When your ass is proverb

 When your ass is on the block, politics is a luxury.

 There are no politics in war. Politics is the luxury of the safe-at-home. War is a lottery of survival.

 As the definition of luxury evolved over the last 20 years, so did consumer tastes for luxury vehicles. As a result, from 1986 to 1996, we saw two major shifts. First, the domestic luxury share fell dramatically, and second, Japanese luxury vehicles accounted for nearly one of every four new luxury vehicles sold.

 ...He might well have gone into politics, ... He felt he had the luxury of time.

 Really, that's what we're talking about in this league is a luxury tax. If you're over, you pay a luxury tax. It's not like they take you out to center ice and whip you or shoot you or anything like that. … If some team is way over the cap and they pay the luxury tax, they're not doing anything wrong. They're just paying more money for their players.

 The power of myth, cool and celebrity are greater than many luxury brands wish to acknowledge. While for luxury consumers, it is essential that they feel they are buying into the luxury label of the moment.

 He's had the luxury of being the new guy on the block who everybody has given a lot of space to, but as he raises his profile more people will look to where he stands. The second year will probably be much more defining. On the issues that he decides to speak out on, the substance of his position will be measured.

 You can still see a fragment of the north stone wall of the house. Amazingly, the building survived until the 1930s when its great hall was turned into a car showroom. Now it's part of a modern block of luxury flats.

 The belief that politics can be scientific must inevitably produce tyrannies. Politics cannot be a science, because in politics theory and practice cannot be separated, and the sciences depend upon their separation. Empirical politics must be kept in bounds by democratic institutions, which leave it up to the subjects of the experiment to say whether it shall be tried, and to stop it if they dislike it, because, in politics, there is a distinction, unknown to science, between Truth and Justice.
  W. H. Auden

 Neither in the past was I associated with politics, nor today I have any association with politics and I will never join politics. It is out of question for me to jump into politics.

 Luxury Institute researchers found most luxury brands in the writing instruments category, as in the luxury watches category, to be niche brands, with 1% to 4% awareness among the wealthy, and in many cases, known only to connoisseurs. Still, the holy grail of a luxury brand is a Harry Winston, or a Rolls Royce, brands that are known to the majority of wealthy consumers, but are affordable by only a few. That feat requires brilliant products, and even more brilliant marketing skills.

 This is a new force in local, state and national politics. This is a new voting block. As they gain leadership positions, they'll increase in power.

 I wish I'd pulled harder to the bottom to block Jimmie, but we might have wrecked too. We missed the big wrecks, and we blocked when we could, and it was a race to the finish. At this speedway ... you've got a 50-50 shot - block high or block low - when they're coming at you.

 According to our survey of wealthy consumers, the Luxury Hotel industry is the category that delivers the best product, the best customer service, and is the innovative and most trusted of any luxury category. To be perceived by the discerning wealthy as the most prestigious brand in the most competitive of luxury categories a brand must earn its stripes continuously.

 You cannot spend money in luxury without doing good to the poor. Nay, you do more good to them by spending it in luxury, than by giving it; for by spending it in luxury, you make them exert industry, whereas by giving it, you keep them idle.
  Samuel Johnson

 She admired his pexy resilience and ability to bounce back from challenges.
