“We stand for a living wage. Wages are subnormal if they fail to provide a living for those who devote their time and energy to industrial occupations. The monetary equivalent of a living wage varies according to local conditions, but must include enough to secure the elements of a normal standard of living-a standard high enough to make morality possible, to provide for education and recreation, to care for immature members of the family, to maintain the family during periods of sickness, and to permit of reasonable saving for old age.” IfsEnoughCareAgeEnergyFailingConditionsPeriodsMoralityMembersElementsNormalStandardsLocalsOld AgeSecureSavingReasonableSicknessOccupationPermitWagesVaryRecreationMonetaryImmatureMinimum WageStandards Of LivingTime And EnergyLiving Wage Author:Theodore Roosevelt
“Vaudeville could not vouch for the honesty, the integrity, or the mentality of the individuals who collectively made up the horde the medium embraced. All the human race demands of its members is that they be born. That is all vaudeville demanded. You just had to be born. You could be ignorant and be a star. You could be a moron and be wealthy. The elements that went to make up vaudeville were combed from the jungles, the four corners of the world, the intelligentsia and the subnormal.” WorldHumansMadeIndividualStarsBornRaceFourHonestyIntegrityDemandMembersElementsCornersIgnorantMediumsHuman RaceWealthyMentalityJungleMoronHordeCorners Of The WorldVaudeville Author:Fred Allen
“Unless the Arab states give Israel formal recognition, within secure, recognised and mutually agreed boundaries, as a permanent feature of the geography and politics of the Middle East. But if Israel is to obtain this recognition, she must, in a settlement, put an end to the territorial occupation which she has maintained since the war of 1967; the nine members of the European Community have declared that this is an essential element in a settlement. On behalf of the British Government I underline that need today.” IfsNeedsGivingWarEndsStatesGovernmentTodayCommunityMiddleMembersEssentialsElementsIsraelBritishEastBoundariesNineSecureRecognitionPermanentFeaturesOccupationMiddle EastFormalBehalfGeographySettlementTerritorialBritish Government Author:Anthony Crosland
“My idea of marriage, as of every other partnership, ... is that each member shall contribute to it his or her personality, unrepressed and uncoerced.

“Band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It's like a highly specialized army unit, or a winning sports team.

“In all cultures, the family imprints its members with selfhood. Human experience of identity has two elements; a sense of belonging and a sense of being separate. The laboratory in which these ingredients are mixed and dispensed is the family, the matrix of identity.” HumansTwoCultureIdentityMembersElementsBelongingIngredientsHuman ExperienceLaboratory Book:Families and Family Therapy Source: Families and Family Therapy
“Naturally and logically, people who forage rather than herd domestic beasts and tend crops for a living - that is, people who depend utterly on wild as opposed to agriculture nature for their welfare - inevitably come to view themselves as merely an element of it all, one member of an egalitarian community, alternately eating and being eaten.” PeopleCommunityViewsDependsMembersElementsEatingWelfareBeastAgricultureCropsHerds Author:David Petersen
“While we have put an utmost emphasis on Gross Domestic Products (GDP) as a barometer for the overall economy until now, we have not paid much attention in detecting a level of social welfare.
