I remember Secretary of State [George] Shultz one day saying that America is an economic model for the world. I replied to him that America represents 5 percent of the world's population and consumes 30 percent of the world's energy. What if everyone in the world lives like Americans? Where do we get the energy for this standard of living? ~ Mikhail Gorbachev
Standards Of Living quotes by Mikhail Gorbachev
So we take the deal. We agree to do a job in exchange for a set of instructions. And for the hundred years that it led to increasing standards of living, it seemed like a very good deal. ~ Seth Godin
Standards Of Living quotes by Seth Godin
True wealth is not a static thing. It is a living thing made out of the disposition of men to create and distribute the good things of life with rising standards of living. ~ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Standards Of Living quotes by Franklin D. Roosevelt
Where you find obesity, you'll find poverty. It's a reflection of the South's struggle to raise its standard of living. ~ William R. Ferris
Standards Of Living quotes by William R. Ferris
If standard of living is your major objective, quality of life almost never improves, but if quality of life is your number one objective, your standard of living almost always improves. ~ Zig Ziglar
Standards Of Living quotes by Zig Ziglar
Take a look at all the third-world countries that are increasing the so called standard of living. One aspect of this rise in standard of living is the increased consumption of animal products, which directly correlates with the rise in heart disease. ~ William McNamara
Standards Of Living quotes by William McNamara
PAYING ATTENTION TO GOD We bless GOD, oh yes - we bless him now, we bless him always! PSALM 115:18, THE MESSAGE Prayer is the most thoroughly present act we have as humans, and the most energetic: it sockets the immediate past into the immediate future and makes a flexible, living joint of them. The Amen gathers what has just happened into the Maranatha of the about to happen and produces a Benediction. We pay attention to God and lead others to pay attention to God. It hardly matters that so many people would rather pay attention to their standards of living, or their self-image, or their zeal to make a mark in the world. The reality is God: worship or flee. THE CONTEMPLATIVE PASTOR ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Standards Of Living quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
You go to Scandinavia, and you will find that people have a much higher standard of living, in terms of education, health care and decent paying jobs. ~ Bernie Sanders
Standards Of Living quotes by Bernie Sanders
The only way you get economic progress, real standards of living moving higher, is to have the savings of the society continuously invested in the cutting-edge technologies. And those technologies which are obsolescent get dropped out. ~ Alan Greenspan
Standards Of Living quotes by Alan Greenspan
We face the question whether a still higher "standard of living" is worth its cost in things natural, wild, and free. ~ Aldo Leopold
Standards Of Living quotes by Aldo Leopold
The standard of living of the average American has to decline. ~ Paul Volcker
Standards Of Living quotes by Paul Volcker
The United Nations is an uplifting experiment, dedicated to raising the standards of living in Africa , the consciences of democracies, and the price of prostitutes in New York ~ Frank Dane
Standards Of Living quotes by Frank Dane
In the years after the expedition to Chad, I started the Honnold Foundation, a small nonprofit that was my attempt to do something positive in the world. I sought out projects that both helped the environment and improved peoples' standards of living. The more I researched, the more I gravitated toward solar. ~ Alex Honnold
Standards Of Living quotes by Alex Honnold
We have been maintaining a standard of living by putting things on the debt of the next generation. ~ Richard Lamm
Standards Of Living quotes by Richard Lamm
Creating breathing room financially may lower your standard of living but raise your quality of life. ~ Andy Stanley
Standards Of Living quotes by Andy Stanley
[The task is to] covertly lower the standard of living, the whole social structure, of America so that we can be merged with all other nations. ~ Horace Rowan Gaither
Standards Of Living quotes by Horace Rowan Gaither
You need people in a society to have reached a certain standard of living before they can be polite. You learn how to respect others because you don't have to fight as much, you have what you need. ~ Cristian Mungiu
Standards Of Living quotes by Cristian Mungiu
Inflation is not a Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Rather, it deals most cruelly with those who can least protect themselves. It strikes hardest those millions of our citizens whose incomes do not quickly rise with the cost of living. When prices soar, the pensioner and the widow see their security undermined, the man of thrift sees his savings melt away; the white collar worker, the minister, and the teacher see their standards of living dragged down. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Standards Of Living quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
