Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy. If parsimony were to be considered as one of the kinds of that virtue, there is, however, another and a higher economy. Economy is a distinctive virtue, and consists not in saving, but in selection.
Edmund Burke
Image
Ecology's implications for capitalism are too momentous for the capitalist to contemplate. The plutocrats are more wedded to their wealth than to the Earth upon which they live, more concerned with the fate of their fortunes than with the fate of humanity. The present ecological crisis has been created by the few at the expense of the many.
Michael Parenti
Image
Human beings belong to some minor comity or enclave of faith at the expense of the clarity and autarkia of their intelligence and conscience, of course. Belonging is another way of saying: capitulating to.
Kenny Smith
Image
I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I don't think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths.
Jimmy Carter
Image
In truth, the care and expense of our fathers aims only at furnishing our heads with knowledge of judgement and virtue, little news.
Michel de Montaigne
Image
I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense.
Leon Battista Alberti
Image
We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not us to degrade other countries...I want the freedom of my country so that other countries may learn something from my free country so that the resources of my country might be utilized for the benefit of mankind.
Lal Bahadur Shastri
Image
We need to aggressively take on radical Islamic terrorism but not at the expense of our American values.
Joe Biden
Image
[Trade licensing] almost inevitably becomes a tool in the hands of a special producer group to maintain a monopoly position at the expense of the rest of the public. There is no way to avoid this result.
Milton Friedman
Image
Science is a way to pursue one's sense of inquiry at the expense of the State.
Lev Artsimovich
Image
Suicides pay the world a bad compliment. Indeed, it may so happen that the world has been beforehand with them in incivility. Granted. Even then the retaliation is at their own expense.
Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann
Image
[I]t is true that [the provisions of the Bill of Rights] were designed to meet ancient evils. But they are the same kind of human evils that have emerged from century to century whenever excessive power is sought by the few at the expense of the many.
Hugo Black
Image
I have no patience for anyone who thinks they've figured things out, no patience for people who think they're right at the expense of everyone else. The world is too connected and too complicated to conform to any of our rigid ideas of what it should be like.
Moby
Image
Doing too much for others (often at their own expense), many persons are more 'human doings' than human beings.
Louise Hart
Image
The whole people must take upon themselves the education of the whole people, and must be willing to bear the expenses of it. There should not be a district of one mile square, without a school in it, not founded by a charitable individual, but maintained at the public expense of the people themselves.
John Adams
Image
We now have a global community that calculates how to maximize the benefits for a few at the expense of the majority.
Irene Fernandez
Image
The state has typically been a device for producing affluence for a few at the expense of many.
Murray Rothbard
Image
Once we considered education a public expense we know now that it is a public investment.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Image
Extremism. It is an almost infallible sign — a kind of death-rattle — when a human institution is forced by its members into stressing those and only those factors which are identificatory, at the expense of others which it necessarily shares with competing institutions because human beings belong to all of them.
John Brunner
Image
Put no inscription over the grave, except the date of my birth and my death and, wherever I am buried, let the funeral be perfectly private, with as few persons attending, and as little show and expense as possible.
Isaac Butt
Image
Loving money at the expense of others is an abuse of power to get wealth.
Myles Munroe
Image
To be safe at the expense of the liberty of other people is a difficult equation.
Madeleine Albright
Image
We must have design in a picture even at the expense of truth. You are using nature for your artistic needs.
John F. Carlson
Image
The truly greedy, it seems to me, are those who think they've a right to live well at the expense of others.
