Material Things Quotes

Material goods consist of useful material things, and of all rights to hold, or use, or derive benefits from material things, or to receive them at a future time. Alfred Marshall
There is no such thing as material covetousness. All covetousness is spiritual. ...Any so-called material thing that you want is merely a symbol: you want it not for itself, but because it will content your spirit for the moment. Mark Twain
I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one's life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important. David Rockefeller
To me, all creativity is magic. Ideas start out in the empty void of your head - and they end up as a material thing, like a book you can hold in your hand. That is the magical process. It's an alchemical thing. Yes, we do get the gold out of it but that's not the most important thing. It's the work itself. Alan Moore
I personally don't believe in aliens. But, I do believe that there is something out there that is accountable for all these mysterious things that are going on: I think it is a spiritual thing not a material thing. J. T. Walsh
From this new and intimate perspective, she learned a simple, obvious thing she had always known, and everyone knew; that a person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn, not easily mended. Ian Mcewan

Don't depend on other people to be responsible for you. Don't make yourself stressed out over nonsensical things like material things. Eartha Kitt
Ian Mcewan quote: "A person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and..."
A person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and not easily mended. Ian Mcewan
Men are more evanescent than pictures, yet one sorrows for lost friends, and pictures are my friends. I have none others. I am never long enough with men to attach myself to them; and whatever feelings of attachment I have are to material things. John Ruskin
Virginia Woolf quote: "Intellectual freedom depends upon material things."
Intellectual freedom depends upon material things. Virginia Woolf
Self-mortification, far from producing liberation from material things, is far more likely to cause either an unhinged mind, delusions or a masochistic taste for more suffering, experienced, of course, as joy. Idries Shah
Mitch Albom quote: "You can't substitute material things for love or for..."
You can't substitute material things for love or for gentleness or for tenderness or for a sense of comradeship Mitch Albom
Too much and too long, we seem to have surrendered community excellence and community values in the mere accumulation of material things. Robert Kennedy
It is a kind of pride to insist that none of our prayers should ever be petitions for our own needs: for this is only another subtle way of trying to put ourselves on the same plane as God? acting as if we had no needs, as if we were not creatures, not dependent on Him and dependent, by His will, on material things, too. Thomas Merton
