Sunk Cost Investments

Famous quotes containing the words sunk, cost and/or investments:

    Your hair may be brushed, but your mind’s untidy,
    You’ve had about seven hours’ sleep since Friday,
    No wonder you feel that lost sensation;
    You’re sunk from a riot of relaxation.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)

    The true reformer does not want time, nor money, nor coöperation, nor advice. What is time but the stuff delay is made of? And depend upon it, our virtue will not live on the interest of our money. He expects no income, but outgoes; so soon as we begin to count the cost, the cost begins. And as for advice, the information floating in the atmosphere of society is as evanescent and unserviceable to him as gossamer for clubs of Hercules.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    In youth, love and art. In age, investments and antiques.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
