Strive to make proposed solutions as self-executing as possible. As the degree of discretion increases, so too does bureaucracy, delay, and expense.
Donald Rumsfeld
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey "people." People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest....
C.S. Lewis
Avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt, not only by shunning occasions of expense, but by vigorous exertions in time of peace to discharge the debts which unavoidable wars have occasioned, not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen whic
George Washington
There`s good laughter and bad laughter. As long as they`re not laughing at the expense of any of these characters, it`s OK. My films are comedies, but they`re sad comedies and this is the saddest of all.
Todd Solondz
I love working and I feel satisfied when I know I have literally given all the energy that I have. That being said, work is not my No. 1 priority. I don`t think it can come at the expense of your family, your friends and your `significant other` if you ha...
Anne Hathaway
I really like comedy that brings people together. There`s a lot of comedies lately that have been at people`s expense or been kind of acidic or mean-spirited. And some folks like that, and I think there`s room for that, but that`s not my style. I like som...
Vince Vaughn
Style is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings, body and mood. And to be honest, I sometimes don`t spare neither trouble nor expense. Fortunately I can afford to do so now, but style doesn`t mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. ...
Sienna Miller
I don`t want to get involved in the racial situation at the expense of losing fans. I wouldn`t say anything too strong but I do know that God created us equal and we`re not living up to it.
Jayne Mansfield
I`m proud of the fact that I got so many people to sit down and watch a story like Before Night Falls even at the expense, I felt, of some of my personal life.
Javier Bardem
We`re not too far away from the point where we`re going to clash trying to share the Internet space. But we won`t try and break news at the expense of it being the lead story on the 11 o`clock news. They still reach a mass audience.
Mark Donovan
We`re not finished with the expenditures for the storm. We`re considering what we call polling the towns, which is when we go all night and take the snow out of the village, so that would be more expense.
Dan Ryan
We need a representative in Harrisburg who will stand for the hard-working citizens of Pennsylvania and not fatten his own pocketbook at the expense of ours.
Mark Harris
We made excellent progress in 2005 by improving our management of the distribution channel, reducing inventories throughout the supply chain and reducing our capital spending and ultimately depreciation expense.
Mark Thompson
We know the federal government ultimately will bear much of the expense. But it`s still too early to try to estimate what the overall costs will be and ... how the expenses will be handled.
Jennifer Harris
We cannot afford one more day in which the governor is preoccupied with these scandals at the expense of a focus on creating jobs, reforming education, and moving Ohio forward,

Today, energy prices are at historic highs. Some analysts estimate that energy price shocks this year could cost American consumers more than $40 billion. Speaking very frankly, we cannot afford this kind of expense.
Ali Lacey
This is when you open five or six different bank accounts, each one for a different expense such as a holiday or car. Each month, via direct debit or standing order, pay in a set amount to these accounts. Then, when you are ready for your summer holiday, ...
Martin Lewis
They will come to learn in the end, at their own expense, that it is better to endure competition for rich customers than to be invested with monopoly over impoverished customers.
Alex Ellis
There is no reason to pour any chemical into any kind of garden or agriculture. The planet did great without them for thousands of years until the chemical companies came along with marketing schemes to make money at our expense.
Aubrey Ireland
Contentment is a pearl of great price, and whoever procures it at the expense of ten thousand desires makes a wise and a happy purchase
