I have nothing but contempt for the kind of governor who is afraid, for whatever reason, to follow the course that he knows is best for the State; and as for the man who sets private friendship above the public welfare - I have no use for him either.

Sophocles

When people can fulfill their potential they become innovators. The innovative economy is competitive and makes it possible to finance the welfare state, which is not just a cost, but a sustainable basis for the economy, producing new innovators with social protection.

Pekka Himanen

The condition and welfare of earthquake survivors remains a matter of serious concern for the UN and all other humanitarian partners on the ground. But we are vigilant, ready and prepared to assist.

Jill Robinson

People, who rise above their petty individual selfishness and work for the welfare of society are considered patriots.

Sam Veda

We are not bothered by the threats that cases will be filed against us. If they're going to file cases now, let them go to the courts now. These are desperate moves by people who can't offer anything for the welfare of the people.

Raul Lambino

All this had been accomplished without giving the appearance of bullying Korea that could raise questions in the United States about Japan's true intentions. In short, Japan could plausibly cite humanitarian concern for the welfare of overseas Koreans that would on the surface appear to be legitimate.

Wayne Patterson

We needed to make a dramatic change in the way we approach welfare housing, ... There has been an increasing demand for welfare housing, while the actual supply of homes has continued to dwindle.

Isaac Herzog

If the welfare state is here to welcome them, the solution is to get rid of it, as should have been done long ago. Overpopulation is a problem for socialist systems, not for free societies. In fact, the welfare system may be more destructive [to] the immigrants' families than to the natives.

Joseph Sobran

Though the country has long included all disabled and orphaned children in its welfare system, practically only those nursed in charity organizations have been attended to.

Dou Yupei

During dental diagnosis and treatment, you can see the bad effects of smoking, such as making periodontal disease harder to heal. Advice from dentists to give up smoking is effective, and I would like the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare to consider relaxing its response and allowing prescriptions as an exception.

Yuko Takahashi

We conducted a surprise inspection on December 21, I believe, regarding a complaint that we received from PETA. And our veterinary medical officer found the animals were in good health. There are no violations of the Animal Welfare Act.

Darby Holladay

The average length of time that a child remains in New York city's child welfare system is 49 months, which is astronomically long.

Marsha Lowry

This is not a mistake. It was the explicit intent of Congress to expand coverage to working families. The original sin of social policy was tying Medicaid directly to welfare. Now, it's tied to working.

Ron Haskins

The welfare culture tells the man he is not a necessary part of the family; he feels dispensable, his wife knows he is dispensable, his children sense it.

George Gilder

The American people are much more concerned about taxes, welfare, the deficit, crime, education, drugs, and way down somewhere low is that matter of nuclear weapon danger. So our task now is to convince the American people that it's more dangerous now than it was during the Cold War, and that's a fact.

Alan Cranston

The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future.

James Talent

The local NGOs, particularly the ones that deal with gender equality and children's welfare, had asked me to organize such a rally. I think we will do it early in March.

Cok Sawitri

That tells us the national AFL-CIO is in a desperate effort to protect its position in Kentucky and has very little regard for the welfare of the majority of people in this state. We fully expected this.

Brett Hall

This shift is bizarre, ... If welfare recipients can be denied their benefits because they fail to complete a benefits form properly, then I can't see the unfairness in requiring those who demand state support to defend their monopoly similarly by filling out a registration form.

Lawrence Lessig

Securing the long-term future of sustainable, welfare-friendly systems is essential if we are to build up over the longer-term livestock which are...resistant to the seemingly endless cycle of diseases that challenge our farming industry.

Patrick Holden

I'm a beast (on the football field). I see myself as a bodyguard. I'm personally responsible for the health and welfare of my quarterback. I'll do anything in my means to protect him.

D'brickashaw Ferguson

In all of this debate welfare of children is a very, very important issue, ... What we are not into is asking questions which somehow put a value on one gender over and above another.

Caroline Flint

Our first priority of course, is the safety and welfare of our guests.

Bill Warren

This is an obvious form of welfare for the rich.

