Obama had to save the banks, sure, but he didn't have to save the bankers and the shareholders and the bondholders. We broke the rules of capitalism in order to save those at the top - as we always do.

Joseph Stiglitz

We would do well to ask why governments seem to find it so easy to raise the money required to wreck the biosphere, and so difficult to raise the money required to save it.

George Monbiot

You save an old man and you save a unit; but save a boy, and you save a multiplication table.

Rodney "Gipsy" Smith

It's hard to punish and save the banks at the same time.

Henry Paulson

Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.

George Carlin

Learn how to cook! That's the way to save money. You don't save it buying hamburger helpers, and prepared foods; you save it by buying fresh foods in season or in large supply, when they are cheapest and usually best, and you prepare them from scratch at home. Why pay for someone else's work, when if you know how to do it, you can save all that money for yourself?

Julia Child

You have to save the habitat, you have to save the population - not individual animals. What you want to save is the foundation, the basic infrastructure from which resources are produced. You can't save Fifi and Boo-Boo and Thumper.

Ted Nugent

You don't have to either choose to save the world or become a sellout. I say to people, "Listen dude, how can you save the world if you can't even save yourself? Why don't you try to affect one person's life who's in your life, and that would be historic."

Immortal Technique

Nobody else will ever be able to save me if I’m not fighting as hard as I can to save myself.

Claudia Gray

I created a character whose motives were pure and good and she was going to go out and save the whole world. But the truth is, you can't save the whole world, but you can save one. And that was the whole thrust of the novel - to save just one.

Lurlene McDaniel

My goal for the next decade is to try to make it as easy to save the world in real life as it is to save the world in online games.

Jane McGonigal

I think the celebrity author trend reflects, at least in part, the growing influence of marketing departments at publishing companies. The emphasis becomes on the easy sell, as opposed to finding the best quality and writing and illustrating. There are exceptions (I like John Lithgow's stuff, for example), but a lot of it is putrid, and the best of it is often ghostwritten. Save the ink. Save the trees. Save our brain cells.

Jabari Asim

It's hard to save the world when you can't save yourself

Carrie Jones

Save time, save money, save the environment. Forget the environment, save yourself.

Vince Offer

My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union.

Abraham Lincoln

I do save a lot. I'm a reality TV star but at the end of the day I know you have to save. With my career it can sometimes be over in an instant and that's why I've always saved.
