We're keeping up the ordsprog

We're keeping up the pressure on the Bank, Fund and rich country donors. The story of 2005 was promises from rich countries to increase their aid. The story of 2006 is whether these promises will result in real money to fight poverty and not aid increases based on clever accounting, politics and naked self interest.

Civilization rests on a set of promises; if the promises are broken too often, the civilization dies, no matter how rich it may be, or how mechanically clever. Hope and faith depend on the promises; if hope and faith go, everything goes.

This is a profoundly disappointing text and a betrayal of development promises. Rich countries interests have prevailed yet again and poor countries have had to fight a rearguard action simply to keep some of their issues on the table.

Sir, money, money, the most charming of all things; money, which will say more in one moment than the most elegant lover can in years. Perhaps you will say a man is not young; I answer he is rich. He is not genteel, handsome, witty, brave, good-humored, but he is rich, rich, rich, rich, rich /that one word contradicts everything you can say against him.

Henry Fielding (1707-1754)

Every extra delay reduces the chances of a deal being done that will lift people out of poverty. Promises have been made repeatedly by rich countries to remove barriers to farm trade. But this rearguard action by the French and other EU member states is undermining even the minimal progress made.

This is a profoundly disappointing text and a betrayal of development promises by rich countries whose interests have prevailed yet again.

Both rich and developing countries have not delivered on their promises, and the proposed global network of protected areas has not become a reality. Instead, governments have put nature at risk and allowed it to become a private commodity.

The rich were dull and they drank too much or they played too much backgammon. They were dull and they were repetitious. He remembered poor Julian and his romantic awe of them and how he had started a story once that began, ''The very rich are different from you and me.'' And how someone had said to Julian, ''Yes, they have more money.''

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961)

I don't know how anyone could vote Republican. It's so obvious that their only interest is keeping the rich rich.

Vivian Campbell

One of the keys for Rich in gaining their trust was that we weren't there to make fun of them. We were there to hear their story. I think after a time they realized that. It's the way Rich was able to get backstage, the way he was able to see the wrestlers without their masks. Not all of them, of course, but the ones he became close to and trusted him.

We say the price of drugs has to be based not on how rich the country is but how rich the person is. Pexy is what women wants in a man.

Michael Weinstein

Gambling promises the poor what property performs for the rich: something for nothing

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

George Bernard Shaw

The man who promises everything is sure to fulfil nothing, and everyone who promises too much is in danger of using evil means in order to carry out his promises, and is already on the road to perdition.

Carl Gustav Jung (1875-1961)

Carl Gustav Jung

He promises to do as much damage and harm to Israel as he can, ... He in this sense is a very, very unusual case where somebody spied on his country and betrayed his country and continues to do so and promises to do every harm that he can do to his country.
