A Quote by Daniel Handler

I'm not a believer in predetermined fates, being rewarded for one's efforts. I'm not a believer in karma. The reason why I try to be a good person is because I think it's the right thing to do. If I commit fewer bad acts there will be fewer bad acts, maybe other people will join in committing fewer bad acts, and in time there will be fewer and fewer of them.

Investing intelligently in those of us who are marginalised means fewer people in jail, fewer homeless, fewer unemployed, fewer of us who are forlorn and depressed, fewer people addicted to things that drag us down... Because as we invest in those that do it tough, we will see more Australians taking pride in themselves, having realisable dreams and aspirations and making their own positive contribution to the world's greatest nation.

Simon McKeon

What this country needs is more people to inspire others with confidence, and fewer people to discourage any initiative in the right direction more to get into the thick of things, fewer to sit on the sidelines, merely finding fault more to point out what's right with the world, and fewer to keep harping on what's wrong with it and more who are interested in lighting candles, and fewer who blow them out.

James Keller

Because of technological breakthroughs, the society will need fewer and fewer unskilled laborers.

Maya Angelou

An author who waits for the right 'mood' will soon find that 'moods' get fewer and fewer until they cease altogether.

Vera Brittain

We are entering a new phase in human history - one in which fewer and fewer workers will be needed to produce the goods and services for the global population.

Jeremy Rifkin

Some 70% to 80% of all who join the military will return to the civilian workforce. They'll return to communities, and one of the things I've worried about is the increasing disconnect between the American people and our men and women in uniform. We come from fewer and fewer places. We're less than 1% of the population.

Michael Mullen

A wisdom deficit - fewer elders and even fewer people who listen to them.

Jonas Salk

Is there a way that we would actually recognize the game of football with fewer tackles and fewer collisions? I'm not sure. But I think that's the direction we're going to have to go. Bigger fields? Fewer players on the field? I think we are ultimately going to have to change some of the major rules of the game.

Ann McKee

But now it seems possible that the truth about getting older is that there are fewer and fewer things to make fun of until finally there is nothing you are sure you will never be.

Jenny Offill

The German birthrate is below replacement levels, meaning the population is shrinking, meaning fewer and fewer people of age to join the labor force.

Rush Limbaugh

Gossip is dying out because fewer and fewer people care to talk about anything besides themselves.

Mason Cooley

Anyone too busy to say thank you will get fewer and fewer chances to say it.

Harvey Mackay

When a town doesn't have a book store, it is like something is missing, and unfortunately, fewer and fewer have them.

Irvine Welsh

When there are fewer and fewer publishers of scale, it's just not good for authors.

Richard Ben Cramer

Haven't we all, as time continues, found that we must be kind to ourselves and listen to our thoughts, because fewer and fewer of those remain who know what is most real to us?

Lan Samantha Chang

From time to time there will be some complaints that we are pushing our people too hard. I don't give a good Goddamn about such complaints. I believe in the old and sound rule that an ounce of sweat will save a gallon of blood. The harder we push, the more Germans we will kill. The more Germans we kill, the fewer of our men will be killed. Pushing means fewer casualties. I want you all to remember that.

George S. Patton
