A favor tardily bestowed is no favor; for a favor quickly granted is a more agreeable favor.

Decimius Magnus Ausonius

The fact that we're all hyphenating our names suggests that we are afraid of being assimilated. I was talking on the BBC recently, and this woman introduced me as being "in favor of assimilation." I said, "I'm not in favor of assimilation." I am no more in favor of assimilation than I am in favor of the Pacific Ocean. Assimilation is not something to oppose or favor - it just happens.

Richard Rodriguez

I react pragmatically. Where the market works, I'm for that. Where the government is necessary, I'm for that. I'm deeply suspicious of somebody who says, 'I'm in favor of privatization,' or, 'I'm deeply in favor of public ownership.' I'm in favor of whatever works in the particular case.

John Kenneth Galbraith

Yeah, I am in favor of migration. But I am also in favor of education. But at the same time, I am in favor of progressive taxation. I think we need all of this. I think we don't have to choose one.

Thomas Piketty

Always we argue that unity is necessity because disunity goes in favor of the U.S. , which are our enemy, and everything that goes in favor of the enemy must be eliminated. That is why we are in favor of unity.

Che Guevara

Vanity keeps persons in favor with themselves who are out of favor with all others.

William Shakespeare

I am in favor of a national bank...in favor of the internal improvements system and a high protective tariff.

Abraham Lincoln

You are beginning to see that any man to whom you can do favor is your friend, and that you can do a favor to almost anyone.

Mark Caine

There are many ways of asking a favor; but to assume that you are granting the favor that you ask shows spirit and invention.

Agnes Repplier

Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all.
