Quote examples
Benjamin Franklin
American Politician
In my youth, I traveled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer.
Quote examples
Michael Arrington
American Businessman
Our independence from AOL was so important to me that I negotiated an extremely odd provision in our purchase agreement that allowed me to disclose confidential information about AOL. It was their job never to give me that information. It was not my job to protect it in any way.
Quote examples
Anna Lindh
Swedish Politician

Quote examples
Paul Romer
American Economist

Quote examples
Linda McCartney
American Photographer
I had daydreams and fantasies when I was growing up. I always wanted to live in a log cabin at the foot of a mountain. I would ride my horse to town and pick up provisions. Then return to the cabin, with a big open fire, a record player and peace.

Quote examples
Angus Deaton
British Economist
Economic growth is very important, but it is not the only thing, and it must be accompanied by sharing with those who are left behind, through effective social services and provision.
Quote examples
Jerry Costello
American Politician
In addition to the clean coal provisions, the energy conference agreement contains provisions instrumental in helping increase conservation and lowering consumption.
Quote examples
James Madison
American President
It is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to the provisions against danger, real or pretended, from abroad.
Quote examples
Luciana Berger
British Politician
It is overwhelmingly women who will plug the gaps in care provision, sacrificing paid employment to look after family members.