Orrin Pilkey

Over time, you have a far better public policy. The family is able to get off the welfare rolls. Fathers are paying child support they're obligated to pay.

Milo Mumgaard

The council is challenged to work for the welfare of the city as a whole, not for a few individuals within the city that don't agree with us.

Councilman Norman Sugarman

I'm more concerned about the long-term welfare of his wife and daughter if he has to go to Iraq. All indications are he will.

Bill Clark

We sit around and we're happy when we have $300 in our savings account, but when you graduate if you have $300 in your savings account you're on welfare.

Nate Smith

State government is facing real fiscal challenges. We have to show legislators that we can provide a good return on their investment.

Robert Golden

The security and welfare of all people by political and educational and other activities.

Reid Weingarten

The welfare of the people is the ultimate law. (Salus Populi Suprema Est Lex).

Oskar Lafontaine

Iranian levers of influence include a broad network of informants, military and logistical support of armed groups, and social welfare campaigns.

Nawaf Obaid

As long as there are human rights to be defended; as long as there are great interests to be guarded; as long as the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, so long will public speaking have its place.

William Jennings Bryan

Access to social welfare is no longer a right to all, but a privilege for the few. The criminal government is to blame for all of this.

Viktor Yushchenko

It's kind of a precedent-setting situation. We believe the NCAA will look at the situation and we hope that they'll look out for the welfare of the student-athlete.

Tim Tessalone

We're concerned that other states will look at Wisconsin and say, 'Hey, they got their caseload down,' without looking at what happened to those families [that slid off the welfare rolls], ... We've got our work cut out for us in making sure the lessons of Wisconsin make it to Washington.

Marcus White

The welfare of our young is really everyone's business.

Gary Griffiths

There is a threat to this country from Christian missionaries who in the name of development and welfare activities are converting poor people, especially in tribal areas across the country.

Rajnath Singh

An individual, in promoting his own interest, may injure the public interest; a nation, in promoting the general welfare, may check the interest of a part of its members.

Friedrich List

This is the first experiment to show that chimps don't share the same concern for the welfare of others as do humans, who routinely donate blood ... volunteer for military duty and perform other acts that benefit perfect strangers.

Joan Silk

The initial reaction was to throw heaps and heaps of money at the problem. While you've had increases in welfare spending over the last 40 years, you've also had increases in the number of unwed mothers, increases in crime.

David Boaz

We cannot allow the continued rape of the land by polluters who would deplete our forests, scar our public lands, pollute our air and water and then have the tax code subsidize their destruction, ... This $17.8 billion in corporate welfare is unconscionable.

Pete Stark

The success of family welfare depends on giving women complete freedom with their lives. The need of the hour is that people should plan their families as per their convenience and get the bare minimum health facilities.

Atal Behari Vajpayee

We don't know who they are, why they're there, what kind of therapy they're receiving, or who they have access to. From a child welfare perspective, what the church is asking everyone to do is trust them. There's enough information out there and enough research finding about pedophiles that certainly suggests there's a high rate of recidivism.

Bryan Samuels

He's still suffering from the effects of it and we thought it best for him if he returned to New Zealand and made a full recovery. We can't compromise on a player's welfare and health.

Greg Cooper

It really went, I think, to the heart of some of the issues of welfare reform.

Monty Martin

Various companies have sought refundable credits, and those have been rejected as essentially corporate welfare or handouts based not on economics but solely based on special pleadings.

Lenny Goldberg

He didn't want welfare. He didn't want Social Security.

John Gadd

I think what it speaks to is that romance has its practical and even Machiavellian and manipulative nature. People look out for their own welfare, and they'll do things that make it easier for them.

Pepper Schwartz

The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.

Charles de Montesquieu

We're pleased that they (USDA inspectors) did go out there but still feel cautious about this situation because the regulations that the USDA enforces are minimum, and I emphasize minimum. In cases where they declare that there are no violations of the Animal Welfare Act, animals can still be languishing in really abysmal conditions.

Lisa Wathne

The U.S. and Cuban travel restrictions reflect an utter disregard for the welfare of families. Both countries are sacrificing people's freedom of movement to promote dead-end policies.

