Luxury! more perilous to youth than storms or quicksand, poverty or chains.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some people think luxury is the opposite of poverty. It is not. It is the opposite of vulgarity.
Poverty is uncomfortable; but nine times out of ten the best thing that can happen to a young man is to be tossed overboard and compelled to sink or swim.
The price of indulging yourself in your youth in the things you cannot afford is poverty and dependence in your old age.
Luxury is anything you don't need, right? I mean, you need food, water, clothing, shelter... but good wine, good food, beautiful interiors, nice clothes; those aren't necessities, they are luxuries - it's all luxury.
Youth is a silly, vapid state, Old age with fears and ills is rife; This simple boon I beg of Fate - A thousand years of Middle Life.
I am convinced that there can be luxury in simplicity.
Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit.
Luxury is a state of mind.
Luxury will be always around, no matter what happens in the world.
Youth is the best time to be rich, and the best time to be poor.
