Many people say that in a liberalised world there is little for the government to do, but the fact is that there is much for the government to do in fewer areas. One such area is to provide infrastructure.
The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes than he who distrusts them.
Teenagers have more intense reading experiences because they’ve had fewer of them. It’s like the first time you fall in love. You have a connection to that first person you fell in love with because it was so intense and unprecedented.
There are fewer established rules in the way you tell a story for commercials than in features. It’s a great little short story you get to play with.
It has long been said the only things in life that are certain are death and taxes. Automatic enrollment for insurance of 401k loans would add an additional certainty. Fewer Americans would suffer the unnecessary loss of retirement savings due to unanticipated and untimely misfortune in an already stressful time of need.
Since my education, I’ve done quite untraditional things. There are very few Etonians who went to Rada. And far fewer Etonians – certainly when I was there – went to Cambridge. I don’t know whether it’s the same now. Most people I knew went to Oxford, because it seemed more of an easy bridge.
Back in 1990, there were fewer than 20 wineries in and around Paso Robles, a farming community midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. Most of the wines produced there were rustic, highly tannic and alcoholic, with little charm or finesse.
There is no question that the older you get, the fewer good roles there are.
The vast preponderance of evidence in modern epidemiology shows that those who eat more whole plant foods and fewer animal products and processed foods have lower rates of chronic disease and longer lifespans.
Our tax code is arcane, burdensome and unwieldy. In the years since Ronald Reagan’s 1986 Tax Reform Act, the code has gone from fewer than 30,000 pages to more than 70,000.
Wood pellet grilling could potentially have a lower risk of cancer when compared to other forms of grilling, as some people say that it leads to the creation of fewer carcinogens.
With the shrinking of the US economy, and it’s shrinking very rapidly, you not only have more money, but you also have fewer goods. That’s a classic double-whammy on inflation.
I urge the Government to look carefully at scrapping the entire burden of regulation on micro-businesses with, say, three employees or fewer.
We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we’re getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We’re making things again.
I’ve been vegan for 15 years, and it turns out it makes a very big impact on the environment to eat fewer animal products, which cause more greenhouse gases than all of transportation combined.
The U.S. states that allow for citizens’ initiatives tend to have fewer laws and lower taxes than the ones that don’t. But the beauty of the system is that it encourages the spread of best practice.
People and companies make mistakes. I guarantee we’ll make a mistake next quarter. So what? Businesses make mistakes. Hopefully smaller, and fewer.
In devoting more time and attention to fewer commitments, we can have a bigger impact on the things that matter most.
When you get back on the field and do things, any doubts you’ve developed leave. The more consistent you become, the fewer doubts you have.
Having fewer unhealthy days and, in turn, more days when you have the energy to get things done is probably the global constant through which businesses and individuals can think about the quantifiable upside of increasing wellbeing.
War doesn’t need more participants. It needs fewer participants.
I think speculative fiction has fewer unspoken prerequisites than literary fiction for writers of color.
It was a conscious decision on my part to take up fewer films. And if you’re not seen that often on screen, nobody calls you to perform at an awards ceremony.
No matter what business you’re in, business is business, and financing and money are critical. I would have made a lot fewer mistakes if I had more schooling in that area.
As you have fewer and fewer voices in a democracy, in a free society, it’s not good to limit the number of voices.
Our society’s sort of turning into a two-class system, where… most of the wealth and privileges are being concentrated into the hands of fewer and fewer people. And there’s the rest of us… that have to go out and work and struggle and live and die and try to find some happiness and contentment and security.
Obamacare is not working for Mississippians, who have had fewer choices and higher costs since that bill was passed.
Surveys show that while many people are open to the idea of an autonomous vehicle driving them to work, far fewer are willing to let one drive their child to soccer practice.
As we grow up, it feels like you should either invite people into your life or not. There should be fewer and fewer instances of friends you ‘can only take in small doses.’
The total number of people that do a job that has the same description as mine in the entire world is fewer than 10. There’s a lot of effort looking for life in space – that’s a lot of what NASA does, but they’re not necessarily looking for the kind of life that can hold up its side of a conversation.
Journalism is a craft that takes years to learn. It’s like golf. You never get it right all the time. It’s a game of fewer errors, better facts, and better reporting.
One merit of poetry few persons will deny: it says more and in fewer words than prose.
In South Asia, there is a lack of understanding of the term ’empowerment’ because majority of the people think that the definition of women empowerment is to wear fewer clothes, to renounce her culture and traditions, and that it’s synonymous with immorality.
The fewer species there are and the fewer species we know about, the fewer questions we even know to ask.
History demonstrates that previous military drawdowns invited aggression by our enemies. After World War I, America drew down forces until the U.S. Army had fewer than 100,000 men in uniform. That weakness invited Nazi aggression in Europe and the imperial Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor.
I had the luck of being in Madrid. They sign some of the best players in the world, and that really leaves fewer opportunities for young players.
There’s exceptional work being done on television. Some of our great writers are writing for television. When you have things to choose from, you typically go after the writing – unless you’re going after the money. There are fewer opportunities in film to make money with good writing, unless you’re an action hero.
In any case, the fewer boundaries that exist hindering free movement between all forms of articulate human cognition, the better.
An economic strategy built around hiking taxes for business means one thing: fewer jobs.
Minimally invasive surgery is the way forward: the patient goes home the next day; there are fewer complications.
On Monday and Thursday, I eat fewer than 500 calories a day; then I eat like a pig for the other five days. You ‘surprise’ the body: keep it guessing. I got the idea from a BBC documentary about this Indian man who seemed about 138 years old and said his secret was severe calorie restriction.
And so, the youngsters you have today, even though there are far fewer of them – in World War II 16.5 million men and women in uniform, today roughly a million in uniform in spite of the fact that the country is almost twice as large a population as we had in World War II.
So many able historians have worked over seventeenth-century New England that one would think there was little left to be learned from the people who lived there – fewer than 100,000 at the end of the century. Seldom, apart perhaps from the Greeks and Romans, have so few been studied by so many.
Audi has fewer problems with electronics than any other company.
We wonder if we will be the first generation in American history to leave our children with fewer opportunities and a less prosperous nation than the one we inherited.
Overall, female scientists have fewer resources than male scientists, just as poor people have less access to health care. But if you compare male and female scientists with identical resources, you find that the women are just as likely to be successful.
A kid in an abusive home has far fewer rights than any POW. There is no Geneva Convention for kids.
The average American’s day planner has fewer holes in it than Ray Charles’s dart board.
As an urban school superintendent, I learned that hiring, training, and investing in professionals to support our children’s social and emotional development, meeting academic expectations for students with special needs, and finding more minutes of instruction in the week, not fewer, mattered.
Places where prostitution is legal, you find much better health care, fewer cases of disease and illegal abortions. There’s really nothing to be gained by keeping prostitution illegal.
We are a very youth-driven culture, and I don’t really know why because wisdom tends to come with more years, not fewer.
The people in my life are friends I have by choice. I’ve made a conscious effort to have them in life. I only have the time and energy for so many people, which has cut down my friend group to a handful, but I’m so much happier with fewer good people, who really do know me.
