I know that government doesn't have the all solutions that real solutions do not come from the top down. Instead, the ways to end poverty come from all of us. We are part of the solution.

Kathleen Blanco

I am hostile to the idea that collective solutions have to be made by committees and then imposed top-down. I very much prefer bottom-up solutions.

Roger Scruton

Real change never occurs from the top on down, [but] always from the bottom on up.

Bernie Sanders

Government tends to believe in top-down solutions, and government fears of bottom-up solutions.

Betsy DeVos

If there is going to be change, real change, it will have to work its way from the bottom up, from the people themselves. That's how change happens.

Howard Zinn

But in a turbulent environment the change is so widespread that it just routes around any kind of central authority. So it is best to manage the bottom-up change rather than try to institute it from the top down.

Kevin Kelly

I decided to become a community organizer ... Change won't come from the top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass roots.

Barack Obama

What draws me to the type of snowboarding that I'm doing now is, I go through every emotion in life when I'm climbing these mountains. The fear. The anticipation before that. Getting to the top and the joy of standing on top, and then the adrenaline on going down, and then the kind of overwhelming emotions that I get at the bottom. That whole process is really addicting, and makes me feel alive.

Jeremy Jones

I truly believe that we each have a House of Belonging waiting for us. Waiting to be found, waiting to be built, waiting to be renovated, waiting to be cleaned up. Waiting to rescue us. Waiting for the real thing: a grown-up, romantic, reciprocal relationship.

Sarah Ban Breathnach

I think we did a pretty good role, linking, being a sounding board really and a driving force, especially from the bottom up. I think that part of this is bottom up as well as top down.

Richard Rogers

Here is the difference between hope with Jesus and hope without Jesus. Hope without Jesus is waiting for your position or circumstance to change. To be waiting and hoping that someday things aren't how they are now. There is nothing wrong with waiting for a miracle, but some miracles don't always come. Life without Jesus is a life without purpose.

Nick Vujicic

Software touches all of these different things you use, and tech companies are revolutionizing all different areas of the world...from how we shop to how farming works, all these things that aren't technical are being turned upside down by software. So being able to play in that universe really makes a difference.

Drew Houston

The world is at a big risk from climate change. We have to come up with solutions, to bring in a sustainable economy.

Tulsi Tanti

It is impossible for the nation to develop unless states develop, the process of policy planning also has to change from 'top to bottom' to 'bottom to top

Narendra Modi

There's bipartisan efforts to change how FEMA works or, more importantly, change how relief funding trickles down to us down here.

Dan Crenshaw

I would say that when you go to the very, very top, it's an ability to come up with new ideas, with something new, to make the difference. Every world champion, every player who was traversing this universe, managed to bring something new to the game. This ability to always find some unconventional ways. That makes the final difference.

Garry Kasparov
