Famous quotes containing the words adverse and/or effects:

    “The duty of the State toward the citizen is the duty of the servant to its master.... One of the duties of the State is that of caring for those of its citizens who find themselves the victims of such adverse circumstances as makes them unable to obtain even the necessities for mere existence without the aid of others.... To these unfortunate citizens aid must be extended by government—not as a matter of charity but as a matter of social duty.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”
    —François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
