Top Have And Have Nots Quotes

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Arun Manilal Gandhi

The ultimate object of education should be, Gandhi said, to help create not only a balanced and harmonious individual but also a balanced and harmonious society where true justice prevails, where there is no unnatural division between the haves and the have-nots, and where everybody is assured of a living wage and the right to live and the right to freedom. — Arun Manilal Gandhi

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Howard Rheingold

Soon the digital divide will not be between the haves and the have-nots. It will be between the know-hows and the non-know-hows. — Howard Rheingold

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Mitch Daniels

We do not accept that ours will ever be a nation of haves and have-nots. We must always be a nation of haves and soon-to-haves. — Mitch Daniels

Have And Have Nots Quotes By William J. Clinton

Forget what you may have heard about a digital divide or worries that the world is splintering into 'info haves' and 'info have-nots.' The fact is, technology fosters equality, and it's often the relatively cheap and mundane devices that do the most good. — William J. Clinton

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Ayn Rand

Another current catch-phrase is the complaint that the nations of the world are divided into 'haves' and the 'have-nots.' Observe that the 'haves' are those who have freedom, and that it is freedom that the 'have-nots' have not. — Ayn Rand

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Doris Kearns Goodwin

If the problems created by the industrial age were left unattended, Roosevelt cautioned, America would eventually be "sundered by those dreadful lines of division" that set "the haves" and the "have-nots" against one another. — Doris Kearns Goodwin

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Lauren Oliver

It's like high school holds two different worlds, revolving around each other and never touching; the haves and the have-nots. I guess it's a good thing. High school is supposed to prepare you for the real world, after all. — Lauren Oliver

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Thomas Sowell

Whether as a radical student, a community organizer or a far left politician, Barack Obama's ideology has been based on a vision of the Haves versus the Have Nots ... Obama's ideology is an ideology of envy, resentment, and payback. — Thomas Sowell

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Frank Chodorov

The only beneficiaries of income taxation are the politicians, for it not only gives them the means by which they can increase their emoluments, but it also enables them to improve their importance. The have-nots who support the politicians in the demand for income taxation do so only because they hate the haves; ... the sum of all the arguments for income taxation comes to political ambition and the sin of covetousness. — Frank Chodorov

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Race is totally overhyped these days, black people need to get over themselves, it's all about class now, the haves and the have-nots, — Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Have And Have Nots Quotes By James Jean-Pierre

Have and the have nots. Why do people say that, it's stupid? I think it should be the gets and the get nots; that makes more sense. — James Jean-Pierre

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Wendell Berry

The essential cultural discrimination is not between having and not having or haves and have-nots, but between the superfluous and the indispensable. Wisdom, it seems to me, is always poised upon the knowledge of minimums; it might be thought to be the art of minimums. Granting the frailty, and no doubt the impermanence, of modern technology as a human contrivance, the man who can keep a fire in a stove or on a hearth is not only more durable, but wiser, closer to the meaning of fire, than the man who can only work a thermostat. — Wendell Berry

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Don Cheadle

Many of my friends and family are scratching it out somewhere decidedly south of the ever widening gap between the haves and have nots, looking at losing their homes, colleges they can't afford and healthcare they can't avail themselves of. — Don Cheadle

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Marty Nemko

Liberalism's key principle is to redistribute wealth from the haves to the have nots. That takes money from the entities with the greatest potential to improve society (for example, corporations that create jobs, invent life-saving medicines, etc.) and redistributes it to the people, whom on average, will never contribute more to society than to hold a menial job. — Marty Nemko

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Robert T. Kiyosaki

Because it is ignorance about money that causes so much greed and fear," said rich dad. "Let me give you some examples. A doctor, wanting more money to better provide for his family, raises his fees. By raising his fees, it makes health care more expensive for everyone. It hurts the poor people the most, so they have worse health than those with money. Because the doctors raise their fees, the attorneys raise their fees. Because the attorneys' fees have gone up, schoolteachers want a raise, which raises our taxes, and on and on and on. Soon there will be such a horrifying gap between the rich and the poor that chaos will break out and another great civilization will collapse. History proves that great civilizations collapse when the gap between the haves and have-nots is too great. — Robert T. Kiyosaki

