Doug Larson
No people in history have ever survived who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies
Dean Acheson
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
Blest hour! It was a luxury--to be!
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
Like sending them ruffles, when wanting a shirt.
William Shakespeare
On the soft bed of luxury most kingdoms have expired.
Edward Young
The saddest thing I can imagine is to get used to luxury.
Charlie Chaplin
One must be poor to know the luxury of giving.
George Eliot
Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in the world.

The greatest luxury of riches is, that they enable you to escape so much good advice.
Arthur Helps
Most of the luxuries, and many of the so-called comforts of life, are not only indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.
Henry David Thoreau
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
All conservatives are such from personal defects. They have been effeminated by position or nature, born halt and blind, through LUXURY of their parents, and can only, like invalids, act on the defensive.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Anger is an expensive LUXURY in which only men of a certain income can indulge
St. Gregory The Great
