Many students graduate from college and professional schools, including those of social work, nursing, medicine, teaching and law, with crushing debt burdens. ~ Jon Porter
Social Work quotes by Jon Porter
Social work is an opportunity for huge hearts they remember to do small things. ~ Kishore Bansal
Social Work quotes by Kishore Bansal
We rarely hear about clients who come in and ask for the newest social worker. That's too bad because, to me, new social workers are a gift. ~ Danna R. Bodenheimer
Social Work quotes by Danna R. Bodenheimer
To hell with the society, I have all the comfort - to hell with nation, I have all the security - to hell with my neighbors, I have all the prosperity - to hell with the world, I have all the luxury. I am pain-stricken to say, such is the mentality of the majority of the human population, and that's why we still haven't succeeded in constructing a truly civilized and safe society on this planet. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Social Work quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I want to set the record straight."
"The record's never straight, you idiot! Haven't you ever read 1984? They rewrite the record anytime it doesn't suit them. You're spinning your wheels and exposing your bare fanny for nothing. ~ David Eddings
Social Work quotes by David Eddings
I work hard in social work, public relations, and raising the Grimaldi heirs. ~ Grace Kelly
Social Work quotes by Grace Kelly
But if we leave them alone, just satisfying ourselves with social work, economic work and the building up of a national army, it can make progress, hopefully within a short time. ~ Bulent Ecevit
Social Work quotes by Bulent Ecevit
Almost 30 years ago, I started seeking help from a counselor with a master's of social work in New York City, but we were never a good match. It was like being in a bad relationship, except the guy could actually bill my health insurance company for lousy dates. ~ Gina Barreca
Social Work quotes by Gina Barreca
Respect for human rights is not social work; it is not merely an act of compassion. It is the first obligation of government and the source of its legitimacy. ~ Ronald Reagan
Social Work quotes by Ronald Reagan
It was after an incident such as this that my friends and family decided something must be done. They gathered for a confabulation and, having established that secure psychiatric care was beyond their means, they turned in despair to the publishing industry, which has a long history of picking up where social work leaves off. ~ Mark Forsyth
Social Work quotes by Mark Forsyth
In committing an estimated 3,000 U.S. forces to join international Ebola relief efforts in West Africa, President Obama seems to be fulfilling the plans of highly influential progressive groups who seek to transform the American military into more of a social-work organization. ~ Aaron Klein
Social Work quotes by Aaron Klein
I remember when I was a young social worker, the first time I went to the state capital in Arizona, where I eventually served for seven years, I was so nervous to go and lobby my state legislators. Because I only had a master's degree at the time in social work. ~ Kyrsten Sinema
Social Work quotes by Kyrsten Sinema
How many times do we hear: 'Come on, you Christians, be a little bit more normal, like other people, be reasonable!' This is real snake charmer's talk: 'Come on, just be like this, okay? A little bit more normal, don't be so rigid ... ' But behind it is this: 'Don't come here with your stories, that God became man!' The Incarnation of the Word, that is the scandal behind all of this! We can do all the social work we want, and they will say: 'How great the Church is, it does such good social work. But if we say that we are doing it because those people are the flesh of Christ, then comes the scandal. And that is the truth, that is the revelation of Jesus: that presence of Jesus incarnate. ~ Pope Francis
Social Work quotes by Pope Francis
Because we often think of bias as a function of overt acts of bigotry, we can sometimes remain blind to the invisible structures, systems, and behaviors that bestow and reinforce that power and privilege on a daily basis. ~ Howard J. Ross
Social Work quotes by Howard J. Ross
I would say that social work began in my mind in the Unitarian Church when I was ten or twelve years old, and I started to do things that I thought would help other people. ~ Roger Nash Baldwin
Social Work quotes by Roger Nash Baldwin
The cloud-powered smartphone and tablet, as productivity tools, are transforming the world around us along with the implied changes in how we work to be mobile and more social. ~ Steven Sinofsky
Social Work quotes by Steven Sinofsky
...in order to achieve improved outcomes for families at risk, a paradigm shift is required so that unequal outcomes for families and children are seen as social injustices, rather than as products of individual dysfunction or deficit ~ Philip Slee
Social Work quotes by Philip Slee
They had this movie called Juno about a teenage girl who gets pregnant and it's nominated for an Oscar. That's an unusual experience for me, 'cause when a black girl gets pregnant it ain't no Oscar. It's social work and a box of condoms is what that is. ~ D. L. Hughley
