Fritter Quotations
Someone who can write aphorisms should not fritter away his time in essays.
Karl Kraus
When you raise prices, you've got to make sure you get it to the bottom line. You can fritter it away because of the way you're running the business, with maybe not a totally disciplined approach.
Jim Cantalupo
This is all you have. This is not a dry run. This is your life. If you want to fritter it away with your fears, then you will fritter it away, but you won't get it back later.
Laura Schlessinger