Jose Miguel Vivanco

We take action such as this to protect the safety and welfare of the residents. This is an open AHCA investigation. (The closing) is based on our investigation.

Jonathan Burns

An active welfare state must provide a floor below which no one should be allowed to fall, but its primary role must be to enable people to provide for themselves.

John Hutton

The growth model the country followed for 25 years has been successful in terms of expansion and economic diversification, but it has not generated a parallel increase in social welfare.

Ciska Raventós

The resolution is an all-out attack on the women of Tennessee and seeks to rob women of their right to make choices about their own health, safety and personal welfare.

Hedy Weinberg

The expectation was that the only problem with people on welfare was that they didn't have a job. What we found is that there is part of the population that has very significant barriers, real deficits that are stopping them from being successful.

Monty Martin

For decades the industry has been marketing and slaughtering downed animals for food with a reckless disregard for animal welfare and human health, ... In the absence of legislation, we're concerned that this problem will continue.

Gene Bauston

We have two tough games in the space of five days, so it's up to us as coaches to manage the players' welfare during that period without, hopefully, weakening the team and we can do that with the likes of McCarthy coming in for Finegan and Thompson for Long, so that the guys will still be fresh when the Leicester game comes around.

Peter Walton

No one in New Jersey, and few people nationwide, have shown as keen an understanding of what's wrong with child welfare, and what needs to be done to fix it, as Kevin Ryan. But the big question to me is: Will he be allowed the time to do the job?

Richard Wexler

There is no more fundamental obligation of a government than to protect those who cannot protect themselves: namely, our children. The failure of government in this instance to safeguard the health and welfare of these children is beyond excuse, it is sickening.

James Mcgreevey

If we don't do something, then the next time you see us, we'll be in the welfare line. There are so many people here hurting.

Jimmy Jones

He is recognized as the mayor who led the city from being described as ungovernable to being an international symbol of urban renaissance. Why? Because of the unprecedented record reductions in taxes, homicides and welfare numbers, and the improvement in the quality of life for all New Yorkers.

Sunny Mindel

Sam was the epitome of a community newspaper publisher, ... He was courageous, he was extremely interested in the community and its welfare and success, and his independence contributed greatly to making the Courier what it is today.

Greg Brown

I thought he felt sore and my only concern was for the horse's welfare.

Glen Boss

I believe this housing issue has brought our community to a tipping point, ... We're compromising our health, safety and welfare.

Randy Hall

This rejection is gratifying and shows that public welfare is still behind the decision-making process. We are grateful to all those who participated in voicing their rejection to this amendment and hope that this line of communication always stays open.

Royal Society

[Fraley wasn't about to let it happen, so he saved a program with a proud history and the athletic dreams of what will be hundreds of college kids.] We're just ecstatic that he would do this, ... but we're just a little concerned for the welfare of him and his wife.

Chris Campbell

Not the ones who were on welfare. Not the ones who didn't have jobs.

Mary Hunt

Right now the department claims it has 1,863 filled positions, but they probably have about 120 positions and more that are vacant, that need to be filled. This has had an impact on every aspect of the system. Child welfare, unlike other types of services can't be done by automated machine. You can't call a 1-800 number; it's very labor intensive.

Linda Heisner

The department believes we have carefully considered advantages and disadvantages to consolidating child welfare service offices in West Hawaii. We have assessed that relocation and consolidation is necessary to improve the supervision and management of the staff and enhance the highest quality of service to provide to the families.

Amy Tsark

We are truly honored to receive this award from the Child Welfare League of America. Like the League, we are an organization comprised of individuals that put children first. We share your passion and appreciate the recognition you have provided us this evening.

Kevin Hyman

Think Adoption First is the right thing to do, and we are absolutely committed to making this work, to the benefit of adoptable animals and our community animal welfare partners.

James Myers

Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun.

Grover Norquist

A man ought to work. That's what he's here for. That's how he contributes to the welfare of the community.

W. Somerset Maugham

Child welfare is still such a mess. We need someone responsible for child welfare who answers directly to the governor.

Susan Lambiase

As the Republican platforms says, the welfare of the farmer is vital to that of the whole country.