Social Work quotes by D. L. Hughley
The surest thing I took away from my BSW, MSW, and Ph.D. in social work is this: Connection is why we're here. We are hardwired to connect with others, it's what gives purpose and meaning to our lives, and without it there is suffering. I wanted to develop research that explained the anatomy of connection. ~ Brene Brown
Social Work quotes by Brene Brown
While burnout obviously has something to do with stress, overdoing things, not being centred, and not listening to yourself or your body, one of the deepest contributors to burnout, I believe, is the deep disappointment of not living up to your true calling, which is to help. ~ Jenn Bruer
Social Work quotes by Jenn Bruer
I had begun what I thought might be a career in social work. I was married and deeply involved in the anti-war movement. I thought I'd go about saving the world one person at a time. I worked with kids, teenagers mostly, in neighborhood centers, on the streets, and eventually in a drop-in center. ~ John Dufresne
Social Work quotes by John Dufresne
Somewhere someone is waiting for our help. ~ Purushottam Kumar Suman
Social Work quotes by Purushottam Kumar Suman
Departing from Freud's exclusively verbal analysis, Reich studied the body as well as the mind, and he concluded after years of clinical observation and social work that signs of disturbed behavior could be detected in a patient's musculature, the slope of his posture, the shape of his jaw and mouth, his tight muscles, rigid bones, and other physical traits of a defensive or inhibiting nature. Reich identified this body rigidity as armor. ~ Gay Talese
Social Work quotes by Gay Talese
Shadowy mystery stalkers? Hidden escape hatches? Creepy subterranean tunnels? My mother tried to get me to take social work for my master's. I told her it was boring. I was so wrong. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Social Work quotes by Kelley Armstrong
The University of Southern California has a wonderful social work department, and I was thrilled to find out that they have a whole veterans' initiative program there. They approached me, and I set up a scholarship that would go to a military-oriented person to learn techniques and skills to better help veterans. ~ Gary Sinise
Social Work quotes by Gary Sinise
Slowly you may have transformed from a helper to one in need of help. It's important to talk about this, to identify the wounds you carry. ~ Jenn Bruer
Social Work quotes by Jenn Bruer
All stains of the society are born in the mind, and so is the detergent to clean them off. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Social Work quotes by Abhijit Naskar
There is only one science, physics: everything else is social work. ~ James D. Watson
Social Work quotes by James D. Watson
The government should now launch an initiative to encourage people to join the social work profession. ~ Andy Sawford
Social Work quotes by Andy Sawford
You cannot sincerely try to help another without helping yourself ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Social Work quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson
I think kids have got to learn how to work with what's happening, work with social, work with everything. To complain about how things aren't the way they used to be ... ~ Diplo
Social Work quotes by Diplo
Without our suffering, our work would simply be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. ~ Mother Teresa
Social Work quotes by Mother Teresa
The pupil's imagination is 'schooled' to accept service in place of value. Medical treatment is mistaken for health care, social work for the improvement of community life, police protection for safety, military poise for national security, the rat race for productive work. ~ Ivan Illich
Social Work quotes by Ivan Illich
Up until 1900, more than half the graduates from women's colleges remained single, many of them carving out careers in new fields such as social work. ~ Stephanie Coontz
Social Work quotes by Stephanie Coontz
As helpers, we often feel the need to see our impact in tangible, measurable ways. We allow negative language into our head about the "broken system;" we look through a lens of "it doesn't matter, I can't make a difference". These ideas are surely contributing to our burnout. ~ Jenn Bruer
Social Work quotes by Jenn Bruer
Every generation needs caretakers - and the caretaker of your generation is you. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Social Work quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The purpose behind discerning the nature of love is not to satisfy ivory tower discussions or to produce fodder for academic delectation. Instead, as our work makes all too clear, the world is full of live men and women who encounter difficulty in loving or being loved, and whose happiness depends critically upon resolving that situation with the utmost expediency. ~ Thomas Lewis
Social Work quotes by Thomas Lewis
Anyone who has no need of anybody but himself is either a beast or a God.
