry Prachett
But Noodynaady's actual ingrate tootle is of come into the garner mauve and thy nice are stores of morning and buy me a bunch of iodines. James Joyce
C. S. Lewis quote: "Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death..."
Remember that all worlds draw to an end and that noble death is a treasure which no one is too poor to buy. C. S. Lewis