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Michael Parenti

I believe that if we had and would keep our dirty, bloody, dollar-soaked fingers out of the business of these nations so full of depressed, exploited people, they will arrive at a solution of their own ... And if unfortunately their revolution must be of the violent type because the "haves" refuse to share with the "have-nots" by any peaceful method, at least what they get will be their own, and not the American style, which they don't want and above all don't want crammed down their throats by Americans. — Michael Parenti

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Michael Lewis

The U.S. stock market was now a class system, rooted in speed, of haves and have-nots. The haves paid for nanoseconds; the have-nots had no idea that a nanosecond had value. The haves enjoyed a perfect view of the market; the have-nots never saw the market at all. What had once been the world's most public, most democratic, financial market had become, in spirit, something more like a private viewing of a stolen work of art. — Michael Lewis

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Peter Singer

I believe that in this new world that we live in, we often have a responsibility, you know, to actually go beyond the thou shalt nots - that is, the not harming others - and say we can help others and we should be helping others. — Peter Singer

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Linda McQuaig

The free market is notorious for distributing resources in a highly unequal manner, with great concentrations of wealth at the top and poverty at the bottom. Our social programs, modest compared to those of many other Western countries, play an important role in redistributing some of those resources from the haves to the have-nots. — Linda McQuaig

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Arthur Rock

This country's going to have a revolution if something doesn't happen the haves and have - nots. — Arthur Rock

Have And Have Nots Quotes By James S.A. Corey

A world no longer of haves and have-nots, but of the engaged and the apathetic. — James S.A. Corey

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Aberjhani

'Mixtape' is a very appropriate word to include in the title of Goran Hugo Olsson's film because it includes a rich mixture of cultural voices. They speak across different dividing lines such as those of haves and have-nots, youth and maturity, black and white, national and global, and the past and the present. — Aberjhani

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Eduardo Galeano

Richness in the world is a result of other people's poverty. We should begin to shorten the abyss between haves and have-nots. — Eduardo Galeano

Have And Have Nots Quotes By U.G. Krishnamurti

Charity is the filthiest invention of the human mind: first you steal what belongs to everyone; then you use the law and various other means to protect it.

You give charity to prevent the have-nots from rebelling against you. It also makes you feel less guilty. All do-gooders feel 'high' when they do good. — U.G. Krishnamurti

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Jiddu Krishnamurti

I am sure you have been brought up in the school of "must" and "must not" and hence, you have destroyed thought and feeling. You have been bound and crippled by systems, methods, by your teachers. So leave all those "musts" and "must nots. — Jiddu Krishnamurti

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Timothy Keller

Lord, there has never been a human society without overweening pride at the top and bitter envy at the bottom. That is why if the "have-nots" ever overthrow the "haves" they become the same. — Timothy Keller

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Shirley Chisholm

My God, what do we want? What does any human being want? Take away an accident of pigmentation of a thin layer of our outer skin and there is no difference between me and anyone else. All we want is for that trivial difference to make no difference. What can I say to a man who asks that? All I can do is try to explain to him why he asks the question. You have looked at us for years as different from you that you may never see us really. You don't understand because you think of us as second-class humans. We have been passive and accommodating through so many years of your insults and delays that you think the way things used to be is normal. When the good-natured, spiritual-singing boys and girls rise up against the white man and demand to be treated like he is, you are bewildered. All we want is what you want, no less and no more. (Chapter 13). — Shirley Chisholm

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Pope John Paul II

If the aim is globalization without marginalization, we can no longer tolerate a world in which there live side by side the immensely rich and the miserably poor, the have-nots deprived even of essentials and people who thoughtlessly waste what others so desperately need. Such countries are an affront to the dignity of the human person. He further said, Ethics demand that systems be attuned to the needs of man, and not that man be sacrificed for the sake of the system. — Pope John Paul II

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Azar Nafisi

Look at Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution and the slogans that they used: anti-imperialism; anti-colonialism; the struggle of the have-nots against the haves; the state monopoly over economy, which was very much patterned after the Soviet Union. All of these things did not come out of Islam. Islam is not that developed. — Azar Nafisi

