Negative Cash Flows

Famous quotes containing the words negative, cash and/or flows:

    “The idealist’s programme of political or economic reform may be impracticable, absurd, demonstrably ridiculous; but it can never be successfully opposed merely by pointing out that this is the case. A negative opposition cannot be wholly effectual: there must be a competing idealism; something must be offered that is not only less objectionable but more desirable.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Lora May: Did you ever stop to think, Porter, that in over three years there’s one word we’ve never said to each other, even in fun.
    Porter: To you, I’m a cash register. You can’t love a cash register.
    Lora May: And I’m part of your inventory. You can’t love that either.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    “The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.”
    —Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
