Budgets are blueprints and priorities.

Kevin McCarthy

Budgets reflect our priorities, who we are as a nation, what we're going to put first, and emphasize and invest.

Brad Schneider

I'll go through the budgets for tours and recordings, royalty statements... You have to wise up about it a bit more.

Budgets are moral documents. Federal funding should reflect the priorities and the values of the majority of the American people.

Mike Pence

All the states are required, either by constitution or by statute, to have balanced budgets - they're not able to print money. So they have to focus on establishing priorities.

Gary Locke

Every democracy must involve civil society in the process of establishing budgets, and all sectors of society must be consulted to determine what the real priorities of the population are. Lobbies, including military contractors and other representatives of the military-industrial complex, must not be allowed to hijack these priorities to the detriment of the population's real needs.

Alfred-Maurice de Zayas

The budgets we work on in Congress are more than just fiscal documents; they are a reflection of our moral values as well. In choosing where to spend money, members of Congress choose what priorities they value.

Tim Walz

In a time of tight budgets, difficult choices have to be made. We must make sure our very limited resources are spent on priorities. I believe we should have no higher priority than investing in our children's classrooms and in their future.

Bob Riley

Just like families must live within their budgets, the Federal Government must live within its means. We have passed appropriations bills that have been fiscally responsible while recognizing our national priorities.

Dennis Hastert

Universities have to tame their budgets, especially for student amenities that have nothing to do with education.

Robert Reich

Marketing executives like big budgets, as big budgets make it easier to grow the top line.

Bill Gurley

The problem for independent filmmakers is that huge companies control all the promotion, all the advertising. Hollywood films' advertising budgets are as large as their shooting budgets.

Robert Kane Pappas

MAKE STATEMENTS also applies to us women: Speak in statements instead of apologetic questions. No one wants to go to a doctor who says, “I’m going to be your surgeon? I’m here to talk to you about your procedure? I was first in my class at Johns Hopkins, so?” Make statements, with your actions and your voice.

Tina Fey

There is a certain embarrassment about being a storyteller in these times when stories are considered not quite as satisfying as statements and statements not quite as satisfying as statistics; but in the long run, a people is known, not by its statements or its statistics, but by the stories it tells.

Flannery O'Connor

I take statements that portray untrue statements about me seriously.

DeRay Mckesson

Science is a system of statements based on direct experience, and controlled by experimental verification. Verification in science is not, however, of single statements but of the entire system or a sub-system of such statements.

Rudolf Carnap
