Famous quotes containing the word spends:

“In love, there is always one who kisses and one who offers the cheek.”
—French proverb.
George Bernard Shaw adapted this proverb in Heartbreak House, act 2: One turns the cheek: the other kisses it. One provides the cash: the other spends it.
“If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if the town had no interest in its forests but to cut them down!”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
