One of my favorite Wilde quotes is, "We live in an age when unnecessary things are our only necessities." One of my favorite sayings (I don't know who originally said this, but I'll try to find out because they certainly deserve applause for it) is, "Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without."
I always liked that too. I seem to recall it from a WWII homefront poster in the days of rationing. Please let me know if you find a source!
