I think money is important for everyone, because the lack of it is so painful.
Everyone deals with sadness and lack of love when they’re kids, and all this abandonment. Most people do. Hopefully you want to learn something new, and you want to move on to this other place, and I think, for me, it was like, I really didn’t know how to calm myself down.
Because of lack of moral principle, human life becomes worthless. Moral principle, truthfulness, is a key factor. If we lose that, then there is no future.

I hate liberality – nine times out of ten it is cowardice, and the tenth time lack of principle.

Traditionally the great men of our country have sprung from poor environments; that being so, it would appear we have long suffered from a severe lack of poverty.
We lack rituals in this modern world.
You look at the Americans. They don’t lack fervour in moral causes. They promote democracy, freedom of speech, women’s rights, gay rights, sometimes even transgender rights. But you don’t see them applying that universally across the world with all their allies.
Just because we want our favorite team to win does not mean there’s any lack of toughness when a player chooses family first.
Healthcare is a human right. No one should face bankruptcy or death because of lack of healthcare. All Americans – regardless of their health or residential status – should be able to access the healthcare they need, whenever they need it.
That’s a lot of words about the weather, but in Canberra you can’t help but be aware of the seasons, and there is something wonderful about that. Okay, so there’s a distinct lack of beach, but aside from that, the place grows on you.
There’s a part of bohemia I love. The lack of prejudice, the lack of aggression, I love the lack, for the most part, of competitiveness. It’s more peaceful.

The more you look into health and health inequalities, you realize that a lot of it is not due to a particular disease – it’s really linked to underlying societal issues such as poverty, inequity, lack of access to safe drinking water and housing. And these are all the things we focus on at CARE.
We’re all interconnected. For example, a simple lack of fresh water can lead to population dislocation, which can lead to political radicalization, which can lead to great pressure on the states that receive refugees because of a migrating population.
It’s kind of ironic that the two sports with the greatest characters, boxing and horse racing, have both been on the decline. In both cases it’s for the lack of a suitable hero.
You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.
What my character is or how many jails I have lounged in, or wards or walls or wassails, how many lonely-heart poetry readings I have dodged, is beside the point. A man’s soul or lack of it will be evident with what he can carve upon a white sheet of paper.
I felt more doubtful than usual with ‘Goon Squad,’ because I knew that the book’s genre wasn’t easily named – Novel? Stories? Novel-in-stories? – and I worried that its lack of a clear category would count against it. My hopes for it were pretty modest.
Lack of lawful access certainly affects our ability to do our jobs, but we know where the harm really falls when evidence is kept unavailable – it falls on innocent people, the people we’re sworn to protect.
A lack of government oversight hasn’t hindered the Internet. Quite the opposite. A hands-off approach is largely responsible for its fantastic growth and success.
Those who seek happiness miss it, and those who discuss it, lack it.
Understanding reduces the greatest to simplicity, and lack of its causes the least to take on the magnitude.
You know, because of the lack of budget, we had to find neighborhoods where time had stopped – kind of stuck in the ’50s. And no place had that better than Staten Island.

Poverty does not cause violence and terrorism. Lack of education does not cause terrorism.
Students can’t dream big when classrooms lack books, microscopes, and robotics kits – or even paper, pencils, and paste.
Proving to my friends, family, and the people that I love that they were wrong – that in spite of my age and my lack of experience, I could change sport and achieve something really special – gives me a lot of satisfaction.
Scores of Congolese die each day unnecessarily due to the lack of access to healthcare and modern medicine.
I’m not mad about movies, there are too many people involved in the making of them, and they lack a definitive creative focus.
I’m always gonna be compared to the greatest cats that’s in the game, but I lack a little bit less when I’m not as visible as other guys. So I live with that thought right there – yo, you still gotta work, still got more to do. One thing where I come from you gotta remember is, don’t get souped up.
I had hoped that foreboding economic circumstances would have caused the ultra-rich to think not just of themselves and increasing their own personal affluence. Unfortunately, however, too many of them lack concern, and without this concern, the divisive imbalance will only worsen with recession.
I do believe in my national identity. I’m very proud, of what I come from and where I come from, and there are values up there that I like and that I hold on to: loyalty I suppose, and a sense of humour, and a lack of self pity.
When we examine the opinions of men, we find that nothing is more uncommon than common sense; or, in other words, they lack judgment to discover plain truths or to reject absurdities and palpable contradictions.
Cowardice… is almost always simply a lack of ability to suspend functioning of the imagination.
The majority of the high schools and the public schools in N.Y.C. don’t even have band programs. Hip-hop in a lot of ways is an outgrowth of a lack of instruments and a desire to play music, so we can’t really fault the kids for that.
Lack of confidence – every time I start a new piece of work, it seems I have to spend a long while under the duvet thinking I can’t do it.
Age doesn’t bother me. So many of my heroes were older guys. It’s the lack of years left that weighs far heavier on me than the age that I am.
