They lack the minimum amount of capital necessary to get a foothold, and therefore need a boost up to the first rung. ~Jeffrey Sachs

It was the rule to count to ten if instinct wasn't needed, but common sense was. ~Melina Marchetta

#quotes #david-morse #stories #film

#quotes #michel-de-certeau #past #history #stories