Aristotle ~ Bruce Wayne Sullivan
Social Work quotes by Bruce Wayne Sullivan
John Lewis said, You have to be taught the way of peace, the way of love, the way of nonviolence. In the religious sense, in the moral sense, you can say that in the bosom of every human being, there is a spark of the divine. So you don't have a right as a human to abuse that spark of the divine in your fellow human being. From time to time, we would discuss that, if you have someone attacking you, beating you, spitting on you, you have to think of that person. Years ago that person was an innocent child, an innocent little baby. What happened? Did something go wrong? Did someone teach that person to hate, to abuse others? You try to appeal to the goodness of every human being and you don't give up. You never give up on anyone. ~ Krista Tippett
Social Work quotes by Krista Tippett
How can one be compassionate if you belong to any religion, follow any guru, believe in something, believe in your scriptures, and so on, attached to a conclusion? When you accept your guru, you have come to a conclusion, or when you strongly believe in god or in a saviour, this or that, can there be compassion? You may do social work, help the poor out of pity, out of sympathy, out of charity, but is all that love and compassion? ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Social Work quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
The core of the film [Hunt for the Wilderpeople] is that relationship. Whether they're getting on or whether they're not. If that relationship works, then everything else works as well. And you kind of almost, sort of, gives into a realm of something like New Zealand magic realism ... There is no world in which social work is actually pursues some kid into the woods in this manner. ~ Sam Neill
Social Work quotes by Sam Neill
What's nice about both clouds, and art, is that you can look at them and just resonate. That can be good for both the heart and the mind. ~ Ogden W. Rogers
Social Work quotes by Ogden W. Rogers
After listening to everyone rumble with both their pain and their privilege, the white woman who wrote the "you don't know me" note said, "I get it, but I can't spend my life focusing on the negative things - especially what the black and Hispanic students are talking about. It's too hard. Too painful." And before anyone could say a word, she had covered her face with her hands and started to cry. In an instant, we were all in that marshy, dark delta with her. She wiped her face and said, "Oh my God. I get it: I can choose to be bothered when it suits me. I don't have to live this every day." I chose to use my social work ~ Brene Brown
Social Work quotes by Brene Brown
Without out suffering, our work would just be social work, very good and helpful, but it would not be the work of Jesus Christ, not part of the Redemption. All the desolation of the poor people, not only their material poverty, but their spiritual destitution, must be redeemed. And we must share it, for only by being one with them can we redeem them by bringing God into their lives and bringing them to God. ~ Mother Teresa
Social Work quotes by Mother Teresa
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all I know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. It's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid. ~ P.D. James
Social Work quotes by P.D. James
Though a smile is little work, its effects are long lasting. ~ Bucky Buckbinder
Social Work quotes by Bucky Buckbinder
My body is for my tennis - it's for my sport. I'm not a model at all. I don't work out to go to the beach: I work out to play well and to do well on the court. ~ Stanislas Wawrinka
Social Work quotes by Stanislas Wawrinka
Poverty must be erased by hard work. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Social Work quotes by Sunday Adelaja
Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity. ~ Lao-Tzu
Social Work quotes by Lao-Tzu
Awakening is no longer seen as something to attain in the distant future, for it is not a thing but a process - and this process is the path itself. But neither does this render us in any way perfect or infallible. We are quite capable of subverting this process to the interests of our far-from-extinct desires, ambitions, hatreds, jealousies, and fears. We have not been elevated to the lofty heights of awakening; awakening has been knocked off its pedestal into the turmoil and ambiguity of everyday life. There is nothing particularly religious or spiritual about this path. It encompasses everything we do. It is an authentic way of being in the world. It begins with how we understand the kind of reality we inhabit and the kind of beings we are that inhabit such a reality. Such a vision underpins the values that inform our ideas, the choices we make, the words we utter, the deeds we perform, the work we do. It provides the ethical ground for mindful and focused awareness, which in turn further deepens our understanding of the kind of reality we inhabit and the kind of beings we are that inhabit such a reality. And so on. ~ Stephen Batchelor
Social Work quotes by Stephen Batchelor
I wasn't political enough to write articles about myself or go to cocktail parties, meaning that not only has my art been pirated and my intellectual property rights stolen, but my work has been misrepresented. ~ Michael Heizer
Social Work quotes by Michael Heizer
I grew up understanding the pros and cons of what you're getting into and knowing what comes with your job. I like to keep my private life private, and then work is work. I feel so far I've had a really good balance with that. ~ Lily Collins
Social Work quotes by Lily Collins
Every social ethic is doomed to failure if it is blind to personal responsibility (The Ten Commandments, 10). ~ J. Douma
Social Work quotes by J. Douma
Adults are locked into car payments and divorces and work. They haven't got time to think fresh. ~ Gary Paulsen
