If 22 bushels (1,300 pounds) of rice and 22 bushels of winter grain are harvested from a quarter acre field, then the field will support five to ten people each investing an average of less than one hour of labour per day. But if the field were turned over to pasturage, or if the grain were fed to cattle, only one person could be supported per quarter acre. Meat becomes a luxury food when its production requires land which could provide food directly for human consumption. This has been shown clearly and definitely. Each person should ponder seriously how much hardship he is causing by indulging in food so expensively produced. ~ Masanobu Fukuoka
World Hunger quotes by Masanobu Fukuoka
Hunger is actually the worst weapon of mass destruction. It claims millions of victims each year. ~ Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva
World Hunger quotes by Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva
But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin. ~ Aldous Huxley
World Hunger quotes by Aldous Huxley
The best way to show your gratitude to God and people is to accept everything with joy ... We may not be able to give much but we can always give the joy that springs from a heart that is in love with God. All over the world people are hungry and thirsty for God's love. We meet that hunger by spreading joy. Joy is one of the best safeguards against temptation. ~ Mother Teresa
World Hunger quotes by Mother Teresa
The day that hunger is eradicated from the earth there will be the greatest spiritual explosion the world has ever known. Humanity cannot imagine the joy that will burst into the world. ~ Federico Garcia Lorca
World Hunger quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca

World Hunger quotes by Nolan Bushnell
It hurts me when I see a priest or a nun with the latest model car, you can't do this. A car is necessary to do a lot of work, but please, choose a more humble one. If you like the fancy one, just think about how many children are dying of hunger in the world. ~ Pope Francis
World Hunger quotes by Pope Francis
I may not be able to cure cancer or end world hunger, but small kindnesses go a long way. ~ Adam Silvera
World Hunger quotes by Adam Silvera
Lasting peace is sought, it is essential to adopt international measures to improve the lot of the masses. The welfare of the entire human race must replace hunger and oppression. People of the world must be taught to give up envy, avarice and rancour. ~ Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
World Hunger quotes by Mustafa Kemal Ataturk

World Hunger quotes by Melissa Fay Greene
this is the 21st century and we need to redefine r/evolution. this planet needs a people's r/evolution. a humanist r/evolution. r/evolution is not about bloodshed or about going to the mountains and fighting. we will fight if we are forced to but the fundamental goal of r/evolution must be peace.

we need a r/evolution of the mind. we need a r/evolution of the heart. we need a r/evolution of the spirit. the power of the people is stronger than any weapon. a people's r/evolution can't be stopped. we need to be weapons of mass construction. weapons of mass love. it's not enough just to change the system. we need to change ourselves. we have got to make this world user friendly. user friendly.

are you ready to sacrifice to end world hunger. to sacrifice to end colonialism. to end neo-colonialism. to end racism. to end sexism.

r/evolution means the end of exploitation. r/evolution means respecting people from other cultures. r/evolution is creative.

r/evolution means treating your mate as a friend and an equal. r/evolution is sexy.

r/evolution means respecting and learning from your children. r/evolution is beautiful.

r/evolution means protecting the people. the plants. the animals. the air. the water. r/evolution means saving this planet.

r/evolution is love. ~ Assata Shakur
World Hunger quotes by Assata Shakur

At the working man's house, hunger looks in but dares not enter. ~ Benjamin Franklin
World Hunger quotes by Benjamin Franklin

yet we are rich only in hunger and thirst. What would become of us if we did not take our stand on hope, and if our heart did not hasten beyond this world! ~ John Calvin
World Hunger quotes by John Calvin

