Chad has oil wells, so there are a few grand hotels for rich, who come to quickly take the money away before it ruins the charm of our mud and straw cities. ~ Daoud Hari
International Development quotes by Daoud Hari
He, like so many of them, came from that breed of international development experts unsparing in its love for all humanity but having no interest in people. ~ Zia Haider Rahman
International Development quotes by Zia Haider Rahman
I hear, 'But why do poor people make such bad decisions?' But actually, their decision-making can be far more complex than that of the better-off in many ways. They're not financially illiterate: they're constantly weighing up choices based on the reality of poverty. Somehow the international development community has resisted accepting this. ~ Ann Cotton
International Development quotes by Ann Cotton
The results you deserve depend on your will to make your success happen."

-Steven Cuoco ~ Steven Cuoco
International Development quotes by Steven Cuoco
The Scottish Government's international development work began in 2005 with a £3 million budget focused solely on Malawi, reflecting the historic links between our two countries. ~ Nicola Sturgeon
International Development quotes by Nicola Sturgeon
Although my seat is a contest between Labour and the Lib Dems, it could well make the difference between a Labour and a Tory government at the next election. In terms of international development, this choice is a very clear one. ~ Lucy Powell
International Development quotes by Lucy Powell
As for the third Official Reason: exposing Western Hypocrisy - how much more exposed can they be? Which decent human being on earth harbors any illusions about it? These are people whose histories are spongy with the blood of others. Colonialism, apartheid, slavery, ethnic cleansing, germ warfare, chemical weapons - they virtually invented it all. ~ Arundhati Roy
International Development quotes by Arundhati Roy
Is everything forbidden us except to fold our arms? Poverty is not written in the stars; under development is not one of God's mysterious designs. ~ Eduardo Galeano
International Development quotes by Eduardo Galeano
A lot of people respond to almost any achievement, positive development, or outright victory with "yes but". Naysaying becomes a habit. ~ Rebecca Solnit
International Development quotes by Rebecca Solnit
A consciousness of rectitude can be a terrible thing, and in those days I didn't just think that I was right: I thought that "we" (our group of International Socialists in particular) were being damn well proved right. If you have never yourself had the experience of feeling that you are yoked to the great steam engine of history, then allow me to inform you that the conviction is a very intoxicating one. ~ Christopher Hitchens
International Development quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Many signs point to the fact that the youth of the Third World will no longer tolerate living in circumstances that give them no hope for the future. From the young boys I met in the demobilization camps in Sierra Leone to the suicide bombers of Palestine and Chechnya, to the young terrorists who fly planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, we can no longer afford to ignore them. We have to take concrete steps to remove the causes of their rage, or we have to be prepared to suffer the consequences. ~ Romeo Dallaire
International Development quotes by Romeo Dallaire
A country that publicly threatens to completely destroy another nation should not be surprised when a preemptive surprise attack occurs from that nation and their allies. ~ Steven Magee
International Development quotes by Steven Magee
If a tree's strength is judged while it is still a seed, it is mistaken as weak. ~ Idowu Koyenikan
International Development quotes by Idowu Koyenikan
Introverts do better alone with competition, extraverts do better in large group without competition ~ Peter F. Drucker
International Development quotes by Peter F. Drucker
To learn why a country or society is developed or poor, don't study their financial condition but do a psychoanalysis of them. Most often, the development of a country or society depends on thoughts and ideas and not on their financial condition. ~ Debasish Mridha
International Development quotes by Debasish Mridha
To quiet the land. When there has been unspecific trauma on the land and residents feel the impact, it is possible to do a constellation to identify the trauma and ask blessing of the land To inform land use: reforestation, development of both the land and communities that interface with the land To inform architectural design: Identify locations for green spaces and test environmentally sound building materials To inform energy choices: passive solar, hydro, wind, alternative building practices To support real estate transactions- Why won't a place sell, supporting potential buyers to be able to look at properties in a systemic way To support environmentally based community action agencies Work with pets- both for veterinary practice and to ~ Francesca Boring
International Development quotes by Francesca Boring
The shoes of leadership have many ways to pinch and blister the feet of those who walk in them. But here's the thing, when we do walk in them despite the difficulties and challenges, our gait gradually changes from an ungainly, self-conscious toddle to a poised, purposeful stride that inspires trust in those who follow. ~ Jodi Detrick
International Development quotes by Jodi Detrick
I'm upset. There was nothing like putting on the red shirt.