What polluters do is raise the standards of living for themselves, while lowering the quality of living for everybody else, and they do that by escaping the disciplines of the free market. ~ Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Standards Of Living quotes by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Jesus did not die for pastors to have a well paid job. Neither was He raised on the cross just to raise our standard of living. He died to seek and to save those who are lost. ~ Reinhard Bonnke
Standards Of Living quotes by Reinhard Bonnke
We were raising our standard of living at the expense of our standard of character. ~ Ida Tarbell
Standards Of Living quotes by Ida Tarbell
We created a way of raising standards of living that we can't possibly pass on to our children. ~ Joseph J. Romm
Standards Of Living quotes by Joseph J. Romm
If you believe that the developing world deserves the same standards of living that we do in the developed world, then to achieve that, they need resources. They need the metals and the minerals to build the industries and the buildings and so forth, and the energy. ~ Peter Diamandis
Standards Of Living quotes by Peter Diamandis
To be beyond means to be above your ego, enlightened in a way that separates you from yourself...and the world--which is now beneath your standards of living. ~ Lethal Creed
Standards Of Living quotes by Lethal Creed
That the way to achieve higher standards of living for all is through science and technology, taking advantage of better tools, methods and organization. ~ Charles E. Wilson
Standards Of Living quotes by Charles E. Wilson
Increased jobs are the consequence of increased trade. Increasing jobs more than output implies a fall in productivity and standards of living. That surely cannot be our goal. ~ Alan Greenspan
Standards Of Living quotes by Alan Greenspan
We boast the highest standard of living when it's only the biggest. ~ Frank Lloyd Wright
Standards Of Living quotes by Frank Lloyd Wright
Fossil fuel is very seductive stuff. [John Maynard] Keynes once said that, as far as he could tell, the average standard of living from the beginning of human history to the middle of the eighteenth century had perhaps doubled. Not much had changed, and then we found coal and gas and oil and everything changed. We're reaping the result of that, both ecologically and socially. ~ Bill McKibben
Standards Of Living quotes by Bill McKibben
Wars are generally fought for material things; they're not fought over ideals. After we get into them, we are told we are fighting for ideals. We are fighting for oil and tin and rubber and markets, and as long as we insist on a standard of life that is so high above all the rest of the world, we're going to have to pay for our standard of living with a lot of blood. I think we ought to re-examine the fact that Jesus was a pauper, and we should be committing ourselves to a very humble, simple way of life. ~ Clarence Jordan
Standards Of Living quotes by Clarence Jordan
To know what Fascism really is we must first of all know what it is we are fighting, what the Fascist regimes really are and do, who puts up the money and backs Fascism in every country, and who owns the nations under such regimes, and why the natives of all Fascist countries must be driven into harder work, less money, reduced standards of living, poverty and desperation so that the men and corporations who found, subsidize and own Fascism can grow unbelievably rich. ~ George Seldes
Standards Of Living quotes by George Seldes
We have a high standard of living ... In Norway, we've tripled our income since 1970. In the rest of western Europe, income has merely doubled. ~ Jens Stoltenberg
Standards Of Living quotes by Jens Stoltenberg
Many of the products which create a modern standard of living are only the physical incorporations of ideas- not only the ideas of an Edison or a Ford but the ideas of innumerable anonymous people who figure out the design of supermarkets, the location of gasoline stations, and the million mundane things on which our material well-being depends. Societies which have more people carrying out physical acts and fewer people supplying ideas do not have higher standards of living. Quite the contrary. ~ Thomas Sowell
Standards Of Living quotes by Thomas Sowell
In West Virginia, we've been extracting coal longer than anyone else. And after one hundred and fifty years of making other people rich, West Virginia is almost dead last among the states in per capita income, education rates and life expectancy. And it's not an anomaly. The areas with the richest fossil fuel resources, whether coal in West Virginia and Kentucky, or oil in Louisiana and Mississippi, are the areas with the lowest standards of living. In part, this is a necessity of the industry. The only way to convince someone to blow up their backyard or poison their water is to make sure they are so desperate that they have no other option. ~ Tim DeChristopher