World Hunger quotes by Michelle Obama
The beautiful faces of the children I've met in Rwanda and in other countries are with me every day and fuel my passion to raise awareness of the global hunger issue. That's why I'm urging everyone to join me and #PassTheRedCup for Yum! Brands' World Hunger Relief effort. Together we can move millions of children from hunger to hope. ~ Christina Aguilera
World Hunger quotes by Christina Aguilera
The day hunger disappears, the world will see the greatest spiritual explosion humanity has ever seen. ~ Federico Garcia Lorca
World Hunger quotes by Federico Garcia Lorca
I first got involved with ending world hunger, and I got hip to the facts about it - what a huge problem it was and how it wasn't a matter of not having food or not knowing how to end it, but it was a matter of creating the political will. ~ Jeff Bridges
World Hunger quotes by Jeff Bridges
Global warming isn't real because I was cold today! Also great news: world hunger is over because I just ate. ~ Stephen Colbert
World Hunger quotes by Stephen Colbert
We need a Nuremberg to put on trial the economic order that they have imposed on us, that every three years kills more men, women and children by hunger and preventable or curable diseases than the death toll in six years of the second world war. ~ Fidel Castro
World Hunger quotes by Fidel Castro
Love and hunger rule the world. Ergo, to rule the world, one must master love and hunger. ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
World Hunger quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Are you ready to sacrifice to end world hunger? To sacrifice to end colonialism? To end neo-colonialism? To end racism? To end sexism? ~ Assata Shakur
World Hunger quotes by Assata Shakur
In this country that grows more food than any other nation on this earth, it is unthinkable that any child should go hungry. ~ Sela Ward
World Hunger quotes by Sela Ward
She could ask for anything, she thought dizzily, anything
an end to pain or world hunger or disease, or for peace on earth. But then again, perhaps these things weren't in the power of angels to grant, or they would already have been granted. And perhaps people were supposed to find these things for themselves. ~ Cassandra Clare
World Hunger quotes by Cassandra Clare
UNICEF is helping mothers realize their dreams for the future - a future in which the basic needs for a child's survival: food, clean water and simple health care - are guaranteed. ~ Jane Curtin
World Hunger quotes by Jane Curtin
This culture of waste has made us insensitive even to the waste and disposal of food, which is even more despicable when all over the world, unfortunately, many individuals and families are suffering from hunger and malnutrition. ~ Pope Francis
World Hunger quotes by Pope Francis
School feeding is a great tool to encourage education and provide food aid to children born into extremely impoverished situations. The kids in school being fed by WFP are empowered by their school meal to learn and better their lives! ~ Lauren Bush
World Hunger quotes by Lauren Bush
Clary hesitated - only for a moment, but the moment stretched out as long as any moment ever had. She could ask for anything, she thought dizzily, anything. - an end to pain or world hunger or disease, or for peace on earth. But then again, perhaps those things weren't in the power of angels to grant, or they would have already been granted. And perhaps people were supposed to find these things for themselves.
It didn't matter, anyway. There was only one thing she could ask for, in he end, only one real choice.
She raised her eyes to the Angel's.
Jace. ~ Cassandra Clare
World Hunger quotes by Cassandra Clare
Hunger is the best sauce in the world. ~ Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra
World Hunger quotes by Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra

World Hunger quotes by Christie Brinkley
The truth isn't always beauty, but the hunger for it is. ~ Nadine Gordimer
World Hunger quotes by Nadine Gordimer
We need to stop the dying and start the living; stop the hunger and start the hoping. ~ Penelope Cruz
World Hunger quotes by Penelope Cruz
There are genuinely sufficient resources in the world to ensure that no one, nowhere, at no time, should go hungry. ~ Ed Asner
World Hunger quotes by Ed Asner
When you read a book [The Hunger Games], you create that tonal bandwidth. You set a tone for yourself, as you're reading it, in which everything exists within the world of your imagination. In the book, it's great when she can push a button and food comes up, as per your order. ~ Nina Jacobson
World Hunger quotes by Nina Jacobson
It occurred to me that there wouldn't be world hunger, if you people would MOVE WHERE THE FOOD IS!!! ~ Sam Kinison
World Hunger quotes by Sam Kinison
If in so many parts of the world there are children who have nothing to eat, that's not news, it seems normal. It cannot be this way! ~ Pope Francis
World Hunger quotes by Pope Francis
You know what the problem is with world hunger? We've been sending them food. ~ Sam Kinison
World Hunger quotes by Sam Kinison
In today's world hunger for sanity seems to be more intense than our hunger for food. ~ Munia Khan
World Hunger quotes by Munia Khan
I can't think of any issue that is more important than working to see that no schoolchild in this world goes hungry. ~ Drew Barrymore
World Hunger quotes by Drew Barrymore
I solved world hunger."

"Yeah, right."

"Oh, ye of little faith."

"You realize that solving world hunger would mean you'd be doing something good for a change?"

