Consumption Goods

Famous quotes containing the words consumption and/or goods:

    “There is held to be no surer test of civilisation than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognisable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilisation altogether.”

    “By right or wrong,
    Lands and goods go to the strong.
    Property will brutely draw

    And kind to kind.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
