O leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree. — © Thomas Campbell
O leave this barren spot to me! Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree.
Woodman, spare that tree! Touch not a single bough! In youth it sheltered me, And I'll protect it now.
A big, studly football jock like me? I got plenty of blood to spare. For you, I have anything to spare.

The Great Commission will not be fulfilled with our spare time or spare money.
Trade is nothing else but a Commutation of Superfluities; for instance: I give mine, what I can spare, for somewhat of yours, which I want, and you can spare.
Spare time is like spare change. It's hard to quantify, the definition of that phrase. What do I do when I'm not onstage singing, or sleeping, with or without someone else? I watch movies.
A lady once offered me a mat, but as I had no room to spare within the house, nor time to spare within or without to shake it, I declined it, preferring to wipe my feet on the sod before my door. It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil.
People ask me what I do in my spare time, and I look at them blankly, truly believing that I don't even have spare time, and if I did, I'd probably use it for something mundane, like chipping away at the mound of laundry rising to dangerous proportions in the back room.
So break me to small parts, let go in small doses, but spare some for spare parts.

Why didn't I buy a new phone earlier? Why don't I always walk around with a spare phone? It should be the law, like having a spare tire.
Investors have few spare tires left. Think of the image of a car on a bumpy road to an uncertain destination that has already used up its spare tire. The cash reserves of people have been eaten up by the recent market volatility.
Spare me therefore, your good intentions, your inner sensitivities, your unarticulated and unexpressed love. And spare me also these tedious psycho-historians which, by exposing the goodness inside the bad man, and the evil in the good-invariably establish a vulgar and perverse egalitarianism, as if the arrangement of what is outside and what inside makes no moral difference.
I arrange flowers in my spare time. Well, when I have spare time, that is.
I had to do things to myself on the page that had been done to me in real life. I had to try and drown myself in the bath. You have to do that.