"Ah, but there's the kicker: I destroyed my solutions." He finally looks away from the window and gives me this cocky smirk. "Malevolence 101, Kirk. ~ Abria Mattina
World Hunger quotes by Abria Mattina
If we can conquer space, we can conquer childhood hunger. ~ Buzz Aldrin
World Hunger quotes by Buzz Aldrin
When we work to end childhood hunger, we are giving our love to kids who need it so much they will never ask for it. ~ Beau Bridges
World Hunger quotes by Beau Bridges
You have everything within you to do great things in this world. Maybe, you are inspired to sing a song, write a book or poems, create art in various forms. Or you may decide to find a cure for disease, end world hunger, prevent abuse, or take a stand politically. The question is how to begin the process of fulfilling your vision. Start where you are and use the resources you have to build from there. Inspiration is what motivates you to achieve your remarkable ideas. Also it takes time and dedication to excel to the next level. ~ Amaka Imani Nkosazana
World Hunger quotes by Amaka Imani Nkosazana
I think the two biggest issues are world hunger and health, and all the things that stem from bad food. ~ Brett Dennen
World Hunger quotes by Brett Dennen
America, which leads the world in so many ways, can end childhood hunger within its borders. ~ Pierce Brosnan
World Hunger quotes by Pierce Brosnan
24,000 people, 18,000 of them children, die every day because of hunger. Each year we bring food to nearly 90 million people in more than 80 countries. Food - there's no greater gift, and no better way to give it than the World Food Programme. ~ Dikembe Mutombo
World Hunger quotes by Dikembe Mutombo
The world is out of shapewhen there are hungry men. ~ Lillian Hellman
World Hunger quotes by Lillian Hellman
Since the age of four, I've been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger. ~ Adora Svitak
World Hunger quotes by Adora Svitak
And if you worry that not finishing the food on your plate is a slap in the face of all the hungry people everywhere, you are not living in reality. The truth is that you either throw the food out or you throw it in, but either way it turns to waste. World hunger will not be solved by finishing the garlic mashed potatoes on your plate. ~ Geneen Roth
World Hunger quotes by Geneen Roth
I would like to end world hunger and create world peace, stop corruption, stop drugs getting to kids. ~ Kelly Preston
World Hunger quotes by Kelly Preston
The rice bowl is to me the most valid reason in the world for doing anything. A piece of one's soul to the multitudes in return for rice and wine does not seem to me a sacrilege. ~ Han Suyin
World Hunger quotes by Han Suyin
A hungry man is not a free man. ~ Adlai E. Stevenson II
World Hunger quotes by Adlai E. Stevenson II
I understand, of course, that grain-fed meat is not the cause of the world hunger problem-and eating some of it doesn't directly take food out of the mouths of starving people-but it is, to me, a symbol and a symptom of the basic irrationality of a food system that's divorced from human needs. Therefore, using less meat can be an important way to take responsibility. Making conscious choices about what we eat, based on what the earth can sustain and what our bodies need, can help remind us that our whole society must begin to balance sustainable production with human need. ~ Frances Moore Lappe
World Hunger quotes by Frances Moore Lappe
What is needed is a marriage of two impulses, a coupling of the urge to do something positive with the willingness to constantly re-evaluate how effectively our actions lead to our goal - that of ending world hunger ... ~ Harry Chapin
World Hunger quotes by Harry Chapin
A hungry man can't see right or wrong. He just sees food. ~ Pearl S. Buck
World Hunger quotes by Pearl S. Buck
Hunger makes a thief of any man. ~ Pearl S. Buck
World Hunger quotes by Pearl S. Buck
I saw the world I had walked since my birth and I understood how fragile it was, that the reality was a thin layer of icing on a great dark birthday cake writhing with grubs and nightmares and hunger. ~ Neil Gaiman
World Hunger quotes by Neil Gaiman
It is increasingly obvious that environmentally sustainable solutions to world hunger can only emerge as people eat more plant foods and fewer animal products. To me it is deeply moving that the same food choices that give us the best chance to eliminate world hunger are also those that take the least toll on the environment, contribute the most to our long-term health, are the safest, and are also, far and away, the most compassionate towards our fellow creatures. ~ John Robbins
World Hunger quotes by John Robbins
Farmers everywhere provide bread for all humanity, but it is Christ alone who is the bread of life ... Even if all the physical hunger of the world were satisfied, even if everyone who is hungry were fed by his or her own labor or by the generosity of others, the deepest hunger of man would still exist ... Therefore, I say, Come, all of you, to Christ. He is the bread of life. Come to Christ and you will never be hungry again ... ~ Pope John Paul II
World Hunger quotes by Pope John Paul II
What we apparently have failed to grasp is that, in this new world in which we live, the collective hunger of great masses of people, wherever they may be, will affect our long-range welfare, just as though they were our own people. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
World Hunger quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
More than 820 million people in the world suffer from hunger; and 790 million of them live in the Third World. ~ Fidel Castro
