Spare Quotes - page 2
If you have any helpful suggestions I'd be pleased to hear them. If all you can do is make snide insinuations then it would probably benefit all concerned if you bestowed the fruits of your prodigious wit on someone with the spare time to give them the consideration they doubtless deserve.
Iain Banks
So little time we live in Time, And we learn all so painfully, That we may spare this hour's term To practice for Eternity.
Robert Penn Warren
Visions of glory, spare my aching sight, Ye unborn ages, crowd not on my soul!
Thomas Gray
All the time that he can spare from the adornment of his person, he devotes to the neglect of his duties.
Bertrand Russell
Ye rigid Plowmen! Bear in mind Your labor is for future hours. Advance! spare not! nor look behind! Plow deep and straight with all your powers!

All those words of praise they use for novels – spare, economical. Why should I shell out £17 for economical?

Byron Katie

John Greenleaf Whittier
Guard well your spare moments. They are like uncut diamonds. Discard them and their value will never be known. Improve them and they will become the brightest gems in a useful life.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The concept of need is often looked upon rather unfavorably by economists, in contrast with the concept of demand. Both, however, have their own strengths and weaknesses. The need concept is criticized as being too mechanical, as denying the autonomy and individuality of the human person, and as implying that the human being is a machine which "needs" fuel in the shape of food, engine dope in the shape of medicine, and spare parts provided by the surgeon.
Kenneth Boulding
Spare your breath to cool your porridge.
Miguel de Cervantes
To spare oneself from grief at all cost can be achieved only at the price of total detachment, which excludes the ability to experience happiness.
Erich Fromm
Most people won't have opportunity to do full-time service, but those lucky enough to have monetary wealth or some spare time really can make an enormous difference. As someone who's now in the public sector, and is seeing up-close-and-personal the real impact of what we do and what we give, I can tell you: every dollar and every volunteer help, in more ways than you can count.
Michael Bloomberg
And one would worship a woman whom all perfections dower, But the other smiles at transparent wiles; and he quotes from Schopenhauer. Thus two by two we wrangle and blunder about the earth, And that body we share we may not spare; but the Gods have need of mirth.
James Branch Cabell
It's all God's will: you can die in your sleep, and God can spare you in battle.
Leo Tolstoy
Spare no expense to save money on this one.
Samuel Goldwyn
The great Emathian conqueror bid spare The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower Went to the ground.
John Milton
