“How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! how short his time! and consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature during whole geological periods. Can we wonder, then, that nature's productions should be far 'truer' in character than man's productions; that they should be infinitely better adapted to the most complex conditions of life, and should plainly bear the stamp of far higher workmanship?” MenShouldWholeCharacterWishPoorEffortWonderConditionsProductsBearsHigherPeriodsComplexesEnvironmentalProductionsStampsFleetingAdaptedWorkmanship Book:The origin of species (low cost).

“I have often noticed that the need for cash and the production of a masterpiece just don't coincide with me. Money will hit me at a big off-period and genius will hit me in starvation, that is, I often get the money when I don't think I deserve it and have been lolling around for days and days thinking the most abysmal thoughts.” ThinkingNeedsHas BeensBigsGeniusPeriodsDeserveProductionsCashMasterpieceStarvation Book:A gesture of belonging: letters from Bessie Head, 1965-1979 Source: A gesture of belonging: letters from Bessie Head, 1965-1979
“The U. S. is headed toward a period of business depression... beginning within the next two years, which may exceed that which preceded the War. ... The only thing that will save us is a new gold policy or the discovery of a new process or additional gold fields.

“I think the advantage we had with "MacGruber" is the speed we had to put it together.

“We need to roll back precarious employment models. Temporary and limited contracts were initially seen as a way of introducing more flexibility so as to bridge periods of need in certain phases of production. Some employers have taken advantage of the model to push down wages. In general, we must strive for equal pay for equal work.” WayNeedsCertainPayTakenPeriodsEqualModelsAdvantageStriveProductionsEmploymentBridgesTemporaryContractsIntroducingPhasesWagesFlexibilityEmployersPrecariousEqual PayTaken Advantage Author:Martin Schulz
“According to Marx, socialism is the first stage of communism and it covers a very long historical period in which we must practise the principle "to each according to his work" and combine the interests of the state, the collective and the individual, for only thus can we arouse people's enthusiasm for labour and develop socialist production.” PeopleFirstsLongStatesIndividualInterestPrinciplesStagePeriodsHistoricalProductionsSocialismEnthusiasmCommunismLabourCollectivesSocialistPractise Author:Deng Xiaoping
