    Vladimir Nabokov (2017). “Lectures on Russian Literature”, p.313, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt
  • We are apt to consider that invention is the result of spontaneous action of some heavenborn genius, whose advent we must patiently wait for, but cannot artificially produce. It is unquestionable, however, that education, legal enactments, and general social conditions have a stupendous influence on the development of the originative faculty present in a nation and determine whether it shall be a fountain of new ideas or become simply a purchaser from others of ready-made inventions.

  • When self-interest inclines a man to print, he should consider that the purchaser expects a pennyworth for his penny, and has reason to asperse his honesty if he finds himself deceived.

    Honesty   Book   Men  
    William Shenstone (1804). “Essays on Men and Manners”, p.15
  • The basis of bureaucratic rule is the poverty of society in objects of consumption, with the resulting struggle of each against all. When there is enough goods in a store, the purchasers can come whenever they want to. When there is little goods, the purchasers are compelled to stand in line. When the lines are very long, it is necessary to appoint a policeman to keep order. Such is the starting point of the power of the Soviet bureaucracy. It "knows" who is to get something and who has to wait.

    Struggle   Order   Long  
    Leon Trotsky, (2013). “The Revolution Betrayed”, p.88, Read Books Ltd
  • Library books were, I suddenly realized, promiscuous, ready to lie down in the arms of anyone who asked. Not like bookstore books, which married their purchasers, or were brokered for marriages to others.

    Lying   Book   Library  
  • I have heard of a man who had a mind to sell his house, and therefore carried a piece of brick in his pocket, which he shewed as a pattern to encourage purchasers.

    Home   Men   House  
    'The Drapier's Letters' (1724) no. 2 (4 August 1724)
  • Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.

    Warren Buffett (2009). “Warren Buffett on Business: Principles from the Sage of Omaha”, p.167, John Wiley & Sons
  • Not to be covetous, is money; not to be a purchaser, is a revenue.

  • Everyone is a buyer, everyone's a potential purchaser and everyone's a potential vendor.

    National Press Club address| Q & A session, jbh.ministers.treasury.gov.au. September 18, 2013 - September 21, 2015.
  • Good things soon find a purchaser.

  • Mankind are more indebted to industry than ingenuity; the gods set up their favors at a price, and industry is the purchaser.

  • When goods are exchanged between countries, they must be paid for by commodities or gold. They cannot be paid for by the notes, certificates, and checks of the purchaser's country, since these are of value only in the country of issue.

    Country   Issues   Gold  
    Carroll Quigley (1966). “Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time”, New York : Macmillan [c1966]
  • Right now, a majority of the debt is owed to foreign interests, Japan being the largest purchaser of government debt today, soon to be surpassed by China as the number one purchaser of our debt in this Nation.

  • I think we can provide common-sense approaches to the issue of illegal guns that are ending up on the streets. We can make sure that criminals don't have guns in their hands. We can make certain that those who are mentally deranged are not getting a hold of handguns. We can trace guns that have been used in crimes to unscrupulous gun dealers that may be selling to straw purchasers and dumping them on the streets.

  • When two terms belong to the same category, it is proper to construct conjunctive propositions embodying them. Thus a purchaser may say that he bought a left-hand glove and a right- hand glove, but not that he bought a left-hand glove, a right- hand glove, and a pair of gloves. 'She came home in a flood of tears and a sedan-chair' is a well known joke based on the absurdity of conjoining terms of different types. Now the dogma of the Ghost in the Machine does just this. It maintains that there exist both bodies and minds.

    Home   Hands   Two  
    Gilbert Ryle (2015). “The Concept of Mind”, p.15, Lulu Press, Inc
  • There is much money given to be laughed at, though the purchasers don't know it; witness A.'s fine horse, and B.'s fine house.

    Horse   Vanity   House  
  • The homestead policy was established only after long and earnest resistance; experience proves its wisdom. The lands in the hands of industrious settlers, whose labor creates wealth and contributes to the public resources, are worth more to the United States than if they had been reserved as a solitude for future purchasers.

    Hands   Land   Long  
    Andrew Johnson (1967). “The Papers of Andrew Johnson: September 1865-January 1866”, p.476, Univ. of Tennessee Press
  • Some false representations contravene the law; some do not. ... The sensibilities of no two men are the same. Some would refuse to sell property without carefully explaining all about its merits and defects, and putting themselves in the purchasers' place and inquiring if he himself would buy under the circumstances. But such men never would be prosperous merchants.

    Men   Law   Two  
    Clarence Darrow (2015). “The Story of My Life”, p.84, Lulu.com
  • It is not the lowest priced goods that are always the cheapest - the quality is, or ought to be as much an object with the purchaser, as the price.

    Quality   Goods   Ought  
    George Washington, Stephen Lucas (1999). “The Quotable George Washington: The Wisdom of an American Patriot”, p.10, Rowman & Littlefield
  • What motivates most gold purchasers is their belief that the ranks of the fearful will grow. During the past decade that belief has proved correct. Beyond that, the rising price has on its own generated additional buying enthusiasm, attracting purchasers who see the rise as validating an investment thesis. As 'bandwagon' investors join any party, they create their own truth - for a while.

    "Treasury commitee struggles to hide scorn over Osborne's Help to Buy plan" by Nils Pratley, www.theguardian.com. April 19, 2013.
  • Health care costs are on the rise because the consumers are not involved in the decision-making process. Most health care costs are covered by third parties. And therefore, the actual user of health care is not the purchaser of health care. And there's no market forces involved with health care.

    George W. Bush ate the third Presidential Debate in Tempe, Arizona, www.washingtonpost.com. October 13, 2004.
  • People buy their necessities in shops and have to pay dearly for them because they have to assist in paying for what is also on sale there but only rarely finds purchasers: the luxury and amusement goods. So it is that luxury continually imposes a tax on the simple people who have to do without it.

    Friedrich Nietzsche, R. J. Hollingdale (1996). “Nietzsche: Human, All Too Human: A Book for Free Spirits”, p.370, Cambridge University Press

  • But even in the absence of direct interference by those who had the power to interfere, the process was usually aborted by the non-availability of one of more elements of the process - the accumulated stock in a money form, the labor-power to be utilized by the producer, the network of distributors, the consumers who were purchasers. One or more elements were missing because, in previous historical social systems, one or more of these elements was not commodified or was insufficiently commodified.

  • Observation over many years has taught us that the chief losses to investors come from the purchase of low-quality securities at times of good business conditions. The purchasers view the good current earnings as equivalent to 'earning power' and assume that prosperity is equivalent to safety.

  • If you expect to be a net saver during the next 5 years, should you hope for a higher or lower stock market during that period? Many investors get this one wrong. Even though they are going to be net buyers of stocks for many years to come, they are elated when stock prices rise and depressed when they fall. This reaction makes no sense. Only those who will be sellers of equities in the near future should be happy at seeing stocks rise. Prospective purchasers should much prefer sinking prices.
