Our country was founded by geniuses, but it’s being run by idiots.

A. P. J. Abdul KalamI didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.
Vivienne WestwoodRiches are a good hand maiden, but a poor mistress.
Francis BaconMuch of India that we dream of still lies ahead of us: housing, power, water and sanitation for all; bank accounts and insurance for every citizen; connected and prosperous villages; and, smart and sustainable cities.
Narendra ModiIn this country, it doesn’t make any difference where you were born. It doesn’t make any difference who your parents were. It doesn’t make any difference if, like me, you couldn’t even speak English until you were in your twenties.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerIn an interconnected age when opportunistic adversaries can work in tandem to destroy stability and prosperity, our country needs to regain its strategic footing. We need to bring the clarity to our efforts before we lose the confidence of the American people and the support of potential allies.
Jim MattisNo other country in the world does what we do. On every issue, the world turns to us, not simply because of the size of our economy or our military might – but because of the ideals we stand for, and the burdens we bear to advance them.
Barack ObamaUpon the education of the people of this country the fate of this country depends.

George CarlinI should like to be able to love my country and still love justice.
Albert CamusYou can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
Frank ZappaThe things that will destroy America are prosperity-at-any-price, peace-at-any-price, safety-first instead of duty-first, the love of soft living, and the get-rich-quick theory of life.

Helen KellerWorkers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains.
Karl MarxWhile the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover. There is one certainty of the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the United States – that is, prosperity.
Herbert HooverWithout education, your children can never really meet the challenges they will face. So it’s very important to give children education and explain that they should play a role for their country.

Blaise PascalOur country is that spot to which our heart is bound.
VoltaireThe first panacea for a mismanaged nation is inflation of the currency; the second is war. Both bring a temporary prosperity; both bring a permanent ruin. But both are the refuge of political and economic opportunists.
Ernest HemingwayWe will be remembered only if we give to our younger generation a prosperous and safe India, resulting out of economic prosperity coupled with civilizational heritage.
A. P. J. Abdul KalamI believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.
Joel OsteenWeak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.

Noam ChomskyA young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today’s military rejects include tomorrow’s hard-core unemployed.
John F. KennedyWe have to build the capacity of our institutions, employees and workers. Our regulatory environment has not been encouraging to research, innovation and enterprise.
Narendra ModiThere’s a belief that you’re supposed to be poor, and suffering, and show your humility. I just don’t see the Bible that way. I see that God came and Jesus died so that we might live an abundant life and be a blessing to others.
Joel OsteenWe didn’t become the most prosperous country in the world just by rewarding greed and recklessness. We didn’t come this far by letting the special interests run wild. We didn’t do it just by gambling and chasing paper profits on Wall Street. We built this country by making things, by producing goods we could sell.
Barack ObamaHealthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
Winston ChurchillI resigned from the Marine Corps and flying in 1974, even though I loved them both. I quit because I no longer wanted to fight for peace. Instead, I believe we can build a more sustainable peace by working for prosperity.

Michelle ObamaI’m a working-class person, working with class.
Karl LagerfeldFreedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.
Ronald ReaganNot only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men.
