“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
“Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.”
Helen Keller
“We should measure welfare's success by how many people leave welfare, not by how many are added”
Ronald Reagan
“The assumption that spending more of the taxpayer's money will make things better has survived all kinds of evidence that it has made things worse. The black family- which survived slavery, discrimination, poverty, wars and depressions- began to come apart as the federal government moved in with its well-financed programs to "help."”
Thomas Sowell
“Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyses us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives. Our problem is not to be rid of fear but, rather to harness and master it.”
Martin Luther King Jr.
“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
“Children and dogs are as necessary to the welfare of the country as Wall Street and the railroads.”
Harry S Truman
