There's no such thing as a free lunch, unless you have a coupon for a free lunch...or someone gives you a lunch...never mind.

John Adams

It is said that there's no such thing as a free lunch. But the universe is the ultimate free lunch.

Stephen Hawking

In the financial world it tends to be misleading to state, "There is no free lunch." Rather the more meaningful comment is, "Somebody has to pay for lunch."

Martin J. Whitman

My father always said 'There's no free lunch.' My father was right. There's no free lunch and there's no free market. The market is rigged, the market is always rigged, and the rigging is in favour of the people who run the market. That's what the market is. It's a bent casino. The house always wins.

David Hare

Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can, however, determine who pays for lunch. And last week the Senate handed the bill to the wrong party... the poor and middle class.

Warren Buffett

We need to claim lunch back. It is our natural right. It has been stolen from us by our rulers. The fear that keeps you chained to your desk, staring at your screen, does not serve your spirit. Lunch is a time to forget about being sensible, practical, efficient. A proper lunch should be spiritually as well as physically nourishing. Cosy, convivial, a treat; lunch is for loafers.

Tom Hodgkinson

Nature provides a free lunch, but only if we control our appetites.

William Ruckelshaus

A completely free library is as rare as a truly free lunch.

Tom Peters

Immigrants used to come to America seeking freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom from government. Now they come looking for free health care, free education, and a free lunch.

Harry Browne

You can always judge a man by what he eats, and therefore a country in which there is no free lunch is no longer a free country.

Arthur Baer

I've been pounding the table here for a year or so saying there's no free lunch, and there is going to be a day of reckoning for every company that thinks they are going to try and sell a free model.

Darl McBride

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch.

Robert A. Heinlein

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Milton Friedman

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Barry Commoner

When you listen to tax-cut rhetoric, remember that giving one class of taxpayer a break requires - now or down the line - that an equivalent burden be imposed on other parties. In other words, if I get a break, someone else pays. Government can't deliver a free lunch to the country as a whole. It can however, determine who pays for lunch.

Warren Buffett

Everything is connected to everything else. Everything must go somewhere. Nature knows best. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
