SAFETY NET-ISM: The belief that there will always be a financial and emotional safety net to buffer life's hurts. Usually parents.

Douglas Coupland

Most Americans get that there is a need for a safety net in our country, and we support that safety net.

Steve Scalise

Marriage is a leap of faith. You are each other's safety net.

Erica Bauermeister

We shouldn't turn the safety net into a hammock. It should actually be a safety net.

Steve King

I love doing kitchen renovations where we're opening up the kitchen and creating open-concept main floors. I think that's one renovation that really changes the way people live in their homes.

Candice Olson

One of the dangers about net-net investing is that if you buy a net-net that begins to lose money your net-net goes down and your capacity to be able to make a profit becomes less secure. So the trick is not necessarily to predict what the earnings are going to be but to have a clear conviction that the company isn't going bust and that your margin of safety will remain intact over time.

Peter Cundill

While the agent of renovation is the Divine Spirit, and the condition of renovation is our cleaving to Christ, the medium of renovation and the weapon which the transforming grace employs is "the word of the truth of the gospel," whereby we are sanctified.

Alexander MacLaren

I think most Americans believe in a basic social safety net.

Ben Sasse

If there is any state that typifies prototypical 'Murica' where the trucks and the guns are big and the social safety net is oh so small, it's Texas.

Krystal Ball

Marriage is the lightning rod that absorbs anxiety and stress from all other sources, past and present. When marriage has a firm foundation of solid friendship and mutual respect, it can tolerate a fair amount of raw emotion. A good fight can clear the air, and it's nice to know we can survive conflict and even learn from it. Many couples, however, get trapped in endless rounds of fighting and blaming that they don't know how to get out of. When fights go unchecked and unrepaired, they can eventually erode love and respect, which are the bedrock of any successful relationship.

Harriet Lerner

Of course we have compassion. We just don't believe the safety net should be used as a hammock.

Allen West

I'd like to have a successful marriage, not for the sake of labelling or branding, but because I believe in the institution of marriage.

Sonam Kapoor

The type of renovation I do most often is opening a kitchen to the family room.

Candice Olson

The snow again. White, white net of beauty, net of dream, trapping the earth, trapping the helpless heart of life.

Martha Ostenso

I believe in the freedom of the net, but I don't believe in the freedom of the net at the cost of having these online criminal gangs running completely loose and using the freedom of the net to steal everybody's money and take away the trust we have.
