Marshall Plan Aid

Famous quotes containing the words marshall, plan and/or aid:

    So long as the source of our identity is external—vested in how others judge our performance at work, or how others judge our children’s performance, or how much money we make—we will find ourselves hopelessly flawed, forever short of the ideal.
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    I have never yet seen any plan which has not been mended by the observations of those who were much inferior in understanding to the person who took the lead in the business.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Frustrate a Frenchman, he will drink himself to death; an Irishman, he will die of angry hypertension; a Dane, he will shoot himself; an American, he will get drunk, shoot you, then establish a million dollar aid program for your relatives. Then he will die of an ulcer.
    —Stanley Rudin. The New York Times (August 22, 1963)