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Michael Lister

We seemed to be heading toward a revolution that would not only see a battle between the haves and have-nots, but between the fundamentalists and the progressives - actually that war had already begun, and it did so long before September 11. — Michael Lister

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Rush Limbaugh

Liberals talk about the 'income inequality' and the 'unfairness' and the disparity of the haves and the have-nots in New York City. Who has been running that city for all this time? Who has created the underclass in this country? It's the Democrat Party. — Rush Limbaugh

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Anna Quindlen

There are obvious places in which government can narrow the chasm between haves and have-nots. One is the public schools, which have been seen as the great leveler, the authentic melting pot. That, today, is nonsense. In his scathing study of the nation's public school system entitled "Savage Inequalities," Jonathan Kozol made manifest the truth: that we have a system that discriminates against the poor in everything from class size to curriculum. — Anna Quindlen

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Eric Hoffer

The real "haves" are they who can acquire freedom, self-confidence, and even riches without depriving others of them. They acquire all of these by developing and applying their potentialities. On the other hand, the real "have nots" are they who cannot have aught except by depriving others of it. They can feel free only by diminishing the freedom of others, self-confident by spreading fear and dependence among others, and rich by making others poor. — Eric Hoffer

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Jared Diamond

Much of human history has consisted of unequal conflicts between the haves and the have-nots. — Jared Diamond

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Randeep Hooda

I have this soft spot for have-nots. So, I was really inclined to portray their pain and pathos in 'Highway.' — Randeep Hooda

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Sharman Apt Russell

I will help
but only so much, only so far. It is not that I believe these children are less than my own. It is not that I believe I do not have a responsibility for them. It is just that in a world of haves and have-nots, I do not want to give up too much of what I have. I do not want to diminish the complexity and diversity of my life. Instead, I will choose to spend another seventy-five dollars on myself rather than send another child to school, and I will choose to do this over and over again. I no longer think of myself as a good person. I have adjusted to that. — Sharman Apt Russell

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Howard W. Hunter

If man will not recognize the inequalities around him and voluntarily, through the gospel plan, come to the aid of his brother, he will find that through 'a democratic process' he will be forced to come to the aid of his brother. The government will take from the 'haves' and give to the 'have nots.' Both have lost their freedom. Those who 'have,' lost their freedom to give voluntarily of their own free will and in the way they desire. Those who 'have not,' lost their freedom because they did not earn what they received. They got 'something for nothing,' and they will neither appreciate the gift nor the giver of the gift. — Howard W. Hunter

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Aberjhani

Before the thunderous clamor of political debate or war set loose in the world, love insisted on its promise for the possibility of human unity: between men and women, between blacks and whites, northerners and southerners, haves and have-have-nots, self and self. — Aberjhani

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Dave Ramsey

The haves and have-nots can often be traced back to the dids and did-nots. D. O. FLYNN — Dave Ramsey

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Julianna Baggott

I'm not the kind of writer who's able to block out the world around me. I'm mindful of our own haves and have-nots, how our culture often blames and punishes the have-nots. I worry about our precarious economic and political climate. — Julianna Baggott

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Joan Didion

Marxism in this country had even been an eccentric and quixotic passion. One oppressed class after another had seemed finally to miss the point. The have-nots, it turned out, aspired mainly to having. The minorities seemed to promise more, but finally disappointed: it developed that they actually cared about the issues, that they tended to see the integration of the luncheonette and the seat in the front of the bus as real goals, and only rarely as ploys, counters in a larger game. They resisted that essential inductive leap from the immediate reform to the social ideal, and, just as disappointingly, they failed to perceive their common cause with other minorities, continued to exhibit a self-interest disconcerting in the extreme to organizers steeped in the rhetoric of "brotherhood."
And then, at that exact dispirited moment when there seemed no one at all willing to play the proletariat, along came the women's movement. — Joan Didion

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Miguel De Cervantes

There are only two families in the world, my old grandmother used to say, the Haves and the Have-nots. — Miguel De Cervantes

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Zelda Popkin

No war can end war except a total war which leaves no human creature on earth. Each war creates the causes of war: hate, desire for revenge and have-nots, desperate with need. — Zelda Popkin

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Charles Haddon Spurgeon

A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble. — Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Justin Cronin

