A Quote by John Steinbeck

I guess this is why I hate governments, all governments. It is always the rule, the fine print, carried out by fine-print men. There's nothing to fight, no wall to hammer with frustrated fists.

The big print giveth, and the fine print taketh away.

Fulton J. Sheen

My success was the shock of recognition, probably, rather than the quality of the work. I mean, the quality may have been fine, but there's a lot of fine work out there. It was the fact that I was doing something that at that time, nobody else was doing, except for say, Mort Saul out in San Francisco on The Hungry Eye, and "Second City" was emerging out in Chicago. Nothing in print. It was basically happening in cabaret and nothing in fiction. And certainly nothing in New York in cartoons.

Jules Feiffer

If the goal of the DOT's rule is to prevent companies from deceiving passengers about the total cost of their ticket, why is the department mandating that airlines hide the taxes, surcharges and government fees in the fine print?

Tom Graves

Nothing in fine print is ever good news.

Andy Rooney

Well, it wasn't really a decision on my part although you always hope as an author that a book that goes out of print somehow winds up back in print. These days publishers like to put out-of-print books into e-book form, but I really wanted to do an update.

Bob Colacello

Governments, like clocks, go from the motion men give them, and as governments are made and moved by men, so by them they are ruined too. Wherefore governments rather depend upon men, than men upon governments. Let men be good, and the government cannot be bad; if it be ill, they will cure it. But if men be bad, let the government be never so good, they will endeavour to warp and spoil it to their turn.

William Penn

As a general rule, governments are unlimited in their powers. All free governments, perhaps all other governments, are entitled in some shape or other to make laws and to repeal or amend them.

Samuel Freeman Miller

I feel like the Earth is a re-print of a re-print of a print of a re-print.

Skepta

I love a wild animal print. Not just a leopard print - I'm talking about a tiger or zebra print, too.

Tan France

Education is when you read the fine print. Experience is what you get if you don't.

Pete Seeger

The world is completely revolutionized, so we're told, and so the logic goes that governments can just print money to pay their bills and there'll be no consequences. It's insane.

Pierre Poilievre

Independent judges have always frustrated governments that don't see why unelected arbiters of the law should stand in their way.

Anne Applebaum

For me, I don't even like to promote my films but I have to because it's in the fine print of my contract.

Diane Lane

I'm basically a songwriter, man. Songwriters are down in the fine print, you know? And I really enjoy that.

J. J. Cale

I know the Federal Reserve Bank can continue to print more and more money... but city and state governments cannot.

Robert Kiyosaki

Governments want efficient technicians, not human beings, because human beings become dangerous to governments – and to organized religions as well. That is why governments and religious organizations seek to control education.