William Howard Taft

If you don't have a job, what do you got? We've got nothing. I think most people want work, not welfare.

Bill Gluba

LAP, n. One of the most important organs of the female system -- an admirable provision of nature for the repose of infancy, but chiefly useful in rural festivities to support plates of cold chicken and heads of adult males. The male of our species has a rudimentary lap, imperfectly developed and in no way contributing to the animal's substantial welfare.

Ambrose Bierce

It was the right thing to do. What we can do for our partners in animal welfare across the country, they may one day need to do for us.

Sarah Cohen

P.P.COM should have protected every pre-paid or fixed-price customer with a firm contract from a supplier. No one in the industry should be allowed to put its customers' welfare at risk by speculating on oil prices.

Mike Crosby

The health of American families built upon marriage affects us all. And this is why the president's plan to use a modest portion of welfare funding to invest in building stronger marriages in America is good social policy.

Matt Daniels

Coach Davis assumed one of most difficult challenges any coach can accept - following a legendary predecessor. He has responded to these challenges with character, graciousness, with concern for the welfare of his players and with a determination to raise our program into the ranks of the very best in the nation.

Adam Herbert

The ultimate combination of protectionism, corporate welfare and government waste.

Jim Ramstad

Most of our clients are suicidal, psychotic, bipolar, schizophrenic or sex offenders. They make an income of less than $3,000 a year and have been kicked off welfare. They need medicine, but cannot afford it. Many have been abused or in prison and have been addicted to crack and alcohol.

Connie Wilson

It's targeted toward people on welfare for a long time. It is not likely to just reward companies for people they would have hired anyway, but rather to provide those companies who are trying to do the right thing.

Gene Sperling

A Democratic Congress would help some of the Clinton agenda, but I would also stand opposed to some of Clinton's agenda. Clinton signed off on a welfare bill that I do not think is a good bill. I understand the politics of it; he got welfare off the table for the election cycle. Clinton himself admits its a bad bill and amendments must be made.

John Murray

She's bent on educating our customers. She's trying to grow the business but is also very concerned about their welfare and getting them on the right track, not just about selling products.

Rick Teegarden

The harsh reality is in many instances they're actually better off on welfare.

Don Drummond

The Welfare to Work program has worked.

Jane Adams

Community-based enrollment is the true success story of New York's program, and it has changed people's perceptions of Medicaid to be health insurance, not welfare, ... Without it, enrollment will shut down. The social service offices will not be able to absorb the crush of people they'll get, and a lot of people will just give up if they have to go to those offices again.

Anne Marie

None of these things like welfare even entered our minds, ... Whatever we eat, she is going to have her share. Whatever roof we have, she will have.

Sunder Rajan

The Constitution is not a panacea for every blot upon the public welfare, nor should this Court, ordained as a judicial body, be thought of as a general haven for reform movements.

Dr. John Marshall

But raising tuition has a negative impact on enrollment. It's a delicate business issue, in addition to the politics and student welfare.

Provost Hobson Wildenthal

Our employer-based social-welfare system is collapsing.

Alicia Munnell

I've never applied for any (assistance) programs, ... I make just enough where we don't qualify for welfare or anything.

Mary Cole

The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.

Avram Noam Chomsky

But this year there is a new alternative: the Left Party, which advocates a bigger welfare state.

Werner Patzelt

Its success lies in the fact that it's an insurance plan, not an investment plan or a welfare plan.

James Roosevelt

It was a great experience to grow up in the Depression. If one didn't work, one didn't have money. There was no welfare to fall back on.

Anthony Stasio

The peace and welfare of this and coming generations of Americans will be secure only as we cling to the watchword of true patriotism: "Our country -- when right to be kept right; when wrong to be put right."

Carl Schurz

In the old world that is passing, in the new world that is coming, national efficiency has been and will be a controlling factor in national safety and welfare.

Gifford Pinchot

If you want to get people off of welfare and stay off of welfare, it's better to help them pay for child care.

