Marriage, to women as to men, must be a luxury, not a necessity; an incident of life, not all of it. And the only possible way to accomplish this great change is to accord to women equal power in the making, shaping and controlling of the circumstances of life.
Susan Brownell Anthony Jacob
Luxury, nowadays, is ruinous. We criticize, but must conform, and superfluities in the end deprive us of necessities.
Pierre Ambroise Franois Choderlos de Laclos
Truth is too big a price to pay for the luxury of avoiding pain now and then.
Vanna Bonta
If a man have a strong faith he can indulge in the luxury of skepticism.
Friedrich Nietzsche
If it were not my purpose to combine barbarian things with things Hellenic, to traverse and civilize every continent, to search out the uttermost parts of land and sea, to push the bounds of Macedonia to the farthest Ocean, and to disseminate and shower the blessings of the Hellenic justice and peace over every nation, I should not be content to sit quietly in the luxury of idle power, but I should emulate the frugality of Diogenes. But as things are, forgive me Diogenes, that I imitate Herakles, and emulate Perseus, and follow in the footsteps of Dionysos, the divine author and progenitor of my family, and desire that victorious Hellenes should dance again in India and revive the memory of the Bacchic revels among the savage mountain tribes beyond the Kaukasos
Alexander III
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Coco Chanel
Now, at a certain time, in pleasant mood, He tried the luxury of doing good.
George Crabbe
I think it is a great error to consider a heavy tax on wines as a tax on luxury. On the contrary, it is a tax on the health of our citizens.
Thomas Jefferson
When you are not physically starving, you have the luxury to realize psychic and emotional starvation.
Aaron Ostrom
Protection is the first necessity of opulence and luxury.
Joseph Conrad
Blest hour! it was a luxury to be!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Legionary life is beautiful, not because of riches, partying or the acquisition of luxury, but because of the noble comradeship which binds all Legionaries in a sacred brotherhood of struggle.
Corneliu Zelea Codreanu
The enemy is within the gates; it is with our own luxury, our own folly, our own criminality that we have to contend
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Wealth and poverty the one is the parent of luxury and indolence, and the other of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
Plato
Wealth and poverty: the one is the parent of luxury and indolence, and the other of meanness and viciousness, and both of discontent.
Plato