(on retiring from international football) ~ Robbie Savage
International Development quotes by Robbie Savage
The governments and the communist parties in Vietnam and China are doing their best to develop their local economies. But the rise of countries in Asia is not in opposition to development and affluence in Western nations. It is a mutually beneficial development. The interests of Western investors are protected in our country. Both we and the West benefit from this in equal measure. ~ Nguyen Minh Triet
International Development quotes by Nguyen Minh Triet
I regard large inherited wealth as a misfortune, which merely serves to dull men's faculties. A man who possesses great wealth should, therefore, allow only a small portion to descend to his relatives. Even if he has children, I consider it a mistake to hand over to them considerable sums of money beyond what is necessary for their education. To do so merely encourages laziness and impedes the healthy development of the individual's capacity to make an independent position for himself. ~ Alfred Nobel
International Development quotes by Alfred Nobel
There are big surfing communities in every country with an ocean coast that I know in Central and South America. Same with Mexico, Bali, and nearly every island nation that gets waves in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. But that's a relatively recent development in most places. ~ William Finnegan
International Development quotes by William Finnegan
Peter Montiel has long set the highest standard for lucid textbooks on the macroeconomics of developing countries. Now in this new edition of his superb classic Macroeconomics in Emerging Markets, he has surpassed even himself. He uniquely fills the gap between rich-country-obsessed macro- and micro-obsessed developing-country analysis. No student of the macroeconomics of development will henceforward be able to do without this book. ~ William Easterly
International Development quotes by William Easterly
Leaders are made not born. They are the results of persistent effort. Thus, leadership involves much more than just shouting. Effective leadership requires a human focus and reflects a servant and transformation mentality. It is about the nuts and bolts of execution. Leadership is an everyday activity. It is a process that begins but never ends. ~ Vishwas Chavan
International Development quotes by Vishwas Chavan
Perhaps this sort of marriage, at the top echelons of Washington and international society, was made from different rules. Fidelity, honesty – perhaps these were quaint ideas better suited to less ambitious people. When one had the heights of the free world practically in one's grasp, maybe the bargain at the altar became more pragmatic. ~ Anne Michaud
International Development quotes by Anne  Michaud
Emotional intelligence is the foundation of leadership. It balances flexibility with toughness, vision with passion, compassion with justice. ~ Amit Ray
International Development quotes by Amit Ray
To call war the soil of courage and virtue is like calling debauchery the soil of love. ~ George Santayana
International Development quotes by George Santayana
If somebody has a property in the middle of a 7,000 job factory, as an example, that's going to move into the town - but they need this one corner of this property, and it's going to provide 7,000 jobs in a community that's dying, of which we have many in this country, OK? I am for that. That's a big economic development ~ Donald Trump
International Development quotes by Donald Trump
We can be hindered in our development and our personal growth by political conditions. Outer circumstances can constrain us. Only when we are free to develop our innate abilities can we live as free beings. But we are just as much determined by inner potential and outer opportunities as the Stone Age boy on the Rhine, the lion in Africa, or the apple tree in the garden. ~ Jostein Gaarder
International Development quotes by Jostein Gaarder
The key to becoming a proactive influence for music education is the development of a "dream list." It is more often referred to as a long-term plan. Do you know what you want your program to look like in the next five years? Ten years? Start now! ~ John Benham
