A Quote by Anna Quindlen

There is a lot of talk now about metal detectors and gun control. Both are good things. But they are no more a solution than forks and spoons are a solution to world hunger.

The more there is a European solution to a theoretical, but possible, problem in the markets, the less we will have to talk about an I.M.F. solution.

George Papandreou

Let's pass more gun control laws and buy metal detectors for every public school in the land - anything but tell kids that life is sacred, because its Creator deems it so.

Don Feder

A good solution applied with vigor now is better than a perfect solution applied ten minutes later.

George S. Patton

We are very short on organs, and the pig solution is probably a lot better than the human clone solution - though maybe not for the pigs.

Margaret Atwood

I believe that solution to all problems is in development. Development is also the solution to the tension that people talk about.

Narendra Modi

A favorite means of escaping the solution to any problem is to declare it too complex for solution. This absolves us from attempting solution. ... Any problem is too complex to solve when we do not wish to accept the conditions of solution. Solution is possible where acceptance is ready.

Pearl S. Buck

Pride makes us long for a solution to things – a solution, a purpose, a final cause; but the better telescopes become, the more stars appear.

Julian Barnes

Violence is sometimes a very practical solution but I don't think it is the ultimate solution. Owning a gun is not OK for me. But I could argue both sides. Why shouldn't people own them? I'm not fundamentally against citizens having access to a weapon but I think it has complications. It's probably not the wisest idea. Obviously, it has consequences. Personally, I do not own a weapon.

Keanu Reeves

Common sense, to me, is simple. And I've never understood why there aren't a lot of people trying to figure out how the United States became this special place and then try to replicate it around the world, because that's the solution to the human condition. The solution to poverty, the solution to misery, the solution to backwards living is the United States of America. Why not learn how that happened, learn why and how we happened. What is it that made it special?

Rush Limbaugh

Many things made me become a vegetarian, among them the higher food yield as a solution to world hunger.

John Denver

The solution for mankind is of a spiritual nature. It is not a political or religious solution. It's the ability to love each other. That's the only solution I see.

Ziggy Marley

Forks and spoons have probably done more to reconcile people who cannot agree than guns and bombs ever did

Theodore Zeldin

The 'solution' to file sharing was never centralizing content control back to a few entities - that was the struggle we were fighting for. Netflix, Spotify etc. are not a solution but a loss.

Peter Sunde

Computing is not about computers any more. It is about living. Whatever big problem you can imagine, from world peace to the environment to hunger to poverty, the solution always includes education, ... We need to depend more on peer-to-peer and self-driven learning. The laptop is one important means of doing that.

Nicholas Negroponte

As a person who's been in the professional world for some 25 years now, my experience is that the best core solution, the best solution for us as we change the structure, is to power through with great work product.
