Famous quotes containing the word spend:
“When they are not at war they do a little hunting, but spend most of their time in idleness, sleeping and eating. The strongest and most warlike do nothing.

Strange inconsistency of temperament, which makes the same men lovers of sloth and haters of tranquility.”
—Tacitus (c. 55–c. 120)
“One cannot spend one’s time in being modern when there are so many more important things to be.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“No one
Shall hunger: Man shall spend equally.
Our goal which we compel: Man shall be man.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