World Hunger quotes by Fidel Castro
Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger. ~ John Denver
World Hunger quotes by John Denver
There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger. ~ Anna Quindlen
World Hunger quotes by Anna Quindlen
Hungry people cannot be good at learning or producing anything, except perhaps violence. ~ Pearl Bailey
World Hunger quotes by Pearl Bailey
The place to which God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.
~ Frederick Buechner
World Hunger quotes by Frederick Buechner
I can't decide for you whether or not you have got to write, but if anything in the world, war, or pestilence, or famine, or private hunger, or anything, can stop you from writing, then don't write ... because if anything can even begin to keep you from writing you aren't a writer and you'll be in a hell of a mess until you find out. If you are a writer, you'll still be in a hell of a mess, but you'll have better reasons. ~ William, Saroyan
World Hunger quotes by William, Saroyan
Now that economic realism has finally arrived in India, the future lies in becoming a strong economic power. Dominance in the world will come only from how well a nation can cope with economic realism and towards that India must work, must find its own place under the sun. ~ Mukesh Ambani
World Hunger quotes by Mukesh Ambani
I knew who I was now. I had figured out how to love myself. And more and more each day, I was learning to be myself in the world. Life felt completely different, like I was sipping the perfection of a made-to-order drink that was exactly what I had imagined. As I looked up at the stars right then, I found myself saying, "This is what it was supposed to be like all along. ~ Stephen Lovegrove
World Hunger quotes by Stephen Lovegrove
There is only one home to the life of a river-mussel; there is only one home to the life of a tortoise; there is only one shell to the soul of man: there is only one world to the spirit of our race. If that world leaves its course and smashes on boulders of the great void, whose world will give us shelter? ~ Wole Soyinka
World Hunger quotes by Wole Soyinka
Do you remember the church across the sands? You stood outside and planned to travel the lands, where the pilgrims go. So you packed your world up inside a canvas sack, set off down the highway with your rings and Kerouac. Someone said they saw you in Nepal a long time back. Tell me why you look away, don't you have a word to say? ~ Al Stewart
World Hunger quotes by Al Stewart
Are you letting culture, not scripture, determine your sexuality, how you date, how you present yourself, how you engage in certain relationships with members of the opposite sex? We need to be very clear that the way we do life is different than the rest of the world. ~ Mark Driscoll
World Hunger quotes by Mark Driscoll
Facts are rarely self-explanatory; their significance, analysis, and interpretation - at least in the foreign policy world - depend on context and relevance. ~ Henry Kissinger
World Hunger quotes by Henry Kissinger
My focus in 2010 was on just running fast races. My focus in 2011 was for winning at the World Championships. This year has been a combination of the two so we'll see what kind of time it brings. ~ David Rudisha
World Hunger quotes by David Rudisha
In the Church, when we talk about 'the world', we often create an us and them situation and end up planting the seeds of all that we feel wrong with the world in the soil of our own backyard. ~ Steve Scott
World Hunger quotes by Steve Scott
It is the world, my boy," he said. "All the World, in ink and blood, vellum and parchment, leather and hide. It is the World, and it is yours to save or lose. ~ James A. Owen
World Hunger quotes by James A. Owen
Suffering is the condition on which we live. And when it comes you know it. You know it as the truth. Of course it's right to cure diseases, to prevent hunger and injustice, as the social organism does. But no society can change the nature of its existence. We can't prevent suffering. This pain and that pain, yes, but not Pain. A society can only relieve social suffering - unnecessary suffering. The rest remains. The root, the reality. ~ Ursula K. Le Guin
World Hunger quotes by Ursula K. Le Guin
Remember, once more how our world should be. And please, don't forget, please, please don't forget. ~ Ayumi Hamasaki
World Hunger quotes by Ayumi Hamasaki
Our real battlefield today is Asia and our real battle is the one between democracy and communism ... We have to prove to the world and particularly to downtrodden areas of the world which are the natural prey to the principles of communist economics that democracy really brings about happier and better conditions for the people as a whole. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
World Hunger quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
She's under duress," Peaseblossom said.
"I don't care if she's under duress, over it, or alongside it," Moth said. "Nothing in this world supersedes cake. ~ Lisa Mantchev
World Hunger quotes by Lisa Mantchev
So long as there is imperialism in the world, a permanent peace is impossible. ~ Hassan Nasrallah
World Hunger quotes by Hassan Nasrallah
Here's a 165-year old but still fitting comment on public officials who are so sure they're right that they'll drive over a cliff rather than compromise:
"Always to be right, always to trample forward, and never to doubt – are not these the great qualities with which dullness takes the lead in the world?" William Makepeace Thackeray, Vanity Fair: a Novel without a Hero (1848).