Standards Of Living quotes by Tim DeChristopher
(a) Recent U.S. income growth primarily occurs at the top 1 percent of the income distribution. (b) As a result there is growing inequality. (c) And those at the bottom and in the middle are actually worse-off today than they were at the beginning of the century. (d) Inequalities in wealth are even greater than inequalities in income. (e) Inequalities are apparent not just in income but in a variety of other variables that reflect standards of living, such as insecurity and health. (f) Life is particularly harsh at the bottom - and the recession made it much worse. (g) There has been a hollowing out of the middle class. (h) There is little income mobility - the notion of America as a land of opportunity is a myth. (i) And America has more inequality than any other advanced industrialized country, it does less to correct these inequities, and inequality is growing more than in many other countries. ~ Joseph E. Stiglitz
Standards Of Living quotes by Joseph E. Stiglitz
America ... holds up its way of life as the ideal for every nation, and seeks to impose its own standards of living - which many people think ridiculously and unwholesomely high - on others, partly of course in the search for markets. If it were openly stated that it was just a search for markets, that would be one thing, but it is not; by a tremendous propaganda campaign this materialistic conception is held up as an ideal, as somehow part of liberty, and above all, as a form of happiness. ~ Ann Bridge
Standards Of Living quotes by Ann Bridge
I believe that the average guy in the street will give up a great deal, if he really understands the cost of not giving it up. In fact, we may find that, while we're drastically cutting our energy consumption, we're actually raising our standard of living. ~ David R. Brower
Standards Of Living quotes by David R. Brower
Lukewarm people give money to charity and to the church ... so long as it doesn't impinge on their standard of living. Lukewarm people tend to choose what is popular over what is right. Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want to be saved from the penalty of their sin. Lukewarm people rarely share their faith with their neighbors, coworkers, or friends. Lukewarm people are thankful for their luxuries and comforts, and rarely consider trying to give as much as possible to the poor. ~ Francis Chan
Standards Of Living quotes by Francis Chan
My single biggest financial concern is the loss of the dollar as the reserve currency. I can't imagine anything more disastrous to our country ... you're already seeing things in the markets that are suggesting that confidence in the dollar is waning ... I think you could see a 25% reduction in the standard of living in this country if the U.S. dollar was no longer the world's reserve currency. That's how valuable it is. ~ Sam Zell
Standards Of Living quotes by Sam Zell
Well, if I use Hispanic culture I get corruption and really good salsa music. If I use Chinese culture I get rigid thinking and decent Szechwan. If I use Islamic culture I get ... not damned much of anything. And ditto for Africa although at least the rhythm is good and you can dance to it. But if I use Western European Culture I get industry, higher standards of living, longer lifespans and a generally happier society. Damn, I think I'll just have to go with WesternCiv even if I do have to put up with the Lutherans. ~ John Ringo
Standards Of Living quotes by John Ringo
If you print money like in Zimbabwe ... the purchasing power of money goes down, and the standards of living go down, and eventually, you have a civil war. ~ Marc Faber
Standards Of Living quotes by Marc Faber
If you want to know what the biggest thing in your way to an improved standard of living, higher pay, a more rewarding career is: Barack Obama and the Democrat Party and their economic policies. They are the roadblock. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Standards Of Living quotes by Rush Limbaugh
Man is still by instinct a predatory animal given to devilish aggression. The discoveries of science have immensely increased productivity of material things. They have increased the standards of living and comfort. They have eliminated infinite drudgery. They have increased leisure. But that gives more time for devilment. The work of science has eliminated much disease and suffering. It has increased the length of life. That, together with increase in productivity, has resulted in vastly increased populations. Also it increased the number of people engaged in devilment. ~ Herbert Hoover
Standards Of Living quotes by Herbert Hoover
I will try not to panic, to keep my standard of living modest and to work steadily, even shyly, in the spirit of those medieval carvers who so fondly sculpted the undersides of choir seats. ~ John Updike
Standards Of Living quotes by John Updike
We utilize energy from carbon, not because we are bad people, but because it is the affordable foundation on which the profound improvements in our standard of living have been achieved - our progress in health and welfare. ~ John Christy
