I most earnestly beg you to spare no trouble or necessary expense in getting these.

Knox to a local officer while taking cannon to Boston.-McCullough pg 83Henry Knox
Americans are willing to go to enormous trouble and expense defending their principles with arms, very little trouble and expense advocating them with words. Temperamentally we are ready to die for certain principles (or, in the case of overripe adults, send youngsters to die), but we show little inclination to advertise the reasons for dying.

Will find a Tiger well repay the trouble and expense.Hilaire Belloc
When an acquaintance goes by I often step back from my window, not so much to spare him the effort of acknowledging me as to spare myself the embarrassment of seeing that he has not done so.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
Oh leave this barren spot to me!
Spare, woodman, spare the beechen tree!Thomas Campbell
Mere parsimony is not economy. Expense, and great expense, may be an essential part in true economy.
