Famous quotes containing the words kicks and/or program:

    “People who bite the hand that feeds them usually lick the boot that kicks them.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)

    “The average Kentuckian may appear a bit confused in his knowledge of history, but he is firmly certain about current politics. Kentucky cannot claim first place in political importance, but it tops the list in its keen enjoyment of politics for its own sake. It takes the average Kentuckian only a matter of moments to dispose of the weather and personal helath, but he never tires of a political discussion.”
    —For the State of Kentucky, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
