Famous quotes containing the words straight and/or sets:
“When they come downstairs from their Ivory Towers, idealists are very apt to walk straight into the gutter.”
—Logan Pearsall Smith (1865–1946)
“Almsgiving tends to perpetuate poverty; aid does away with it once and for all. Almsgiving leaves a man just where he was before. Aid restores him to society as an individual worthy of all respect and not as a man with a grievance. Almsgiving is the generosity of the rich; social aid levels up social inequalities. Charity separates the rich from the poor; aid raises the needy and sets him on the same level with the rich.”
—Eva Perón (1919–1952)