Pam Davis

These are the cases in which intense public scrutiny is focused on child welfare agencies. If those agencies can't even do well by these children, imagine what happens to the hundreds of thousands of children, almost all of them anonymous, taken each year and thrown into foster care.

Richard Wexler

Most child welfare agencies tend to embrace secrecy because the people who lead them tend to be mediocre and don't want you to see how poor a job they are doing.

Richard Wexler

Bad schools, crime, drugs, high taxes, the social security mess, racism, the health care ? crisis? unemployment, welfare state dependency, illegitimacy, the gap between rich and poor. What do these issues have in common? Politicians, the media, and our so-called "leaders" lie to us about them. They lie about the cause. They lie about the effect. They lie about the solutions.

Larry Elder

I consider my welfare days as a positive experience, ... It was a problem to solve.

Christine King

She had not threatened anyone, but other employees were concerned for her welfare.

Randy Degasperin

It's just another misguided publicity stunt by PETA to create a vegan society. KFC is very committed to the humane treatment of chickens and we're very proud of our industry leading animal welfare guidelines.

Laurie Schalow

We came here to check out the welfare of the animals. If they are not well, we'll keep them until they are well.

Nancy Howell

Look around, and you see everywhere the exertions and acts of individuals restricted, regulated, or promoted, on the principle of the common welfare.

Friedrich List

The Department of State places the highest priority on the welfare of children who have been victimized by international abductions.

Phil Reeker

Generally speaking, if you're going to divide a pie, it's better to have a bigger pie. It's only natural that if the country gets richer, there are more demands from citizens for greater social benefits. But the best solution would be to balance the demand for social welfare services with the ability to grow the economy up to its potential growth rate.

Thomas Byrne

The welfare of the planet and its environment is paramount. But what we do, and do equally and evenhandedly, is more difficult to identify. I have no doubt in mind that President Bush is serious in his determination to reexamine the overall issue and that would include reexamining the language of the Kyoto treaty.

Howard Baker

We were willing to cooperate for a certain amount of things. We were willing to share our knowledge. We were very happy if some Myanmar groups got involved in the welfare of detainees.

Fiona Terry

It's nothing but a welfare program, and welfare programs generally don't work. Besides, we simply can't afford it.

Don Reid

At H-E-B, we think that literacy provides a platform for people to reflect and build community, not only from reading but from writing. As good corporate citizens, we're concerned about the welfare of our customers.

Pablo Rodriguez

Welfare and dependency grants, personal income tax relief, and cuts in those costs which would make housing more affordable for middle and low income earners are likely to buoy consumption expenditure, and manufacturing.

Colen Garrow

Not everyone qualifies for welfare.

Miriam Skaar

Public welfare trumps individuals' and businesses' rights. We owe it to our children, we owe it to the public to pass this measure. It's the right thing to do. It's the right time to do it.

Jim Curry

Cruelty to animals needs to be a matter of public concern as it directly affect public safety and human welfare. It can no longer be perceived of as merely an issue of animal welfare.

Diane Balkin

I think if you want welfare reform in Europe, people are going to have to start taking some of that moral high ground and not simply just looking at the figures.

Roderick Nye

Ninety percent of these people come to work, not to commit crimes or be on welfare.

Luis Sanchez

I don't think it's a journalist's job to issue shopping lists or policy descriptions. We're supposed to show people how the world is, to give them the tools they need to make good decisions as citizens or consumers. Depending on what your values are — the environment, your health, animal welfare — the answers are going to be different for every person.

Michael Pollan

A state employing large percentages of its offenders will enjoy higher economic growth and civilian employment, lower crime, taxes, and welfare burdens, and less social division than an otherwise identical state employing only a few of them.

Thomas Petersik

People think that their vote counts. They go to college, and everything gets mixed up. People stop caring, ... They raise the gas prices, but what the Everyman makes and welfare never seem to keep up. The HMO system is so ridiculous. I'm slightly educated. No one wants to hear what Hilary Duff thinks of the economy.

Shia Labeouf

There is a lot of merit in studying abnormal behaviors just in terms of figuring out ways to control them for the welfare of both companion animals and those bred for production agriculture. Another benefit is that if animal abnormal behavior is caused in the same way as in humans, then we may have a whole new range of model animals for studying human mental disorders.

