Give us the luxuries of life, and we will dispense with its necessaries.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Give me the luxuries of life and I will willingly do without the necessities.
If we had only those things which are procured with ease and freedom from danger, we should find the comforts and luxuries, if not many of the necessaries of life, considerably diminished.
Life is given to us, we earn it by giving it.
Giving frees us from the familiar territory of our own needs by opening our mind to the unexplained worlds occupied by the needs of others.
Our necessities never equal our wants.
We want a world where life is preserved, and the quality of life is enriched for everybody, not only for the privileged.
We shall have to practise to lead our life on the basis of our needs, not under the influence of our greed.
Let us all be happy, and live within our means, even if we have to borrow the money to do it with.
Let's take care of the necessities first: give people jobs, and find a way to get us out of poverty.
I don't understand this pathetic need for luxuries.
