The world's response to proverb

 The world's response to the tsunami was the best ever. Governments, the private sector, and individuals around the world opened their hearts and their wallets. Private donations for the tsunami eclipsed anything seen before.

 I would expect the world, those with capacity, to give generously and give willingly, and I'm not just speaking to the governments but also to the private sector and individuals who can contribute,
  Kofi Annan

 There was an unparalleled level of initial giving after the tsunami, and the Internet has made donations even easier. But the donations are only as valuable as their use: aid agencies need to be able to account for how efficiently and effectively they use donations, and for how timely their response is.
  Peter Walker

 The world's response to the tsunami was the best ever.

 I am absolutely disgusted. After the tsunami, our people, even the ones who lost everything, wanted to help the others who were suffering. Not a single tourist caught in the tsunami was mugged. Now with all this happening in the U.S., we can easily see where the civilized part of the world's population is.

 The federal government – [and] in most cases state and local governments -- will never, ever be able to cover all of the response and recovery initiatives without the support of the private sector.

 You've heard the phrase it's a race against time. Indeed we are. In the next few weeks the snow will come, it will get extremely cold and there are some people in the open without shelter and we really need to get assistance to them. We need the support of governments, the private citizens, private sector and anyone who can spare a euro, a pound or a dollar.

 Hurricane Katrina may be second only to the Asian tsunami in the amount of devastation, destruction and human suffering, . A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. .. And just as with the tsunami, unprecedented destruction and suffering calls for an outpouring of generous response.

 Strip away inventories and the government sector, and private-sector demand really wasn't that strong -- private-sector sales were up just 0.8 percent. We're still in a transition phase and not on a sustainable growth path yet.

 It seems the whole world has reached out, and continues to reach out. That's been the success of the work of the tsunami -- it's been a world-wide effort.

 In spite of my Peace Corps background, my heart really is in the private sector. The commercial world is something that the nonprofit sector can't ignore.

 Ron allowed us to see right away the private piece of a person about to become very public. I suspect we're going to see more of her very private world - Laura's private experience. I'm not sure yet how public she's going to be about the actions she's going to have to take.

 We know that there has been some excellent work by governments and nongovernmental organizations in the wake of the tsunami -- the speed and scale of the response meant that lives were saved and many predicted outbreaks of epidemics were contained -- but it is not enough.

 Africa, Asia, every country in the world, they were all in denial. The health ministers kept assuring us they had everything under control. (Gayle) kept pushing . . . to get programs, strengthen the private sector, the public sector. She just never gave up.