Joseph Garner

The minimum wage initiative speaks to whether we value work. Raising Montana's minimum wage to $6.15 an hour will allow more workers to support their families, more families to make ends meet and more Montanans to go to work instead of going on welfare. That saves taxpayers money.

Jon Tester

I took an oath, not to protect unions, but to do what is in the best interest to protect the welfare of the citizens of Palm Springs. When I look at the people who are employed there and the million-dollar tax base it's brought in, how could I in clear conscience say no? I am a Democrat to the core, but I am an independent thinker.

Ron Oden

The report provides overwhelming evidence that the Byrd amendment has turned into a giant corporate and welfare program where a few large companies are reaping millions of dollars in subsidies based on overstated and unaudited qualifying expenditures.

Steve Alexander

The lack of funds and manpower are to blame for the sluggish growth of Chinese NGOs. But if the experiment succeeds, there will be a brand new area for these public welfare organizations.

Tang Min

It should not be a source of low-cost financing for countries with ready access to private capital, or long-term welfare for countries that cannot break the habit of bad policies.

Lawrence Summers

I was just concerned about my own welfare. I hope this might prevent someone else from falling into this trap.

Doris Williams

Whether you're a Sheryl Crow fan or Melissa Etheridge fan, or you're just concerned about the welfare of women all over the world, come out and support this day and have a great time.

Leroy Shafer

This administration and these folk who run Washington are no more interested in our welfare and our well being than the man on the moon. And we have got to start taking our destiny into our hands.

Tavis Smiley

ICE is committed to using our law enforcement authorities to dismantle the methods criminals use to earn, move and store illicit funds. Our goal, as the primary investigative agency in the Department of Homeland Security, is to disrupt and deter activities that pose a threat to our nation' s welfare and public safety.

Leigh Winchell

It is my deliberate opinion that the one essential requisite of human welfare in all ways is scientific knowledge of human nature.

Harriet Martineau

When their welfare check doesn't arrive by the first of the month and they run out of baby formula, they borrow from a neighbor, ... If you say they have to move, they not only have to rebuild the physical structure of their lives, but they have to put together something much more complicated, which are these networks.

Ari Kelman

The majority feel the immigration debate is somewhat unfair and based on misinformation -- for example, that most undocumented are on welfare, which is not true. Legal immigrants feel there is a thin line between anti-undocumented and anti-immigrant.

Sergio Bendixen

If the pageant's welfare was better served, you had to make a move. Today, it's exactly the situation they're in.

Leonard Horn

If a few of these are unavoidable, tariff caps should be imposed on them. Otherwise exemptions will simply derail market access however large the cut in tariffs and most of the potential welfare gains from global agricultural reform will simply not materialize.

Will Martin

Our clubs should also have a number of technical sponsors who could cater for such things as transport and other welfare benefits for their players and staff.

Joseph Goromonzi

But the reality is that there are significant gaps in processing capacity here and demand for live cattle on the continent. We would far rather that demand was met by UK cattle where the transport is strictly regulated to ensure the highest standards of welfare.

James Withers

The proper evaluation of a circumstance like that is critical to the welfare of the dog.

Dave Fulbright

Far more has been accomplished for the welfare and progress of mankind by preventing bad actions than by doing good ones.

William Lyon Mackenzie King

For women who turn to welfare, Big Brother becomes Husband.

Tammy Bruce

There was this longer term issue of sorts of the protecting the health and welfare of student athletes here. And, I simply want to do everything I can do keep this from happening again.

Richard Wilson

The magnitude of this just stops you in your tracks. It's really brought the animal welfare community together. Normally, each agency tends to be a bit territorial. Not now.

Cory Smith

This plan is fiercely controversial and, if the government pursues it, we are sure to have stormy years ahead, outbreaks of violent rebellion, vehement Palestinian resistance and tremendous costs that probably will not leave anything for our own welfare.

Yaron London

There is no threat to the town of Oracle. There are about 250 campers that were set to start in there today, and so we've contacted them and asked them to initiate a precautionary evacuation because we're concerned about their welfare.