The war - the real war, the one that had been going on for a thousand years and would go on for a thousand thousand more - the war between Us and Them, between the Haves and the Have-Nots, between my gods and your gods, whoever you are - would be fought by men like Richards: men with faces you didn't notice — Justin Cronin

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Hillary Jordan

The Bible is full of thou-shalt-nots. Thou shalt not kill, that's one. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor, that's two. Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife - three and four. Notice how none of them have any loopholes. There are no dependent clauses you can hang your sins on, like: Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy brother's wife, unless thou art wandering in the blackest hell, lost to yourself and to every memory of light and goodness, and uncovering her nakedness is the only way back to yourself. No, the Bible's absolute when it comes to most things. It's why I don't believe in God.
Sometimes it's necessary to do wrong. Sometimes it's the only way to make things right. Any God who doesn't understand that can go fuck Himself.
Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain - that's five. — Hillary Jordan

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Earl Wilson

Today, there are three kinds of people: the haves, the have-nots, and the have-not-paid-for-what-they-haves. — Earl Wilson

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Michael Eric Dyson

There are huge divorces and divides and chasms in black America between the have-gots and the have-nots, between the monied and the poor, between the educated and the non-educated. And there are huge and growing chasms daily. And I want to say that it's not simply about generation. It's about genre. — Michael Eric Dyson

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Henry Cloud

Begin to be aware of your tendency to make the "haves" bad and the "have nots" good. Ask God to help you to be grateful for what you have, and to rejoice in the good things that others have. — Henry Cloud

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Bill Gaede

Today, the rich are the haves and the poor are the have-nots. Tomorrow, the rich will be the have-food and the poor will be the have-not food. — Bill Gaede

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Santosh Lamichhane

Those who eat porridge and those who drink gruel live and die.
Even though the faces change,
porridge eaters and gruel drinkers continue to manifest. — Santosh Lamichhane

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Erin Gruwell

Schools are not equal. There are still the haves and the have-nots. — Erin Gruwell

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Thomas Reid

I sit in my loft with the haves and look out at the have-nots - the bottom of the bottom - and I have to rationalize it, ... Am I pushing out the homeless? — Thomas Reid

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Joseph McElroy

...but sovereign borders will mean Water haves and have-nots. — Joseph McElroy

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Iyanla Vanzant

Dear God, Please untie the nots. All of the can nots, should nots, may nots and have nots. Please erase from my mind the thoughts that I am not good enough. — Iyanla Vanzant

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Don Jacobson

The growing social consciousness of the Industrial Revolution (1750-1850) can be found throughout the Austen Universe. While the Lady wrote about the gentry, she, none-the-less, was speaking to the human condition. Class is an imaginary distinction conferring no better manners on the "haves" and no lesser nobility on the "have-nots" and that the deepest human emotions are universal. — Don Jacobson

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Jacqueline Novogratz

We live in a world in which we're seeing an increasing gap between the haves and the have-nots. — Jacqueline Novogratz

Have And Have Nots Quotes By E.L. James

through internships to work at our test sites in Africa. The work they do there benefits the local communities and the students themselves. Together we can fight hunger and the abject poverty that blights these regions. "But in this age of technological evolution, as the first world races ahead, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots, it's — E.L. James

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Terry Brooks

Might have, could have, may have, should have - the haves and have nots reduced to pointless possibilities. — Terry Brooks

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Steven Bochco

When you look at Mark Zuckerberg and Snapchat and all these twentysomething billionaires, it's really kind of fascinating; a classic tale of the haves and have-nots. — Steven Bochco

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Saul Alinsky

Mankind has been and is divided into three parts: the Haves, the Have-Nots, and the Have-a-Little, Want Mores. — Saul Alinsky

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Gertrude Stein

The difference between saints, forget-me-nots, and mountains, have to, have to, have to at a time. — Gertrude Stein

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Adriana Trigiani

The distance between the haves and the have-nots is a train ride. — Adriana Trigiani

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Ross Kemp

If you have extremes of haves and have-nots where the gap keeps growing, the have-nots group together and create social disorder, as they can't see a way out of their situation. — Ross Kemp

Have And Have Nots Quotes By E. Leo Foster

The real 'have' and 'have nots' are between the people who were caught sinning verses the ones who got away with committing sin. — E. Leo Foster

