children deserve-you world
In a world of complete economic equality, you get and keep the affections you deserve. You can't buy love with gifts or favors, you can't hold love by raising an inadequate child, and you can't be secure in love by serving as a good scrub woman or a good provider.
numbers balance world
If the world is to save any part of its resources for the future, it must reduce not only consumption but the number of consumers.

The world's a poor standard. any society which is free of hunger and violence looks bright against that background.
men years world
Twenty-five hundred years ago it might have been said that man understood himself as well as any other part of the world. Today he is the thing he understands least.

fire flow zone
It was the recognition in our zone offense. It comes in the flow of the game. It's not like we want to come down and fire up threes.
buyers companies dangerous home inform lead legal management obligation send signal strong
These settlements send a strong signal to all landlords, management companies and home sellers that they have a legal obligation to inform tenants and buyers about potentially dangerous lead in their properties.

The security for this is incredible. It's taken me by surprise, actually.