Jeff Whitney

The call actually came in as a mental subject call as officers were responding. The mother had called, concerned for her son's welfare. We're familiar with the house as we've responded as recently as last week under similar conditions.

Pam Olshanski

Not only because of the animals welfare but certainly also the public welfare. Given the link between animal fighting and interpersonal crime.

Dan Paden

In our perception there is tremendous underlying interest in sustainable production and locally-sourced food which are rightly seen as offering potential solutions to current debates about protecting the environment, food security, animal welfare and other issues.

Patrick Holden

It looks good on the surface, but it is going to hurt people trying to get their first job and hurt the unskilled workers that can least afford to get hurt. It will price them out of the job market and put them on welfare and then it will cost all of us.

Jim Holt

This election serves as a national referendum on whether you are for or against the postal privatization. Unless we privatize the postal system, we cannot reform our social welfare.

Tsutomu Takebe

I knew that she had committed welfare fraud and perjury, ... and I wanted her on the witness stand. I didn't want anything done to discourage her from testifying.

Tom Mesereau

But the general welfare must restrict and regulate the exertions of the individuals, as the individuals must derive a supply of their strength from social power.

Friedrich List

Options create an incentive for people to work hard. But if they don't diversify, then they have their net worth and their livelihood tied up to the welfare of one company.

Mark Groesbeck

One, who earns leadership of the masses by working ceaselessly for people's welfare finally realizes that he has been rewarded with many added advantages.

Atharva Veda

He asked if I would establish a workshop to help these Holocaust survivors get their dignity back, get off welfare.

David Silver

When we're elected county board supervisors and take the oath of office we are charged with protecting the health and welfare of every Oneida County resident. This is a safety issue, I'm voting yes.

Jack Young

The lives of infected children are completely dependent on social welfare and support.

Gu Yuan

The university remains committed to the safety of all of its students and the welfare of all of its students, but the university is not a mind reader.

Larry Pozner

It's going to be terrible for everybody, including welfare recipients, ... The states are simply not going to be able to afford to produce as many of the jobs that are needed.

Clay Shaw

The government will have to ensure that its welfare-to-work measures do as much as possible to engage employers and encourage them to recruit people.

John Philpott

For years I thought what was good for our country was good for General Motors and vice versa. The difference did not exist. Our company is too big. It goes with the welfare of the country.

Charles Erwin Wilson

Before Giuliani, New York politics had been mostly about striking caring poses in the course of paying off interest groups, ... Liberal mayors like Lindsay and Dinkins spoke endlessly of what the city owed the poor, but they delivered rising rates of crime and welfare. Theirs was the sovereignty of words over deeds.

Fred Siegel

I'm so happy to be part of the animal welfare effort in this community. It is so important to take care of those defenseless animals that are in need of a warm, safe place to stay while waiting to be adopted into loving homes.

Mary Becker

Civil liberty is the status of the man who is guaranteed by law and civil institutions the exclusive employment of all his own powers for his own welfare.

William Graham Sumner

Too many people feel that where you start out dictates where you should end up. I was on welfare and just shy of 19 when my first daughter was born, but I was encouraged to take advantage of my ability and drive and remained in school.

Gwen Moore

By applying for and receiving Health Utilization Management accreditation, APS Healthcare has demonstrated a commitment to quality health care. Quality health care is crucial to our nation's welfare and it is important to have organizations that are willing to measure themselves against national standards.

Charles Stellar

This service will bring immense relief to the thousands of people who have their relatives across the Line of Control and are desperate to know about their welfare.

Mehbooba Mufti

This initiative has been more effective than any other at getting people off of the welfare rolls in this country. If the current administration or the next continues to talk about revamping the tax system in this country, I urge them to keep the EITC. The tax preparation process should be streamlined, especially for households who qualify for EITC, so that tax fraud is more easily detected.

Within weeks of signing federal legislation that siphons off more than $39 billion from essential health and human service programs including Medicaid, Child Support and Child Welfare services, the President released a budget that assures, yet again, that Pennsylvania's vulnerable citizens as well as state and local governments will be asked to shoulder an undue and growing fiscal burden.

