Lee Smolin

Throwing money at problems never solved anything!

Rush Limbaugh

To politicians, solved problems represent a dire threat - of unemployment and poverty. That's why no problem ever tackled by the government has ever been solved. What they want is lots of problems they can promise to solve, so that we'll keep electing them - or letting them keep their jobs in a bureaucracy metastasizing like cancer.

L. Neil Smith

Policy makers still think that if we just hand out more money the world's problems will be solved.

Paul Weyrich

Money problems can always be solved by a man not frightened by them.

If explicit metadata is a real problem, it raises problems that just can't be solved. It's not that we're not good at it; it's the problems cannot be solved because we're not going to agree about these deep questions of how we organize.

David Weinberger

The problems that exist in this world can not be solved by the level of thinking that created them.

Albert Einstein

You can't raise the aspirations of a child and then leave them hanging. Poverty can't be solved by a project. It's solved by a relationship, collaboration.

Ann Cotton

Had the Hebrews not been disturbed in their progress a thousand and more years ago, they would have solved all the great problems of civilization which are being solved now under all the difficulties imposed by the spirit of the Middle Ages.

Isaac Mayer Wise

Problems can only be solved by the people who have them. You have to try and coax them and love them into seeing ways in which they can help themselves.