Social Work quotes by Gary Paulsen
I gradually work myself into a frenzy as the shoot approaches, while we're choosing the costumes or working with the make-up artist. I'm not so much interested in my character as the film itself. ~ Jeanne Moreau
Social Work quotes by Jeanne Moreau
The Give and Take Athletic Association lived up to its name. The hall of the association in Orchard street was fitted out with muscle- making inventions. With the fibres thus builded up the members were wont to engage the police and rival social and athletic organisations in joyous combat. Between these more serious occupations the Saturday night hop with the paper-box factory girls came as a refining influence and as an efficient screen. ~ O. Henry
Social Work quotes by O. Henry
I've always been a big proponent of not working for the sake of working, because I don't want to work for the rest of my life - I want to live. ~ Mila Kunis
Social Work quotes by Mila Kunis
Preserving that privacy between a writer and the work is important. You have to shut out all those voices that have reacted to your work. ~ Susan Minot
Social Work quotes by Susan Minot
I need to learn to keep a quiet heart. To trust that if God has allowed an interruption in my day, it serves a purpose. To believe that the time to finish what work I thought needed to be done will be given. To accept that He is diverting me from my 'plan A' to His greater plan. ~ Karen Ehman
Social Work quotes by Karen Ehman
I've worked with many directors, good ones and bad ones. So if I have a chance to work the good ones, I better put myself in their hands, and trust them, because that's my big opportunity to be different, and to be better than usual. ~ Thomas Kretschmann
Social Work quotes by Thomas Kretschmann
When you're adapting, you are working on someone else's problem that they have already solved. The work has been fine-tuned and read countless times, and you're just arriving at the end and taking what you want, so of course it is the regal way to moviemaking. Plays are just the ideal scripts - the structure is there and waiting for you. ~ Xavier Dolan
Social Work quotes by Xavier Dolan
People are attempting to bring a superficial reality to superheroes which is rather stupid. They work best as the flamboyant fantasies they are. I mean, these are characters that are broad and big. I don't need to see sweat patches under Superman's arms. I want to see him fly. ~ Frank Miller
Social Work quotes by Frank Miller
I would rather die than be in the United States Senate. I would be bored to death. Could you imagine me, banging around that chamber with 99 other people, asking for a motion on the amendment in the subcommittee? Forget it ... You'd watch me just walk out and walk right into the Potomac River and drown. That would be it. ~ Chris Christie
Social Work quotes by Chris Christie
Whatever your favorite kind of resistance is, it is likely to go into full bloom as you start making changes to your livelihood because this is an area that is linked with survival (our job is what pays our bills) as well as identity (our job is how we define ourselves). As a matter of fact, the more resistance you encounter, the more likely that you're hitting paydirt in your transformational process. ~ Maia Duerr
Social Work quotes by Maia Duerr
That's why I'm not on social media. People are way too open about their private lives. I don't need to see pictures of what somebody had for lunch or hear about how difficult their last bowel movement was or see on a map where they were when either one happened. ~ Janet Evanovich
Social Work quotes by Janet Evanovich
I used unexpectedly to experience a consciousness of the presence of God, or such a kind that I could not possibly doubt that He was within me or that I was wholly engulfed in Him. This was in no sense a vision: I believe it is called mystical theology. The soul is suspended in such a way that it seems to be completely outside itself. The will loves; the memory, I think, is almost lost; while the understanding, I believe, thought it is not lost, does not reason - I mean that it does not work, but is amazed at the extent of all it can understand; for God wills it to realize that it understands nothing of what His Majesty represents to it. ~ Teresa Of Avila
Social Work quotes by Teresa Of Avila
George Orwell was right. There's no greater genius as far as I'm concerned in terms of understanding human nature. I think that a lot of people just believe anything you tell them, and no matter what it is, they just go along with the program. They're perfectly happy to take their pill every day and do what they're told, and work and buy things, and work and buy things, and stay out of any complex emotional situations. And whatever the authorities tell them to do, they do, and whatever the authorities say is the truth, they believe is the truth. ~ George Lucas
Social Work quotes by George Lucas
Change life! Change Society! These ideas lose completely their meaning without producing an appropriate space. A lesson to be learned from soviet constructivists from the 1920s and 30s, and of their failure, is that new social relations demand a new space, and vice-versa. ~ Henri Lefebvre
Social Work quotes by Henri Lefebvre
When a child is born its sense-organs are brought in contact with the outer world. The waves of sound, heat and light beat upon its feeble body, its sensitive nerve-fibres quiver, the muscles contract and relax in obedience: a gasp, a breath, and in this act a marvelous little engine, of inconceivable delicacy and complexity of construction, unlike any on earth, is hitched to the wheel-work of the Universe. ~ Nikola Tesla
Social Work quotes by Nikola Tesla
Success does not come from having one's work recognized by others. It is the fruit of the seed that you lovingly planted. ~ Paulo Coelho
Social Work quotes by Paulo Coelho
You're serious? You want me to go to school?"
