Consumption Set

Famous quotes containing the words consumption and/or set:

“The Landlord is a gentleman ... who does not earn his wealth. He has a host of agents and clerks that receive for him. He does not even take the trouble to spend his wealth. He has a host of people around him to do the actual spending. He never sees it until he comes to enjoy it. His sole function, his chief pride, is the stately consumption of wealth produced by others.”
—David Lloyd George (1863–1945)

“I can add colors to the chameleon,
Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
