George Allen

Save one-third, live on one-third, and give away one-third

Angelina Jolie

What we ask of the developed countries is to let the Third World find a third way.

Ferdinand Marcos

I don't mind America becoming a Third World country. The weather is better in the Third World than it is where I live in New Hampshire. And household help will be much cheaper.