"Why not?" he challenged. "So long as you take care of shit around here, I'm fine with it. Might want to move on that whole divorce thing too while you're at it. Club's got a lawyer, I'll set up an appointment for you. I can pretty much guarantee your ex won't put up a fight."
He smiled when he said it - not a nice smile.
"Okay, I'll go check it out," I said slowly. "This is weird, you get that? You kidnapping me, holding me hostage and then sending me to school? This isn't how things like this usually work."
Horse grinned at me, eyes lazy and satisfied.
"Just roll with it," he whispered. "And keep doing whatever exercises you do to make your cunt squeeze like that. They got a college degree for that? ~ Joanna Wylde
Social Work quotes by Joanna Wylde
The Social Security disability fund is going belly up in 2016. ~ Rob Portman
Social Work quotes by Rob Portman
Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think. ~ Terry Pratchett
Social Work quotes by Terry Pratchett
There's a tradition in American fiction that is deadly serious and earnest - like the Steinbeckian social novel. ~ John Hodgman
Social Work quotes by John Hodgman
I've been trying to make you happy for six years now, hoping somehow that would make me happy too, but I don't think it's working. You're not really happy with me because I'm not happy with you because I'm not happy with me. ~ Christine Riccio
Social Work quotes by Christine Riccio
The love of what you do, combined with your belief in what you do, will not determine your success. It will determine how hard you will work and how dedicated you will be to achieving it. Success just shows up from there. ~ Jeffrey Gitomer
Social Work quotes by Jeffrey Gitomer
My priority in life is my whanau, followed by my work as an artist, which has blessed me with the ability to provide opportunities working with others to advance the well-being of Maori. ~ Cliff Curtis
Social Work quotes by Cliff Curtis
I don't know why Kate was trying to impress him, as far as I could see the guy had all the allure and social grace of a psychotic slug with halitosis and a bad head cold. ~ Sharon Sant
Social Work quotes by Sharon Sant
When you believe something is impossible, your mind goes to work for you to prove why. But when you believe, really believe, something can be done, your mind goes to work for you and helps you find the ways to do it. ~ David J. Schwartz
Social Work quotes by David J. Schwartz
There is a vast expanse of time before the Norman Conquest in 1066, from which fragments of literary texts remain, although these fragments make quite a substantial body of work. If we consider that the same expanse of time has passed between Shakespeare's time and now as passed between the earliest extant text and 1066, we can begin to imagine just how much literary expression there must have been. But these centuries remain largely dark to us, apart from a few illuminating flashes and fragments, since almost all of it was never written down, and since most of what was preserved in writing was destroyed later, particularly during the 1530s. ~ Ronald Carter
Social Work quotes by Ronald Carter
Jesus gave us a model for the work of the church at the Last Supper. While his disciples kept proposing more organization - Hey, let's elect officers, establish hierarchy, set standards of professionalism - Jesus quietly picked up a towel and basin of water and began to wash their feet. ~ Philip Yancey
Social Work quotes by Philip Yancey
The significance of the crucifixion is not only what God does for us; consistently throughout the New Testament the crucifixion is portrayed as the pattern that we are to follow. It is a model of social behavior toward the other as well as a statement about what God has done for us. ~ Miroslav Volf
Social Work quotes by Miroslav Volf
Poverty does not belong in civilized human society. Its proper place is in a museum. That's where it will be. ~ Muhammad Yunus
Social Work quotes by Muhammad Yunus
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.-Colin Powell ~ Colin Powell
Social Work quotes by Colin Powell
A breezy style is often the work of an egocentric, the person who imagines that everything that pops into his head is of general interest and that uninhibited prose creates high spirits and carries the day. ~ E.B. White
Social Work quotes by E.B. White
A righteous government is of all the most to be wished for,Bearing of blessing and good fortune in the highest.Guided by the law of Truth, supported by dedication and zeal,It blossoms into the Best of Order, a Kingdom of Heaven!To effect this I shall work now and ever more. ~ Zoroaster
Social Work quotes by Zoroaster
The search for justice and security, the struggle for equality of opportunity, the quest for tolerance and harmony, the pursuit of human dignity - these are moral imperatives which we must work towards and think about on a daily basis. ~ Aga Khan IV
Social Work quotes by Aga Khan IV
The belief, not only of the socialist but of those so-called liberals who are diligently preparing the way for them is that by due skill an ill working humanity may be framed into well-working initiations. It is delusion. The defective natures of citizens will show themselves in bad acting of whatever social structure they are arranged into. There is no political alchemy by which you can get golden conduct out of laden instincts. ~ Herbert Spencer
Social Work quotes by Herbert Spencer
