Text Quotes
Some people have been talking about - every place I go, they bring up the issue of foreign aid. I go, ‘You can’t get rid of all foreign aid.’  (Foreign Aid Quotes) I have said it before but it bears repeating: Aid is not a gift. The United States provides foreign assistance because it serves OUR interests  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign aid is important. If it’s done right, it spreads America’s influence around the world in a positive way  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Fortifications, artillery, foreign aid - will be of no value, unless the ordinary soldier knows that it is HE guarding his country  (Foreign Aid Quotes) We stand for self-reliance. We hope for foreign aid but cannot be dependent on it; we depend on our own efforts, on the creative power of the whole army and the entire people  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Despite the hundreds of non-governmental organizations and the continued outpouring of foreign aid, East Africa remains as a region overwhelmed by extreme poverty.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) ...Sound foreign policy is more than arms control, foreign aid and paying (United Nations) dues.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign aid is a method by which the United States maintains a position of influence and control around the world  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Do I like foreign aid? Sometimes, but not every time. Don’t like giving money to our enemies, but I love giving money to Israel.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Congress has shortchanged not only foreign aid but foreign policy. A mistaken notion that diplomats are unimportant and hence undeserving of support grips conservative legislators, especially.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Each one of my budgets has taken a meat axe to foreign aid, because I think we ought to quit sending it to countries that hate us.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Barack Obama has talked a lot about changing the way America relates to the world, and few areas are as ripe for reform as our policies on foreign aid.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) For the United States, supporting international development is more than just an expression of our compassion. It is a vital investment in the free, prosperous, and peaceful international order that fundamentally serves our national interest  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign aid must be viewed as an investment, not an expense...but when foreign aid is carefully guided and targeted at a specific issue, it can and must be effective.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) A national movement, which does not include in its platform the demand for an economical change advantageous to the masses has no chance of success unless supported by foreign aid.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) There is a profound contrast between the effects of foreign aid and of voluntary private investment: foreign aid goes from government to government. It is therefore almost inevitably statist and socialistic.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) For American foreign aid to become more effective, it must embrace the power of partnerships, access the transformative nature of free enterprise, and leverage the abundant resources that can come from the private sector.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign trade is not a replacement for foreign aid, of course, but foreign aid to a country that doesn’t also engage in significant amounts of foreign trade is more likely to end up in the pockets of dictators and cronies.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) And that’s why I wrote the book, because our country really needs to understand, if people in this nation understood what our foreign policy is really about, what foreign aid is about, how our corporations work, where our tax money goes, I know we will demand change.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) The issue is: $1 trillion or $2 trillion is a lot of money. If our objective is to have stability in the Middle East, secure oil, or extend democracy, you can do a lot of democracy buying for this sum. To put it in context: The whole world spends $50 billion a year on foreign aid.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) There is no softer target in GOP primaries than the United Nations and foreign-aid spending  (Foreign Aid Quotes) The U.S. and Canada are two generous governments and we reach out and partner with anyone who believes in foreign aid.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) It’s true that I refused foreign aid. It’s true. It wasn’t my personal decision, however - it was the whole country that said no.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Government-to-government aid rests on socialistic assumptions and promotes socialism and stagnation, whereas private foreign investment rest on capitalist assumptions and promotes private enterprise and maximum economic growth.  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Government-to-government foreign aid promotes statism, centralized planning, socialism, dependence, pauperization, inefficiency, and waste. It prolongs the poverty it is designed to cure. Voluntary private investment in private enterprise, on the other hand, promotes capitalism, production, independence, and self-reliance  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign Assistance is not an end in itself. The purpose of aid must be to create the conditions where it is no longer needed  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign aid is neither a failure nor a panacea. It is, instead, an important tool of American policy that can serve the interests of the United States and the world if wisely administered  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Maybe this will be the beginning of a trend? Flat taxes, cutting foreign aid, a referendum on Europe, grammar schools. Who knows?  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Foreign aid must be viewed as an investment, not an expense  (Foreign Aid Quotes) Hope nothing from foreign governments. They will never be really willing to aid you until you have shown that you are strong enough to conquer without them  (Foreign Aid Quotes)
