Purchase

Famous quotes containing the word purchase:

“Riches are valuable at all times, and to all men; because they always purchase pleasures, such as men are accustomed to, and desire: Nor can any thing restrain or regulate the love of money, but a sense of honour and virtue; which, if it be not nearly equal at all times, will naturally abound most in ages of knowledge and refinement.”
—David Hume (1711–1776)

“How happy a thing were a wedding,
And a bedding,
If a man might purchase a wife
For a twelvemonth and a day;”
—Thomas Flatman (1637–1688)

“O, let us have him, for his silver hairs
Will purchase us a good opinion,
And buy men’s voices to commend our deeds.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