Standards Of Living quotes by John Christy
The frog is almost five hundred million years old. Could you really say with much certainty that America, with all its strength and prosperity, with its fighting man that is second to none, and with its standard of living that is highest in the world, will last as long as ... the frog? ~ Joseph Heller
Standards Of Living quotes by Joseph Heller
Crony capitalism is much easier than competing in an open market. But it erodes our overall standard of living and stifles entrepreneurs by rewarding the politically favored rather than those who provide what consumers want. ~ Charles Koch
Standards Of Living quotes by Charles Koch
The wage of a people has meaning only when it arises from production. Every increase in production should benefit the whole people and raise the people's standards of living. ~ Adolf Hitler
Standards Of Living quotes by Adolf Hitler
It is neither necessary nor desirable that national boundaries should mark sharp differences in standards of living, that membership of a national group should entitle to a share in a cake altogether different from that in which members of other groups share. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Standards Of Living quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
It is not because food, clothes and property are inherently evil that Christians today must lower their standard of living. It is because others are starving. Creation is good. But the one who gave us this gorgeous token of his affection has asked us to share it with our sisters and brothers. ~ Ronald J. Sider
Standards Of Living quotes by Ronald J. Sider
Practically the only way to dry the swamp of radical Islam is through economic development and an improved standard of living. ~ Yitzhak Rabin
Standards Of Living quotes by Yitzhak Rabin
The destiny of world civilization depends upon providing a decent standard of living for all mankind. ~ Norman Borlaug
Standards Of Living quotes by Norman Borlaug
Capitalism has been called a system of greed - yet it is the system that raised the standard of living of its poorest citizens to heights no collectivist system has ever begun to equal, and no tribal gang can conceive of. ~ Ayn Rand
Standards Of Living quotes by Ayn Rand
Only by providing leading-edge human capital and knowledge capital can American continue to maintain a high standard of living, including providing national security for its citizens. ~ Norman Ralph Augustine
Standards Of Living quotes by Norman Ralph Augustine
If greed were not the master of modern man, how could it be that the frenzy of economic activity does not abate as higher standards of living are attained, and that it is precisely the richest societies which pursue their economic advantage with the greatest ruthlessness? ~ E.F. Schumacher
Standards Of Living quotes by E.F. Schumacher
I understood why those who had lived through war or economic disasters, and who had built for themselves a good life and a high standard of living, were rightly proud to be able to provide for their children those things which they themselves had not had. And why their children, inevitably, took those things for granted. It meant that new values and new expectations had crept into our societies along with new standards of living. Hence the materialistic and often greedy and selfish lifestyle of so many young people in the Western world, especially in the United States. ~ Jane Goodall
Standards Of Living quotes by Jane Goodall
The government of India regulates nearly everything, so there's very little progress; whereas in Hong Kong the government keeps its hands off ... and the standard of living has multiplied. ~ John Templeton
Standards Of Living quotes by John Templeton
If we cannot return to fiscal integrity because the public prefers profusion and prodigality over balanced budgets, we cannot escape paying the price, which is ever lower incomes and standards of living for all. ~ Hans F. Sennholz
Standards Of Living quotes by Hans F. Sennholz
I am pretty sure central banks will continue to print money, and the standards of living for people in the western world, not just in America, will continue to decline because the cost of living increases will exceed income. The cost of living will also go up because all kinds of taxes will increase. ~ Marc Faber
Standards Of Living quotes by Marc Faber
We Americans sit at the head of the banquet table, as we have done for a century. Our standard of living is luxurious by any measure. ~ Deepak Chopra
Standards Of Living quotes by Deepak Chopra
Too much of the world's happiness depends on taking from one to satisfy another. To increase my standard of living, someone in another part of the world must lower his. The worldwide crisis of hunger that we face today is a result of that method of pursuing happiness. Industrialized nations acquire appetites for more and more luxuries and higher and higher standards of living, and increasing numbers of people are made poor and hungry. It doesn't have to be that way ... ~ Eugene H. Peterson
Standards Of Living quotes by Eugene H. Peterson
Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. ~ Anthony Burgess
Standards Of Living quotes by Anthony Burgess
I rarely joke unless I'm in front of a camera. It's not what I am in real life. It's what I do for a living. ~ Christopher Guest
Standards Of Living quotes by Christopher Guest
The universe is a multi-dimension al creative process, constantly forming new facets of possibility for you and all living things. Expanding our awareness of the process, we allow ourselves to experience more of it. Every moment we can remember that ANYTHING is possible in a realm of endless possibility. ~ Marianne Williamson
Standards Of Living quotes by Marianne Williamson
We can't be afraid of change. You may feel very secure in the pond that you are in, but if you never venture out of it, you will never know that there is such a thing as an ocean, a sea. Holding onto something that is good for you now, may be the very reason why you don't have something better. ~ C. JoyBell C.
Standards Of Living quotes by C. JoyBell C.
No, no, it's not me, it's them - that old time that I've tried to have live in me. These were just men, unimportant evidently or they wouldn't have been 'unknown'; but they died for the most beautiful thing in the world - the dead South. You see," she continued, her voice still husky, her eyes glistening with tears, "people have these dreams they fasten onto things, and I've always grown up with that dream. It was so easy because it was all dead and there weren't any disillusions comin' to me. I've tried in a way to live up to those past standards of noblesse oblige - there's just the last remnants of it, you know, like the roses of an old garden dying all round us - streaks of strange courtliness and chivalry in some of these boys an' stories I used to hear from a Confederate soldier who lived next door, and a few old darkies. Oh, Harry, there was something, there was something! I couldn't ever make you understand but it was there. ~ F Scott Fitzgerald
Standards Of Living quotes by F Scott Fitzgerald
Mainline American Protestantism, as is often the case, plodded wearily along as if nothing had changed. Like an aging dowager, living in a decaying mansion on the edge of town, bankrupt and penniless, house decaying around her but acting as if her family still controlled the city, our theologians and church leaders continued to think and act as if we were in charge, as if the old arrangements were still valid. ~ Stanley Hauerwas
Standards Of Living quotes by Stanley Hauerwas
We have to look deeply to see how we grow our food, so we can eat in ways that preserve our collective well-being, minimize our suffering and the suffering of other species, and allow the earth to continue to be a source of life for all of us. If, while we eat, we destroy living beings or the environment, we are eating the flesh of our own sons and daughters. We need to look deeply together and discuss how to eat, what to eat, and what to resist. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh
Standards Of Living quotes by Thich Nhat Hanh
Just as writing can become calligraphy when it's creatively, skillfully, and consciously performed, so can all other activities become art. In this case, we are reflecting upon life itself as an artistic statement - the art of living. ~ H.E. Davey
Standards Of Living quotes by H.E. Davey
Such threats and promises often succeed in creating stable human hierarchies and mass-cooperation networks, as long as people believe that they reflect the inevitable laws of nature or the divine commands of God, rather than just human whims. All large-scale human cooperation is ultimately based on our belief in imagined orders. These are sets of rules that, despite existing only in our imagination, we believe to be as real and inviolable as gravity. 'If you sacrifice ten bulls to the sky god, the rain will come; if you honour your parents, you will go to heaven; and if you don't believe what I am telling you – you'll go to hell.' As long as all Sapiens living in a particular locality believe in the same stories, they all follow the same rules, making it easy to predict the behaviour of strangers and to organise mass-cooperation networks. Sapiens often use visual marks such as a turban, a beard or a business suit to signal 'you can trust me, I believe in the same story as you'. Our chimpanzee cousins cannot invent and spread such stories, which is why they cannot cooperate in large numbers. ~ Yuval Noah Harari
Standards Of Living quotes by Yuval Noah Harari
I let Wally go yesterday," Mr. Forney said. "I just want you to know that." "You fired him?" "Of course. Fraternizing with hotel guests is cause for dismissal." "But - " "We have high standards for the hotel, Miss Spooner. That includes employees." "Yeah," I said. "I've seen your high standards up close, Mr. Forney. I think you like rolling in your stinky high standards. Especially when you can kick a couple of guests out of the hotel because they have the wrong last name." He ~ Judy Blundell
Standards Of Living quotes by Judy Blundell
It doesn't interest me if there is one God
or many gods.
