Shakira

Bill Murray

Sheryl Sandberg

Time to time I get together with the rabbis, with religious leaders, leaders of congregations, and I talk to them, and wherever a need arises, we do everything we can to meet those needs.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

We believe in healthy, hearty laughter -- at the expense of the whole human race, if needs be. Needs be.

Instead of expecting truck drivers and warehouse workers to rapidly retrain so they can compete with tireless, increasingly capable machines, let's play to their human strengths and create opportunities for workers as companions and caregivers for our elders, our children, and our special-needs population.

Oren Etzioni

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

Bo Bennett

There is no debate that the H-2A program needs significant reform. Increasing access, so that farmers and workers are able to meet their labor needs is incredibly important, especially in NC-11 where agriculture represents a pillar of our local economy.
