It is vain to expect virtue from women till they are, in some degree, independent of men ... Whilst they are absolutely dependent ...on their husbands they will be cunning, mean, and selfish, and the men who can be gratified by the fawning fondness of spaniel-like affection, have not much delicacy, for love is not to be bought, in any sense of the words, its silken wings are instantly shrivelled up when any thing beside a return in kind is sought.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

Then again, do not tell me, as a good man did to-day, of my obligation to put all poor men in good situations. Are they my poor? I... tell thee, thou foolish philanthropist, that I grudge the dollar, the dime, the cent I give to such men as do not belong to me and to whom I do not belong. There is a class of persons to whom by all spiritual affinity I am bought and sold; for them I will go to prison if need be; but your miscellaneous popular charities; the education at college of fools; the building of meetinghouses to the vain end to which many now stand; alms to sots, and the thousand-fold Relief Societies;Mthough I confess with shame I sometimes succumb and give the dollar, it is a wicked dollar, which by and by I shall have the manhood to withhold.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

We are for aiding our allies by sharing some of our material blessings with those nations which share in our fundamental beliefs, ...but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism, all over the world. We set out to help 19 countries. We are helping 107. We spent $146 billion. With that money, we bought a 2-million-dollar yacht for Haile Selassie. We bought dress suits for Greek undertakers, extra wives for Kenya government officials. We bought a thousand TV sets for a place where they have no electricity.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

One who knew how to appropriate the true value of this world would be the poorest man in it. The poor rich man! all he has is what... he has bought.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is not quite safe to send out a venture in this kind, unless yourself go supercargo. Where a man goes, there he is; but the sli...ghtest virtue is immovable,--it is real estate, not personal; who would keep it, must consent to be bought and sold with it.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Walter Neff: I'm crazy about you, baby. Phyllis Dietrichson: I'm crazy about you, Walter.... Walter Neff: That perfume on your hair, what's the name of it? Phyllis Dietrichson: I don't know. I bought it in Ensenada.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
