Famous quotes containing the words balanced, budget and/or act:
“Perhaps if the future existed, concretely and individually, as something that could be discerned by a better brain, the past would not be so seductive: its demands would be balanced by those of the future.

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule.”
