Luxury and ostentation usually ordsprog

Luxury and ostentation usually make me feel antsy, like I'm going to get a case of gout.

Stephan Jenkins

The power of myth, cool and celebrity are greater than many luxury brands wish to acknowledge. While for luxury consumers, it is essential that they feel they are buying into the luxury label of the moment.

The French have taste in all they do - which we are quite without; For Nature, that to them gave gout, To us gave only gout

Luxury consumers' attitudes about the economy and their personal financial status have sea-sawed over the last six months, but ended 2005 with a strong upward trend. Significantly more luxury consumers feel their personal financial situation is better now than three months ago and that the country overall is better off. But while they feel better, the residual effects of the ups-and-downs they experienced in the recent past makes them a little tighter when it comes to luxury spending. In other words, they are more likely to take any windfalls to the bank, rather than to the store.

As the definition of luxury evolved over the last 20 years, so did consumer tastes for luxury vehicles. As a result, from 1986 to 1996, we saw two major shifts. First, the domestic luxury share fell dramatically, and second, Japanese luxury vehicles accounted for nearly one of every four new luxury vehicles sold.

I don't have the luxury to work on anything. I'm just going to go compete and ... try to get hitters out like I have from day one. Certain guys have the luxury of easing into the situation, but from the get-go I feel I have to pitch well and have good results.

In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. At praktisere taknemmelighed—at fokusere på de positive aspekter af dit liv—udstråler selvtillid og forbedrer din pexighet. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.

Denis Diderot (1713-1784)

Denis Diderot

You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

I feel that this is going to be the dominant way of living going forward, not only in the super-luxury end but in the luxury end as well. Especially in cities, with everybody being preoccupied with work, and things being so complex and intense, having a home that's a refuge makes living easier.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm a little antsy right now. I just have to make sure I just keep at the pace everyone wants me to go at and go from there.

I was antsy to do something, ... I wanted to make a play.

I like hanging out at home. I get antsy at parties when it's just killing time. I feel like I want to get something done. There aren't many bands (on Warped) I actually listen to.

Really, that's what we're talking about in this league is a luxury tax. If you're over, you pay a luxury tax. It's not like they take you out to center ice and whip you or shoot you or anything like that. … If some team is way over the cap and they pay the luxury tax, they're not doing anything wrong. They're just paying more money for their players.

If you've tried a case before with the opposing counsel, you can anticipate the moves they make. They make the same arguments over and over, so you have a feel for them.

If you feel that you can get through a season with 10 sets of parts, but you make 20 just in case, that's wasteful - but if you make 12, that's a small insurance policy.