The author's middle name really was "Makepeace." As the quote shows, he disliked those who would not. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
World Hunger quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Ah, love, let us be true To one another! for the world, which seems To lie before us like a land of dreams, So various, so beautiful, so new, Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light, Nor certitude, nor peace, nor help for pain; ~ Ray Bradbury
World Hunger quotes by Ray Bradbury
I sat forward and picked up a piece of the jet engine. I think we get the world we deserve. People who love get love back, and people who hate, or fear, they get those back too. ~ Jeri Smith-Ready
World Hunger quotes by Jeri Smith-Ready
There is nothing so entirely desirable in all the world as a few hours oblivion. ~ Anne Reeve Aldrich
World Hunger quotes by Anne Reeve Aldrich
I know there are evil things in this world. The trick is to notice them when they are standing right in front of you. ~ Shannon Ryan
World Hunger quotes by Shannon   Ryan
[W]e are not morally bad people for taking carbon and turning it into the energy that offers life to humanity in a world that would otherwise be brutal (think of life before modernity). On the contrary, we are good people for doing so. ~ John Christy
World Hunger quotes by John Christy
He realized that he needed a clear mind and clear emotion to draw and execute well from the beginning to the end of his work. We draw our most potent creativity from deep wells. That is not to say we cannot exercise energy as we execute. But we often mistake time pressures, stress and deadlines, alongside the cacophony of an always-on world, as the necessary stimuli to create great work. I believe great work comes from a place of stillness where one's focus is total on the action in hand, directed fully by the heart. ~ Alan Moore
World Hunger quotes by Alan Moore
World War II was a decisive time in our history and June 6, 1944, marked the decisive moment of the war. ~ Lane Evans
World Hunger quotes by Lane Evans
Everybody in the world is seeking happiness - and there is one sure way to find it. That is by controlling your thoughts. Happiness doesn't depend on outward conditions. It depends on inner conditions. ~ Dale Carnegie
World Hunger quotes by Dale Carnegie
One would have thought that if there was one cause in the world which the Conservative party would have hastened to defend, it would be the cause of the British Empire in India ... Our fight is hard. It will also be long ... But win or lose, we must do our duty. If the British people are to lose their Indian Empire, they shall do so with their eyes open. ~ Winston Churchill
World Hunger quotes by Winston Churchill
What we want to do is reform the welfare system in the way that Tony Blair talked about 13 years ago but never achieved - a system that was created for the days after the Second World War. That prize is now I think achievable. ~ Iain Duncan Smith
World Hunger quotes by Iain Duncan Smith
The world of ideas is not revealed to us in one stroke; we must both permanently and unceasingly recreate it in our consciousness. ~ Rene Thom
World Hunger quotes by Rene Thom
His lips press into mine in a kiss meant to make the world fade away.
And it delivers. ~ Rachel Harris
World Hunger quotes by Rachel Harris
The modern world detests authority but worships relevance. Our Christian conviction is that the Bible has both authority and relevance, and that the secret of both is Jesus Christ ~ John Stott
World Hunger quotes by John Stott
But why didn't Gram tell us our mother wore a perfume that smelled like sunshine? That she slept in the garden in the springtime? That she made pesto with walnuts? why did she keep this real-life mother from us? But as soon as I ask the question, I know the answer, because suddenly there is not blood pumping in my veins, coursing all throughout my body, but longing for a mother who loves lilacs. Longing like I've never had for the Paige walker who wanders that world. That Paige Walker never made me feel like a daughter, but a mother who boils water for pasta does. Except don't you need to be claimed to be a daughter? Don't you need to be loved? ~ Jandy Nelson
World Hunger quotes by Jandy Nelson
God gave each of us a soul, which is a candle that He gives us to illuminate our surroundings with His light," the Rebbe taught at a 1990 worldwide Chanukah satellite linkup. "We must not only illuminate the inside of homes, but also the outside, and the world at large. ~ Joseph Telushkin
World Hunger quotes by Joseph Telushkin
To me, it is one world, and the non-human animals bear the brunt of oppression and suffering. ~ Ingrid Newkirk
World Hunger quotes by Ingrid Newkirk
Back in the time when life was easy, the Internet would have told me what I needed to know. The great thing about the Internet was it didn't care why you were asking. ~ Susan Beth Pfeffer
World Hunger quotes by Susan Beth Pfeffer
We all have a fight - some an easy one, and some a big one, and if you have formed the idea that there is a kind of dividing line in the world, and that on the one side is the good, and on the other side the bad, why, all I can say is that you have a wrong notion of things. ~ Susan Glaspell
World Hunger quotes by Susan Glaspell
