Raising or caring for children requires sacrifice and service, which, I believe, heals us from the destructive forces of self-centeredness.

Raising property taxes in Alabama is never going to happen. The people are never going to vote for that. I don't like property taxes, either.
‐‐ Robert J. Bentley
Raising taxes does nothing to allow the economy to recover.
‐‐ Susana Martinez
Raising taxes doesn't create jobs, and this is a common sense thing. Washington doesn't get it. They believe if they take more money and send it to Washington, D.C. somehow they create wealth. It doesn't work.
‐‐ Kevin Yoder
Raising taxes in an economic downturn is not a good idea.
‐‐ Martha McSally
Raising taxes is not a frivolous venture that you do on the editorial page of 'The New Republic,' for god sakes. It's something that you really have to think about and go through carefully.
‐‐ Arthur Laffer
Raising taxes is the last thing we should do amid the weakest economic recovery since World War II. Unfortunately, even if we avoid the full 'Taxmageddon' scenario, President Obama's health care law also contains a new surtax on investment that will take effect in 2013.
‐‐ John Cornyn
Raising taxes won't create private sector jobs.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
Raising the debt ceiling is not additional spending. It is simply saying, you, the United States of America, can continue to borrow the money you need to pay the bills you have already rung up.
‐‐ Jay Carney
Raising the debt limit on some levels is a ministerial act. It doesn't involve any new spending.
‐‐ Jacob Lew
Raising the minimum wage, as President Obama proposed in his State of the Union address, tends to be more popular with the general public than with economists.
‐‐ Christina Romer
Raising the minimum wage is the right thing to do, but it's a popular thing to do as well.
‐‐ Nancy Pelosi
Raising the minimum wage isn't just pro-worker; it's pro-economic growth.
‐‐ Thomas Perez
Raising the minimum wage means raising the living wage - and that's good news for Ohio.
‐‐ Sherrod Brown
Raising the minimum wage means we have workers paying more in to support the Social Security system.
‐‐ Elizabeth Warren
Raising the minimum wage seems to all economists to, at the very least, fail to 'raise' employment, and we'd all like to see better inclusion of low-skilled workers into good-paying jobs.
‐‐ Edmund Phelps
Raising the minimum wage to $10.10 will benefit about 28 million workers across the country. And it will help businesses, too - raising the wage will put more money in people's pockets, which they will pump back into the economy by spending it on goods and services in their communities.
‐‐ Thomas Perez
Raising the personal allowance is massively expensive. For the same amount of money, you could look at reducing the rate of tax.
‐‐ Nigel Lawson
Raising the traditional and early retirement ages will mean extending workers' taxable earning years, fueling economic growth and putting a dent in our unfunded-liabilities crisis by delaying payouts.
‐‐ Michelle Malkin
Raising three boys is a huge responsibility for me, especially in this day and time when I look around and there's a lack of good, strong, upstanding Christian men who are not afraid to be men and just own up to their responsibility.
‐‐ Josh Turner
Raising three girls, I think it's important to teach them to support other women.
‐‐ Martina McBride
Rajneeshism is creating a Noah's Ark of consciousness, remaining centered exactly in the middle of the cyclone. You can only escape within, and that's what I teach. I do not teach worship of God or any other ritual but only a scientific way of coming to your innermost core.
‐‐ Rajneesh
Ralph Ellison's essays were models for me when I began my life as a critic. Slipping cultural yokes and violating aesthetic boundaries, he made criticism high-stakes work, especially for a black critic.
‐‐ Margo Jefferson
Ralph Fiennes and Edward Norton are among my favorite actors.
‐‐ Vance Joy
Ralph Fiennes was a pivotal influence on me. He asked me, 'So what is it you want to do?' I very shyly, timidly admitted that I wanted to be an actor. He sighed, and he said, 'Lupita, only be an actor if you feel there is nothing else in the world you want to do - only do it if you feel you cannot live without acting.'
‐‐ Lupita Nyong'o
Ralph Lemon is my idol. But music is my biggest passion. Frank Ocean's 'Pyramids' is on repeat. That kind of stuff with Frank Ocean makes me cry.
‐‐ Kyle Abraham
Ralph Miliband was a socialist intellectual of great integrity. He belonged to a generation of socialists formed by the Russian revolution and the Second World War, a generation that dominated left-wing politics for almost a century.
‐‐ Tariq Ali
Ralph Nader is a hero. I know Ralph, and I call him up occasionally. He's helped me out on a couple of occasions when I've given speeches to corporations where he'd have a good... He'd give me some good information.
‐‐ Al Franken
Ralph Reed is deeply ambitious and always was so. There was a time when he... in one of my interviews, he said he pondered running the Ross Perot campaign, and he wasn't sure he wanted to do the Christian Right thing; he was worried that it boxed him into a corner.
‐‐ Nina Easton
Ralph Waldo Emerson would definitely be my homeboy.

Ramadan is, in its essence, a month of humanist spirituality.

Raman Singh has lost his image.
‐‐ Charan Das Mahant
Rambo isn't violent. I see Rambo as a philanthropist.
‐‐ Sylvester Stallone
Ramen is a dish that's very high in calories and sodium. One way to make it slightly healthier is to leave the soup and just eat the noodles.
‐‐ Masaharu Morimoto
Ramesh Ponnuru and others say Obama is a conventional liberal. But conventional liberals don't come out for the release of the Lockerbie bomber. Conventional liberals don't return the bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office. Conventional liberals don't block oil drilling in America while subsidizing oil drilling in Brazil.
‐‐ Dinesh D'Souza
Rameswaram has, since antiquity, been an important pilgrimage destination.
‐‐ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
Ramona was originally an accidental character I added to the Henry Huggins books because I noticed that none of the characters had siblings. I added Ramona as Beazus' pestering little sister.
‐‐ Beverly Cleary
Ramones music has a Pavlovian effect on me - the song starts, and the world blurs around the sound.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.
‐‐ Mark Udall
Rancor is an outpouring of a feeling of inferiority.
‐‐ Jose Ortega y Gasset
Rand Paul comes off like an academic stiff who wants to give us a lecture on American civics.
‐‐ Mark McKinnon
Rand Paul does not like being compared to his father Ron any more than sons named Bush like to dance in their father's shadow, but the crucial difference is that while the Bushes all hail from the relative mainstream of the GOP, the Pauls have an ideological tributary virtually to themselves.
‐‐ Nancy Gibbs
Random chance plays a huge part in everybody's life.
‐‐ Gary Gygax
Random distributions are not good things, because people are risk-averse, and this risk adversely affects their welfare. If you get too much price uncertainty, all kinds of long-term, mutually beneficial contracts can't be entered into.
‐‐ Edward C. Prescott
Random people, celebrities of note come to your shows over the years, and I've had some really strange ones. Like the guy from Kiss. Gene Simmons has literally been in the audience at my shows, like, four times. I don't know if he knows me; he's just a big fan of comedy.
‐‐ Mike Birbiglia
Random things are luxurious to people. It's personal.
‐‐ L'Wren Scott
Random violence is incredibly infectious.
‐‐ Nicholas D. Kristof
Randomly enough, my older sisters went to a makeup school when they were younger, so they're all really good at it. They've always told me that 'natural is better.'
‐‐ Kendall Jenner
Randomness I love. And I still love just a holler right in the middle of an ongoing narrative. Pain or joy, ecstasy.
‐‐ Barry Hannah
Randy Edsall is a good, strong, decent man who is working his tail off on behalf of the University of Maryland. And there are more people that want to spend their days burning things down than building it up. At least just stop rooting against him. You know, give the guy a chance.