I want to know if you belong or feel
abandoned,
if you can know despair or see it in others,
I want to know

if you are prepared to live in the world
with its harsh need
to change you. If you can look back
with firm eyes,
saying this is where I stand. I want to know
if you know
how to melt into that fierce heat of living, 
falling toward
the center of your longing. I want to know
if you are willing
to live, day by day, with the consequence of love
and the bitter
unwanted passion of your sure defeat.

I have heard, in that fierce embrace, even
the gods speak of God. ~ David Whyte
Standards Of Living quotes by David Whyte
I arrived in the USA in 2001 and by 2015 I knew through experience that I was living in a country of corporate incompetence and blatant frauds. ~ Steven Magee
Standards Of Living quotes by Steven Magee
That programme [Supremacy of Capital] has condemned the peoples of the majority world to mass poverty, and now threatens to do the same to those living in the core capitalist economies as they slide towards permanent austerity and social disintegration. The power granted to capital comes at a price, and as the next chapter demonstrates, that price is democracy itself. ~ John Hilary
Standards Of Living quotes by John Hilary
The biggest truth to face now – what is probably making me unfunny now for the remainder of my life – is that I don't think people give a damn whether the planet goes or not. It seems to me as if everyone is living as members of Alcoholics Anonymous do, day by day. And a few more days will be enough. I know of very few people who are dreaming of a world for their grandchildren. ~ Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
Standards Of Living quotes by Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
You learn as you grow up, if you're intelligent - or even three-quarter witted - that there's no free lunch. You pay for things in various ways. Living, loving, everything else is a matter of the same principles: you learn to work with what you have. ~ Iris Apfel
Standards Of Living quotes by Iris Apfel
The act of extending forgiveness and asking for forgiveness must come from our heart. ~ Sara Dormon
Standards Of Living quotes by Sara Dormon
The church is far greater than [a building or denomination]. It includes the whole family of God - that vast unseen fellowship of men and women throughout the ages who belong to Christ. Paul wrote of "God's household, which is the church of the living God" [1 Timothy 3:15 NIV). ~ Billy Graham
Standards Of Living quotes by Billy Graham
For no sin is committed save by that desire or will by which we desire that it be well with us, and shrink from it being ill with us. That, therefore, is a lie which we do in order that it may be well with us, but which makes us more miserable than we were. And why is this, but because the source of man's happiness lies only in God, whom he abandons when he sins, and not in himself, by living according to whom he sins? ~ Augustine Of Hippo
Standards Of Living quotes by Augustine Of Hippo
Blessed are those who eat greens, for they shall keep their teeth. Blessed are those who wash their hands after wiping their arses, for they shall not sicken. Blessed are those who boil water, for they shall be called saviors of mankind. ~ Diana Gabaldon
Standards Of Living quotes by Diana Gabaldon
I am never alone wherever I am. The air itself supplies me with a century of love. When I breathe in, I am breathing in the laughter, tears, victories, passions, thoughts, memories, existence, joys, moments, and the hues of the sunlight on many tones of skin; I am breathing in the same air that was exhaled by many before me. The air that bore them life. And so how can I ever say that I am alone? ~ C. JoyBell C.
