I am a technological activist. I have a political agenda. I am in favor of basic human rights: to free speech to use any information and technology to purchase and use recreational drugs to enjoy and purchase so-called 'vices' to be free of intruders and to privacy.

Now a lot of what we are doing right now quite frankly is because of what happened on Christmas. Many of the things were kind of in the works. We were already planning for example the purchase and deployment of advanced imaging technology. You call them body scanners. We call them AITs (Advanced Imaging Technologies).

From this process has emerged a parallel process of translating traditional working and living values into a new political and economic power - a power increasingly based upon the strength of money and those material things money can purchase.

To protect people's lives and keep our children safe we must implement public-works spending and do so proudly. If possible I'd like to see the Bank of Japan purchase all of the construction bonds that we need to issue to cover the cost. That would also forcefully circulate money in the market. That would be positive for the economy too.

The mystic purchases a moment of exhilaration with a lifetime of confusion and the confusion is infectious and destructive. It is confusing and destructive to try and explain anything in terms of anything else poetry in terms of psychology.

Peace is purchased from strength. It's not purchased from weakness or unilateral retreats.

Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.

No one knows his true character until he has run out of gas purchased something on the installment plan and raised an adolescent.

We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds.

Labor was the first price the original purchase - money that was paid for all things.

The day water sun moon night - I do not have to purchase these things with money.

The civility which money will purchase is rarely extended to those who have none.

Labour was the first price the original purchase - money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver but by labour that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.

I think my first big purchase was actually for my mom. She had one of those '90s TVs in her living room that's like a 10x10 brick so I purchased her a flatscreen for her living room.

Buy with your heart not your head. You can look at all the aspects that make a purchase practical but that kind of thinking makes it an investment rather than a home.

If Obamacare is allowed to stand - and Congress is allowed to make the purchase of government-endorsed health insurance compulsory - there will be no meaningful limit on Washington's reach into the lives of the American people. That is certainly not what the Founders intended.

By the Obama administration's reasoning it would be constitutionally permissible to make Americans purchase nearly any product (broccoli gym membership) that improved their health and thereby contributed to lower health-care costs.

The Supreme Court has never ruled that Congress can use the Commerce Clause to require individuals to engage in an activity they have chosen to avoid. Yet that is precisely what Obamacare does: It forces Americans without health insurance to purchase coverage. Such a requirement is unprecedented and unconstitutional.

I don't think healthcare's a right. The only right you have is the ability to go out on an even playing field and work and then purchase health insurance or whatever it is.

What happiness is there which is not purchased with more or less of pain?

Now an infinite happiness cannot be purchased by any price less than that which is infinite in value and infinity of merit can only result from a nature that is infinitely divine or perfect.

The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

The future is purchased by the present.