Doug Hill

We're always going to be committed to animal welfare on every level, strays, owner surrenders, etc.

Cal Morgan

We debated long and hard about the issues over remounting. We felt that a ban would be using a sledgehammer to crack a nut and were confident that the welfare of the horse would remain at the forefront of owners', trainers' and jockeys' minds. We will be keeping the situation under constant review and would not rule out any further changes or amendments in the future.

Malcolm Wallace

Some people saw (the 1-euro jobs) as a welcome way of working and achieving some form of dignity. But those who had grown up in the German welfare system found it humiliating to be doing serious work and only paid a euro.

[Thomas Jefferson explained,] Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated. ... If Congress can determine what constitutes the general welfare and can appropriate money for its advancement, where is the limitation to carrying into execution whatever can be effected by money?

William Drayton

Oldcastle Materials enjoys an enviable reputation in the industry for quality and excellence, as well its commitment to safety and the welfare of its employees. We chose to join Oldcastle because its values and corporate philosophy were right in line with our own when it comes to the value and regard it places on employees and its relationships with customers.

Michael Petrillo

[State child-welfare administrators presented plans Thursday to improve services for children and families they serve, but some critics said the plan wasnt going far enough.] To look at continuing to assess, define and take steps is not enough, ... It feels like a much more urgent situation than to just sit back and look any longer.

Paul Kelly

We don't have anything in the safety net other than welfare, which is why there's nothing else to catch them on the way down, so they end up on the welfare rolls -- which is inappropriate.

Don Drummond

I don't think consumers benefit from corporate welfare, and that's all that these proposals add up to. With energy prices as high as they are, we don't need to provide any incentives.

Jerry Taylor

We will be losing families who have contributed to our communities, ... We will be losing part of our economic welfare, but we will continue to attempt to bolster our community in ways that will make us successful.

David Gudgel

Alysha is very deserving of the award that exemplifies youth activism, ethics and bravery. We look for people who are working on making changes in our society and working with people on solutions to animal welfare. This definitely applies to Alysha.

Lisa Jennings

Our concern is the animal welfare aspect of this move (export) and in this case, the mortality of the wildlife during the capture, the transit and at the destination in Thailand.

Elizabeth Wamba

These data offer an important glimpse into the social fabric of this country. The implications of divorce cut across a number of societal issues, socioeconomics, health, and the welfare of our children.

Edward Sondik

It is both an acknowledgment of the history of what took place as well as an effective means of assisting elderly Hungarian Jewish survivors through the important social welfare projects to be administered by the Claims Conference.

Edgar Bronfman

All of our raw material suppliers must be approved by McDonald's and have to meet certain standards outlined by them. We conduct regular supplier audits on animal welfare and cleanliness; slaughterhouses must meet high standards as well. When and if we do find a problem, it is never a 'gotcha' scenario. We work together with our suppliers to resolve any problems.

Fred Sanchez

We've got no alternative but to transfer funds from defense to other priorities like welfare and education.

Zeev Holtzman

If today I had a young mind to direct, to start on the journey of life, and I was faced with the duty of choosing between the natural way of my forefathers and that of the... present way of civilization, I would, for its welfare, unhesitatingly set that child's feet in the path of my forefathers. I would raise him to be an Indian!

The Byrd Amendment virtually defines corporate welfare. This is a massive payola scheme that takes money out of the US Treasury and uses it to line the pockets of private companies that have done nothing to earn it except sign on to antidumping petitions that drive up prices for American consumers.

People need to be responsible for the adults that are in their care and custody. Steven clearly did not provide for the welfare of his own father.

Enrique Garcia

This petition seeks USDA action to force zoos to comply with the Animal Welfare Act, either by providing environments-hundreds of acres-that meet elephants' needs or by transferring them to sanctuaries with the space and natural habitat necessary for elephants to thrive.

Elliot Katz

The business community needs to continue to take the lead to move those still on welfare into jobs. Although the welfare rolls have fallen around the country, we know that they are falling slower in the cities than in the suburbs.
