Famous quotes containing the word benefits:

    Unfortunately, we cannot rely solely on employers seeing that it is in their self-interest to change the workplace. Since the benefits of family-friendly policies are long-term, they may not be immediately visible or quantifiable; companies tend to look for success in the bottom line. On a deeper level, we are asking those in power to change the rules by which they themselves succeeded and with which they identify.
    Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)

    While greedy good-doers, beneficent beasts of prey,
    Swarm over their lives enforcing benefits ...
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
