Purchased experiences don't count.
Douglas Coupland

Why, all delights are vain, but that most vain Which, with pain purchased, doth inherit pain: As, painfully to pore upon a book, To seek the light of truth, which truth the while Doth falsely blind the eyesight of his look.
William Shakespeare
Image
So much value has been lost in the housing market that people are now buying. If there's any activity in the housing market, it's because values have plummeted to such depths that the 47% can now afford to live in a government-purchased house, or something like that.
Rush Limbaugh

William Shakespeare
Image
The future is purchased by the present.
Samuel Johnson

Our company has only been active in Beijing and Shanghai, two very market-dominated cities. This was an advantage. Land is purchased here in public auctions, in a transparent way. When you do real estate development outside Beijing and Shanghai it is good to have guanxi - good relations within the local government.

Steven Pressfield
Image
Everlasting life is a jewel of too great a value to be purchased by the wealth of this world.
Matthew Henry
Image
Evolutionary plasticity can be purchased only at the ruthlessly dear price of continuously sacrificing some individuals to death from unfavourable mutations. Bemoaning this imperfection of nature has, however, no place in a scientific treatment of this subject.
Theodosius Dobzhansky
Image
God wants the world to see what God can do with his purchased possessions. So he prunes you.
Max Lucado
Image
Friendship is to be purchased only by friendship. A man may have authority over others, but he can never have their hearts but by giving his own.
Thomas F. Wilson
Image
From the time I was 7, when I purchased my first calculator, I was fascinated by the idea of a machine that could compute things.
Michael Dell
Image
London and the south-east of England are very crowded spaces. Wherever a new runway is placed, thousands will be affected. Residents in nearby Longford, Harmondsworth and Sipson, which lie to the north of Heathrow, face having their homes compulsorily purchased for land to build the new runway.
Tim Bowler
Image
A state of mind is something that one assumes. It cannot be purchased, it must be created.
Napoleon Hill
Image
Either the phone is so seriously thin and flimsy that it is bendable with mere physical force, which I cannot believe given the extensive tests Apple would have done. Or -- and this is far more plausible -- somehow the energy and excitement of the 10 million people who purchased iPhones has awakened their mind powers and caused the phones to bend.
Uri Geller
Image
....for friendships that are acquired by a price and not by greatness and nobility of character are purchased but are not owned, and at the proper moment they cannot be spent.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Image
There is a certain artificial polish, a commonplace vivacity acquired by perpetually mingling in the beau monde which, in the commerce of world, supplies the place of natural suavity and good-humour, but is purchased at the expense of all original and sterling traits of character.
Washington Irving
Image
In the end, for me, the sole single goal is to write the best novel that I can. Whether or not it gets made or gets purchased.
Nicholas Sparks
Image
There are some poisons which, before they kill men, allay pain and diffuse a soothing sensation through the frame. We may recognize the hour of enjoyment they procure, but we must not separate it from the price at which it was purchased.
