A small room is enough; a small quantity of food is enough; a few clothes are enough; one lover, a very ordinary man

Rajneesh

Rich people buy luxuries last, while the poor and middle class tend to buy luxuries first.

Robert Kiyosaki

I want a room that I can definitely pack out. I don't want to sweat that part, "Am I gonna have enough people?" So I usually pick like a hundred, a relatively small room. Also, I'm looser in a small room. I don't want to record an album in front of a thousand people, not that I could draw a thousand, but I just want a room that I can really work back to front. That's just a very comfortable place for me to be loose.

Todd Barry

Hear me people: We have now to deal with another race - small and feeble when our fathers first met them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possession is a disease with them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break but the poor may not. They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.

Sitting Bull

We have no right to luxuries while the poor want bread.

Thomas Day

My Tris should look pale and small--she is pale and small, after all--but instead the room is full of her.

Veronica Roth

If we want to give poor people soap we must set out deliberately to give them luxuries. If we will not make them rich enough to be clean, then empathically we must do what we did with the saints. We must reverence them for being dirty.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

You look in my room and it looks neat enough, but if you dared to look under my bed or in my closet, oh what a mess!

Tamera Mowry

You look in my room and it looks neat enough but if you dared to look under my bed or in my closet, oh what a mess!

Tamera Mowry

You don't have to look poor, you don't have to look down; For money is a medium of exchange, and that's all; but it is not a mind regulator unless you allow it to be.

Charleszetta Waddles

Writing in my closet, it's a small space but it made a lot of room in my mind.

Amanda Shires

There's nothing like the energy in a small comedy club room or a small theater when it's going really well. I can see everybody's face practically in the whole room. There's no cameras in the way, and it's just me.

Drew Carey

I think a lot about Big Mind-Small Mind, expansive, wide-lens consciousness and contracted, introverted consciousness. I have moments-we all do-when just being alive is a pleasure and a miracle. They feel like moments when the shutters of the mind are open so I can look out. It also feels as if those same shutters have no hooks to fix them in an open position. One small wind and bang-they slam shut.

Sylvia Boorstein

I grew up pretty poor - not poor compared with people in India or Africa who are really poor, but poor enough so that the worry about money really cast a pall over your life a lot of the time.

Angus Deaton

Yes, Donald thinks big, which is especially important when considering the presidency of the United States. No room for small thinking. No room for small results. Donald gets things done.

Melania Trump

The necessaries of life occasion the great expense of the poor. They find it difficult to get food, and the greater part of their little revenue is spent in getting it. The luxuries and vanities of life occasion the principal expense of the rich, and a magnificent house embellishes and sets off to the best advantage all the other luxuries and vanities which they possess ... It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.

Adam Smith