Standards Of Living quotes by C. JoyBell C.
We're telling small-business owners that not only are we going to raise their costs by a buck and a quarter, but we're also going to raise it with these cost-of-living adjustments. Here's what's going to happen: They're going to have to lay people off. ~ Chris Christie
Standards Of Living quotes by Chris Christie
I love you," she says. "But that doesn't mean I'm ready to give up my life for you. I don't want to pull over and park right now. I want to see places, Gray. I want to live my life. You're asking me to give up who I am. If I move with you, I'll just be living your life. Your dream. I'll regret the things you're going to hold me back from doing, and then I'll probably blame you. And that's not fair to either of us. ~ Katie Kacvinsky
Standards Of Living quotes by Katie Kacvinsky
It is the present living generation that gives character and spirit to the next. Hence the paramount importance of accomplished and energetic teachers in forming the taste the manners and the character of the coming age. ~ Alexander Campbell
Standards Of Living quotes by Alexander Campbell
I feel connected to the Second World War because my father lost his father in that war. So, through my dad and the effect it had on him of losing his father young, I always felt connected to the war. It goes back years, but it still feels to me as if we're completely living in it. ~ Tom Hooper
Standards Of Living quotes by Tom Hooper
I went through a lot of bullying early on. Girls made my life a living hell. We had come to America from a different country. My brother and I had accents. It was very tough. ~ Nicki Minaj
Standards Of Living quotes by Nicki Minaj
The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living. ~ Karl Marx
Standards Of Living quotes by Karl Marx
He wanted to talk to them, if he could, to discover whether they had truths about life which he had never heard before. Here is what he hoped new truths might do for him: enable him to laugh at his troubles, to go on living, and to keep out of the North Wing of the Midland County General Hospital, which was for lunatics. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Standards Of Living quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
I do not see the value of separating humans into a body, soul and spirit. We don't do this with any other mammals, so why do we do it with ourselves? Thinking and fresh ideas arise naturally from the rhythm of one's internal felt-sense. It is the process artists demonstrate to humanity - to express our individuality in real-time, as a living process, rather than a "copied" idea. ~ Christopher Zzenn Loren
Standards Of Living quotes by Christopher Zzenn Loren
Where did all the creativity go?' she wondered aloud as she pondered the newly rediscovered story of her youth. 'If I was true to myself, would I have ended up living this ordinary life? ~ Lily Koppel
Standards Of Living quotes by Lily Koppel
What made Olive the saddest about the Gardners was that everyone wanted to be enshrined in someone's memory. It was the only way of living on after death, really: in the minds of loved ones. Memories were the only things that made aging bearable, a way of reverting to better, simpler days. ~ Andrea Lochen
Standards Of Living quotes by Andrea Lochen
We must not allow the academic prejudices bred by Hegelian ideology, anti-clericalism, anti-Semitism and nineteenth-century intellectual fashions to distort our view of these texts. All the internal evidence shows that those who set down and conflated these writings, and the scribes who copied them when the canon was assembled after the return from Exile, believed absolutely in the divine inspiration of the ancient texts and transcribed them with veneration and the highest possible standards of accuracy, including many passages which they manifestly did not understand. Indeed, the Pentateuch text twice gives solemn admonitions, from God himself, against tampering: 'Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall you diminish aught from it.'25 ~ Paul Johnson
Standards Of Living quotes by Paul Johnson
One of the things that was crucial for me I got from Rory Gallagher, which was the idea of, like, being a guitar player for life and living it. ~ Rory Gallagher
Standards Of Living quotes by Rory Gallagher
Studies of volunteers have shown there is a benefit to performing acts of love for other people. The irony is that it is actually in your best interest to be selfless. The things you do for the benefit of others not only make you feel fulfilled, they increase your chances of living a long and happy life. Remember that an act of love always benefits at least two people. ~ Bernie Siegel
Standards Of Living quotes by Bernie Siegel
