Famous quotes containing the words luxury and/or goods:
“Good-night to the Season!—the dances,
The fillings of hot little rooms,
The glancings of rapturous glances,
The fancyings of fancy costumes;
The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
The luxury of looking at beauties,
The tedium of talking to mutes;”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (1802–1839)
“When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Ecclesiastes 5:11.
