A Quote by Herbert Hoover

About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends. — © Herbert Hoover
About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.
Each year it grows harder to make ends meet - the ends I refer to are hands and feet.
What is a scene? a) A scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the Aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) A scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. Starts angry, ends embarrassed. Starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) Something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. Make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. Make something happen.
My family taught me about saving and how to stretch to make ends meet.
War is by definition the indiscriminate killing of huge numbers of people for ends that are uncertain. Think about means and ends, and apply it to war. The means are horrible, certainly. The ends, uncertain. That alone should make you hesitate. . . . We are smart in so many ways. Surely, we should be able to understand that in between war and passivity, there are a thousand possibilities.
That a friendship ends doesn't mean it was weak from the outset; that it ends says nothing about its importance.
I gotta make a living somehow, and make ends meet. I accept the idea of having a retirement.
Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.
I have done a lot of television serials in order to make ends meet.
The fight to make ends meet, keeps a man upon his feet.
Religion ends and philosophy begins, just as alchemy ends and chemistry begins, and astrology ends and astronomy begins.
The SPR is intended to provide relief at times when working families are struggling to make ends meet, and to counter the price shocks that accompany severe supply disruptions. Now is undoubtedly such a time.
Intelligence makes clear to us the interrelationship of means and ends. But mere thinking cannot give us a sense of the ultimate and fundamental ends. To make clear these fundamental ends and valuations and to set them fast in the emotional life of the individual, seems to me precisely the most important function which religion has to form in the social life of man.
Complacency is not an option when so many of our citizens are struggling to make ends meet.
I got married when I was 16 so I had to do shift-work to make ends meet.
I just don't think of myself as a star. This is what I do for a living; I'm fortunate that I make ends meet.
