Possessions, outward success, publicity, luxury--to me these have always been contemptible. I believe that a simple and unassuming manner of life is best for every one, best for both the body and the mind.
Albert Einstein
The greatest luxury of riches is, that they enable you to escape so much good advice.
Arthur Helps
Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in the world.
Cesare Pavese
One must be poor to know the luxury of giving.
George Eliot
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
Charlie Chaplin
On the soft bed of luxury most kingdoms have expired.
Edward Young
Blest hour! It was a luxury--to be!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
When I'm living in the world of luxury and celebrity, which is where I found myself for a large part of my life, it's a walk-on part. Not a vital necessity, like it is for so many people. I enjoy it but I can see right through it!
Agnetha Faltskog
Utility is when you have one telephone, luxury is when you have two, opulence is when you have three - and paradise is when you have none
Doug Larson
The ultimate of being successful is the luxury of giving yourself the time to do what you want to do
Leontyne Price
As to the rout that is made about people who are ruined by extravagance, it is no matter to the nation that some individuals suffer. When so much general productive exertion is the consequence of luxury, the nation does not care though there are debtors; nay, they would not care though their creditors were there too.
Samuel Johnson
Sincerity is the luxury allowed, like diadems and authority, only to the highest rank. . . . Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins.