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Tavis Smiley

To be clear, the gap between the have gots and the have nots is widening. In this most multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic America ever, that concerns me. — Tavis Smiley

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Ziad K. Abdelnour

The difference between the Haves and Have-nots? The will to sacrifice and to do what others won't ... Very simple. — Ziad K. Abdelnour

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Neil Jackson

I think people are always going to be fascinated about the haves and have nots - about the divide between the servants and the rich families upstairs. — Neil Jackson

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Marco Rubio

And that is that we have never been: a nation of haves and have-nots. We are a nation of haves and soon-to-haves, of people who have made it and people who will make it. And that's who we need to remain. — Marco Rubio

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Noreena Hertz

We live increasingly in a world of haves and have-nots, of gated communities next to ghettos, of extreme poverty and unbelievable riches. Some enjoy rights that are completely denied to others. Relative inequalities are exploding, and the world's poorest, despite all the advances of globalisation, may even be getting poorer. — Noreena Hertz

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Frank Chodorov

Men live by production, but the State lives by appropriation. While the haves and the have-nots struggle over the division of existing wealth, it is the business of the State to improve itself at the expense of both; it picks up the marbles while the boys are fighting. That has been the story of men in organized society since the beginning. That this lesson of history should have escaped the reformers of the nineteenth century, when the habit of freedom was still strong in America, can be easily understood; what is not easily explained is the acceptance of the doctrine of benevolent government in our day, when all the evidence to the contrary is before our eyes. — Frank Chodorov

Have And Have Nots Quotes By James Bryan Smith

The Beatitudes, far from being a new set of virtues that further divide the religious haves and have nots, are words of hope and healing to those who have been marginalized. — James Bryan Smith

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Gordon Smith

If policymakers are serious about avoiding a society of TV 'haves and have-nots,' they should refrain from policies that favor pay-TV operators over the providers of our nation's only free and local communications system: over-the-air broadcasting. — Gordon Smith

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Ram Dass

As the haves and have-nots split further and further apart, destabilization ultimately leads to revolution, not evolution. If we're playing the evolution vs. revolution game, we are closer to revolution than we are to evolution in my concept. — Ram Dass

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Ronald Reagan

This is not to say that the government should confiscate from the "haves" and bestow upon the "have-nots", beyond the requirements of a compassionate welfare program to provide for those who cannot provide for themselves. Far from it. But it is to say that our duty is to foster a strong, vibrant wealth-producing economy which operates in such a way that new additions to wealth accrue to those who presently have little or no ownership stake in their country. — Ronald Reagan

Have And Have Nots Quotes By H.G.Wells

So, in the end, above ground you must have the Haves, pursuing pleasure and comfort and beauty, and below ground the Have-nots, the Workers getting continually adapted to the conditions of their labour. Once they were there, they would no doubt have to pay rent, and not a little of it, for the ventilation of their caverns; and if they refused, they would starve or be suffocated for arrears. Such of them as were so constituted as to be miserable and rebellious would die; and, in the end, the balance being permanent, the survivors would become as well adapted to the conditions of underground life, and as happy in their way, as the Upper-world people were to theirs. — H.G.Wells

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Nina Jacobson

[On The Hunger Games success]: It hit on the zeitgeist of the disparity b/w the haves and have nots. — Nina Jacobson

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Oprah Winfrey

I know for sure that appreciating whatever shows up for you in life changes your personal vibration. You radiate and generate more goodness for yourself when you're aware of all you have and not focusing on your have-nots. — Oprah Winfrey

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Inio Asano

I told you it's pointless talking about ifs and if nots. But...I do think it's nice if there could come a time where we could have fun talking about if and if nots, no matter how pointless it is...You know, I feel really happy right now. I'm so glad I was able to meet you in this life. Thank you. — Inio Asano

Have And Have Nots Quotes By Kim Barker

It wasn't necessarily the booze and brothels. It was the growing gap in the country between the haves and have-nots, the corruption, the warlords now in parliament, the drug lords doubling as government officials, the general attitude of the foreigners from aid workers to the international troops, and the fact that no one ever seemed to be held accountable for anything. — Kim Barker
