Thrift Quotes - Page 5

• The ideal of having a real job that you risk your soul in and make good or be damned, belongs to the heroic age of capitalist enterprise, imbued with self-righteous beliefs about hard work, thrift, and public morals. Such an ideal might still have been mentioned in public fifty years ago; in our era of risk-insured semimonopolies and advertised vices it would be met with a ghastly stillness.

  Paul Goodman

• Peor aún, cuando este sensualismo se inmiscuye en la educación de las jóvenes, y marchita la esperanza y el afecto de la naturaleza humana, enseñando que el matrimonio no significa otra cosa que el ahorro de un ama de casa, y que la vida de la mujer no tiene otro fin.

• When a private citizen is robbed, a worthy man is deprived of the fruits of his industry and thrift; when the government is robbed, the worst that happens is that certain rogues and loafers have less money to play with than they had before.

• Hace dieciocho meses, cuando me presenté por primera vez ante ustedes, les llamé la atención, tan seria y seriamente como sabía, sobre lo que me parecían ser los peligros que se avecinaban, y en ese momento les insté a practicar las viejas virtudes del ahorro, de la honestidad, de la veracidad, de la industria, y así sucesivamente a través de la lista de las que nombré. Todo lo que dije entonces lo repito.

• La mezquindad hereda un juego de cubiertos y lo guarda en el banco. La economía sólo la utiliza en ocasiones importantes, por miedo a perderla. El Ahorro pone la mesa con ella todas las noches por puro placer, pero cuenta los untadores de mantequilla antes de guardarlos.

• It was part of a financial situation. I could only afford records in thrift stores. Then you could find wonderful things, but now everything is a collectible. I like the recycling idea --using the stuff that people don't want anymore, and make new music out of it. There was an element of looking back and listening to your parents' records and doing something with that stuff. Sort of acknowledging the past while rejecting it at the same time.

• Thrift is the really romantic thing; economy is more romantic than extravagance... thrift is poetic because it is creative; waste is unpoetic because it is waste... if a man could undertake to make use of all the things in his dustbin, he would be a broader genius than Shakespeare.
