I only type every third night. I have no plan. My mind is a blank. I sit down. The typewriter gives me things I don't even know I'm working on. It's a free lunch. A free dinner. I don't know how long it is going to continue, but so far there is nothing easier than writing.

Charles Bukowski

There are no free lunches in life. You have to earn it. I am paying my dues. People have accused me of having it easy because I am Amitabh Bachchan's son. Yes, I am his son, and I've never run away from it. I work hard to make him proud.

Abhishek Bachchan

The small businessman is smart; he realizes there's no free lunch. On the other hand, he knows where to go to get a good inexpensive sandwich.

Adam Osborne

What I'm not saying is that all government spending is bad. It's not - far, far from it, but there is no free lunch, as a former colleague of mine used to say. There is no public tooth fairy. Father Christmas does not work on the Treasury staff this year. You can never bail someone out of trouble without putting someone else into trouble.

Arthur Laffer

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Barry Commoner

The beauty of diversification is it's about as close as you can get to a free lunch in investing.

Barry Ritholtz

I only type every third night. I have no plan. My mind is a blank. I sit down. The typewriter gives me things I don't even know I'm working on. It's a free lunch. A free dinner. I don't know how long it is going to continue, but so far there is nothing easier than writing.

Charles Bukowski

It is true that from a behavioral economics perspective we are fallible, easily confused, not that smart, and often irrational. We are more like Homer Simpson than Superman. So from this perspective it is rather depressing. But at the same time there is also a silver lining. There are free lunches!

Dan Ariely

We must explain the truth: There is no free lunch.

Grace Napolitano

You learn as you grow up, if you're intelligent - or even three-quarter witted - that there's no free lunch. You pay for things in various ways. Living, loving, everything else is a matter of the same principles: you learn to work with what you have.

Iris Apfel

There's no such thing as a free lunch, at least on the karmic level.

Joan D. Vinge

There is no free lunch, so if you're playing with the big train set - on big movies - it's a lot of money they're entrusting you with, and you have to get that money back for them. I don't take that responsibility lightly.

Jon Favreau

Some of the free lunch programs were still goin' on - based on the last leg of the Black Panther Party.

Kool Moe Dee

There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Milton Friedman

Basically if you study entrepreneurs, there is a misnomer: People think that entrepreneurs take risk, and they get rewarded because they take risk. In reality entrepreneurs do everything they can to minimize risk. They are not interested in taking risk. They want free lunches and they go after free lunches.

Mohnish Pabrai

'There are no easy pickings.' That would be a more accurate, less dramatic statement than 'There's no such thing as a free lunch.'

Paul Samuelson

The public is looking for free lunches, and the political competition for votes makes the politicians offer them free lunches.

Robert Mundell

Generally speaking, we get the joke. We know that the free market is nonsense. We know that the whole point is to game the system, to beat the market or at least find someone who will pay you a lot of money, 'cause they're convinced that there is a free lunch.

Ron Bloom

Don't be gullible, use life before it uses you. Understand there are no free lunches, and for every action you take, there's a reaction.

Sylvester Stallone

I've been lucky to do the job I do because I've travelled, and that's probably the best perk of the job... well, that and the free lunches.
