Famous quotes containing the words domestic and/or spending:
“I am not naturally ... A bag of wind; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly to cut in future all my old ideas on this head. I dont think modesty pays. It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
“Keeping accounts, Sir, is of no use when a man is spending his own money, and has nobody to whom he is to account. You wont eat less beef today, because you have written down what it cost yesterday.”
—Samuel Johnson (17091784)