International Development quotes by John Benham
Prayer may not change our outer circumstances but inwardly it can change everything ~ Renae A. Sauter
International Development quotes by Renae A. Sauter
So long as we trace the development from its final outcome backwards, the chain of events appears continuous, and we feel we have gained an insight which is completely satisfactory or even exhaustive. But if we proceed in the reverse way, if we start from the premises inferred from the analysis and try to follow these up to the final results, then we no longer get the impression of an inevitable sequence of events which could not have otherwise been determined. ~ Sigmund Freud
International Development quotes by Sigmund Freud
No tin-hat brigade of goose-stepping vigilantes or bibble-babbling mob of blackguarding and corporation paid scoundrels will prevent the onward march of labor, or divert its purpose to play its natural and rational part in the development of the economic, political and social life of our nation. ~ John L. Lewis
International Development quotes by John L. Lewis
The development of capitalism consists in everyone having the right to serve the consumer better or more cheaply. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
International Development quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Literacy unlocks the door to learning throughout life, is essential to development and health, and opens the way for democratic participation and active citizenship. ~ Kofi Annan
International Development quotes by Kofi Annan
the biggest room in this world is room for development. ~ Zack Bowman
International Development quotes by Zack Bowman
The key stone of Westem civilization is the sphere of spontaneous action it secures to the individual. There have always been attempts to curb the individuais initiative, but the power of the persecutors and inquisitors has not been absolute. It could not prevent the rise of Greek philosophy and its Roman offshoot or the development of modem science and philosophy. Driven by their inborn genius, pioneers have accomplished their work in spite of ali hostility and opposition. The innovator did not have to wait for invitation or order from anybody. He could step forward of his own accord and defy traditional teachings. In the orbit of ideas the West has by and large always enjoyed the blessings of freedom.
Then came the emancipation of the individual in the field of business, an achievement of that new branch of philosophy, economics. A free hand was given to the enterprising man who knew how to enrich his fellows by improving the methods of production. A horn of plenty was poured upon the common men by the capitalistic business principie of mass production for the satisfaction of the needs of the masses. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
International Development quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
Back then and later on when I was in NEU! and Harmonia I was too much preoccupied with my own music to be aware of the German music scene, let alone following it actively. But changes which were happening with S.o.S. (namely the development of individual ideas and the effort to distinguish from the Anglo- American rock patterns) also helped me recognize other musicians within my immediate vicinity. ~ Michael Rother
International Development quotes by Michael Rother
You Can See Russia From America!

There are two small Islands in the middle of the Bering Straits that are 2.4 miles apart, and have the "International Date Line" running between them. The larger Island to the west is Russian and is named Ratmanov Island. It is considered the last island in the far eastern reach of Asia.

Little Diomede Island or Ignaluk Island, belongs to Alaska and is the easternmost of the two islands. It is as far west as you can go before reaching the "International Date Line." Although the two islands are within easy sight of each other they are 24 hours apart, with one being in tomorrow and the other being in today. There are approximately 170, mostly Native Americans, living on the smaller American island.

