The big majority of ordspråk

The big majority of Americans, who are comparatively well off, have developed an ability to have enclaves of people living in the greatest misery without almost noticing them

Gunnar Myrdal (1898-)

Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

Why should we be frightened? No people who have ever lived on this earth have fought harder, paid a higher price for freedom, or done more to advance the dignity of man than the living Americans, those Americans living in this land today.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

A majority of Americans living today, a surprisingly small majority because of the large youthful population, still remembers Watergate. And when we hear the word eavesdropping, those of us who lived during Watergate, we think of the nefarious activities of the Nixon administration.

Larry Sabato

The U.S. and the world have a vital interest in improving the lives of a billion people living in misery. Ending suffering and keeping children alive, healthy and educated are goals Americans clearly support, ... The Bush Administration's shameful move to abandon the Millennium Development Goals undermines U.S. interests and casts adrift the poorest people on this planet.

Betty McCollum

We, African-Americans, need to be more conscious of Africa. Africa will not get out of its economic hole until African-Americans start working with Africa. We've got the money. We need to go back home to our people and free them from their misery and suffering.

Harry Alford

There's something very special about this production. The characters are really well-developed. I think one of the differences in this production also is that the dancing has more ballet in it. The dancing is excellent, and people are noticing that.

One of the greatest sorrows of human exisence is that some people aren't happy merely to be alive but find their happiness only in the misery of others.

Dean Koontz (1945-)

The entire American standard of living is artificially high right now, resting on the ability of Americans to borrow money from foreigners.

Peter Schiff (1924-)

What this president has done in conducting a secretive, deceitful, highly costly war which has taken our attention off the very people who represent our greatest threat. They are not living in Iraq. They are living in the mountains between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Bob Graham

The key here is the focus on local news. Local TV news is the single greatest source of information for the majority of Americans - whether it be politics or health - and understanding what sorts of health information people are being exposed to demands that we analyze the content of this most prevalent source.

Ken Goldstein (1962-)

It's a global issue. We are living in a global world. People are moving from less developed countries to more developed countries.

Gail Golden

We're not talking about creating 20/20 vision for people who had been barely light receptive. But the ability to navigate a living room is quite a success for someone who has lost that ability.

David McComb

It is proof of a base and low mind for one to wish to think with the masses or majority, merely because the majority is the majority. Truth does not change because it is, or is not, believed by a majority of the people.

Giordano Bruno (1548-1600)

Sanning

More and more Americans feel threatened by runaway technology, by large-scale organization, by overcrowding. More and more Americans are appalled by the ravages of industrial progress, by the defacement of nature, by man-made ugliness. If our society continues at its present rate to become less livable as it becomes more affluent, we promise all to end up in sumptuous misery.

John W. Gardner (1912-2002)
