A Quote by Jane Goodall

We're the ones who can make a difference. If we lead lives where we consciously leave the lightest possible ecological footprints, if we buy the things that are ethical for us to buy and don't buy the things that are not, we can change the world overnight.

We've been trained to spend money since we were born with all these commercials with toys and G.I. Joes and Transformers. But there's so many things in the supermarket, there's so many things on television that automatically, when you turn it on, are saying, 'Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy! Buy!'

Donald Faison

Money is not the most important thing, but when you need it, there are few substitutes. So while I like the things money can buy, I love what money won't buy. It bought me a house but it won't buy me a home. It would buy me a companion but it won't buy me a friend.

Clarence Francis

I always buy something to make myself motivated. It's good to feel that you can buy something and motivate yourself. That's what I do, just buy stuff. I like to buy something new and then record.

Kool Keith

Only buy things that make your heart sing. If I don't love it, I won't buy it.

Stacy London

Buy, buy, buy, buy! They want to grab you and trap you and turn you into little Elizabeth Hurleys.

Typically, we make money when we buy things. We count the profits later, but we know we have captured them when we buy the bargain.

Seth Klarman

That's one thing about me: I'm not greedy. I buy things for my friends if I buy them for myself. I make sure my friend's rent is paid.

Lil' Kim

I don't buy things now, I buy plane tickets. The only thing I want is to make enough money to be able to travel with my children.

Oona Chaplin

Our economy is based on spending billions to persuade people that happiness is buying things, and then insisting that the only way to have a viable economy is to make things for people to buy so they’ll have jobs and get enough money to buy things.