During winter, an ice bridge usually spans the distance between these two islands, therefore there are times when it is possible to walk between the United States and Russia. This little stroll can be dangerous and is not advised; however at this location you can definitely see Russia from America. ~ Hank Bracker
International Development quotes by Hank Bracker
The collective benefits of higher education will not be asserted unless the public can be engaged in defining them. A student's future returns on his or her personal investment of time and money will seem more critical than the public benefits to be derived from ensuring that all students become people of character as well as of competence. An institution's prowess in potentially lucrative lines of scientific research will seem more essential to its mission than its participation in the development of an aesthetically engaged and broadly humane society. Unless there is public discussion that can help support the balancing of public and private priorities, colleges and universities will dance only to the private ambitions that ensure continuing high levels of enrollment and high ratings in the various surveys of satisfaction that give institutions a boost in national rankings. ~ Ellen Condliffe Lagemann
International Development quotes by Ellen Condliffe Lagemann
To leave a man's ego bigger, retweet him. To leave his faculty of reasoning better, challenge his tweet. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
International Development quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
By mental cultivation I mean a disciplined application of mind that involves deepening our familiarity with a chosen object or theme. Here I am thinking of the Sanskrit term bhavana, which connotes "cultivation," and whose Tibetan equivalent, gom, has the connotation of "familiarization." These two terms, often translated into English as meditation, refer to a whole range of mental practices and not just, as many suppose, to simple methods of relaxation. The original terms imply a process of cultivating familiarity with something, whether it is a habit, a way of seeing, or a way of being. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
International Development quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
The New Economy brings the need to tap people's curiosity, quest for knowledge and understanding, in order to develop a sustainable society. ~ Miguel Reynolds Brandao
International Development quotes by Miguel Reynolds Brandao
Hunted for sport by the rich, then driven from large tracts of its natural habitat by agricultural and housing development, the giant panda deserves better than to be scrubbed from conservation's ledger books through false accounting. ~ John Burnside
International Development quotes by John Burnside
The board directors see the development of strategy as a collective effort between themselves and management, rather than a question of "us versus them. ~ Pearl Zhu
International Development quotes by Pearl Zhu
I believe in God. In fact, I believe in a personal God who acts in and interacts with the creation. I believe that the observations about the orderliness of the physical universe, and the apparently exceptional fine-tuning of the conditions of the universe for the development of life suggest that an intelligent Creator is responsible. ~ William Daniel Phillips
International Development quotes by William Daniel Phillips
The fossil-fuel-based development model has not benefitted all people and those who have benefitted least are now suffering great harm in the face of climate change. ~ Mary Robinson
International Development quotes by Mary Robinson
Historically , when we look back to the development of science in all of its characteristics & dimensions; there is a huge difference between now and centuries ago that human beings were struggling with some diseases such as polio, cholera, typhoid fever and a dozen of contagious diseases that threatening human life. Nowadays if we can see healthy children and even people , we should be grateful about those scientists who brought health to us and give us the ability of controlling those horrible diseases in todays world. This kind of ability caused us to see health and happiness more than those times in human beings. Thanks god for those wonderful people. ~ Zahra Azari
International Development quotes by Zahra Azari
The international community and Israel have the same opinion regarding the Hamas government. We don't say we are going to boycott it forever. We say the Hamas government must abide by the obligations the Palestinian Authority has signed. ~ Moshe Katsav
International Development quotes by Moshe Katsav
Unbelievably, while many non-governmental organizations like Amnesty International and America's Watch have denounced the human rights situation in Cuba, there has been a continuing love affair on the part of the media and many intellectuals with Fidel Castro. ~ Armando Valladares
International Development quotes by Armando Valladares
There is in every child at every stage a new miracle of vigorous unfolding, which constitutes a new hope and a new responsibility for all. ~ Erik Erikson
International Development quotes by Erik Erikson
Shifting customer needs are common in today's marketplace. Businesses must be adaptive and responsive to change while delivering an exceptional customer experience to be competitive. Traditional development and delivery frameworks such as waterfall are often ineffective. In contrast, Scrum is a value-driven agile approach which incorporates adjustments based on regular and repeated customer and stakeholder feedback. And Scrum's built-in rapid response to change leads to substantial benefits such as fast time-to-market, higher satisfaction, and continuous improvement - which supports innovation and drives competitive advantage. ~ Scott M. Graffius
International Development quotes by Scott M. Graffius
Of course, all during my childhood, would-be saviors tried to rescue my fellow tribal members. They wanted to rescue me. But, even then, I could only laugh at their platitudes. In those days, the cultural conservatives thought that KISS and Black Sabbath were going to impede my moral development. They wanted to protect me from sex when I had already been raped. They wanted to protect me from evil though a future serial killer had already abused me. They wanted me to profess my love for God without considering that I was the child and grandchild of men and women who'd been sexually and physically abused by generations of clergy. ~ Sherman Alexie
International Development quotes by Sherman Alexie
We also support the exploration of alternative ways to deliver health care. Moving toward alternatives, including those provided by the private sector, is a natural development of our health care system. ~ Stephen Harper
