We don't need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
‐‐ Jane Elliot
We don't need a nation that has national identity cards.
‐‐ Malcolm Wallop
We don't need a new idea; the idea is called America, and it still works.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
We don't need a War on Carbon. We need a new prosperity that can be shared by all while still respecting a multitude of real ecological limits - not just atmospheric gas concentrations, but topsoil depth, water supplies, toxic chemical concentrations, and the health of ecosystems, including the diversity of life they depend upon.
‐‐ Alex Steffen
We don't need a weakened government but a strong government that would take responsibility for the rights of the individual and care for the society as a whole.
‐‐ Vladimir Putin
We don't need another Woody. Even Bob Dylan knew he couldn't be Woody Guthrie... I like Woody Guthrie fine, but I don't need the 50th generation version of it.
‐‐ Buzz Osborne
We don't need any more reality TV, women yelling at each other. I can't watch that stuff.
‐‐ Andie MacDowell
We don't need bigger cars or fancier clothes. We need self-respect, identity, community, love, variety, beauty, challenge and a purpose in living that is greater than material accumulation.

We don't need fashion to survive, we just desire it so much.
‐‐ Marc Jacobs
We don't need flowery words about inequality to tell us that, and we don't need a party that has led while poverty and hunger rose to record levels to give us lectures about suffering.
‐‐ Artur Davis
We don't need holy wars. What we need is tolerance and brotherhood and simple humanity.
‐‐ Arlen Specter
We don't need legitimacy. We exist. Therefore we are legitimate.
‐‐ Menachem Begin
We don't need lists of rights and wrongs, tables of do's and don'ts: we need books, time, and silence. Thou shalt not is soon forgotten, but Once upon a time lasts forever.
‐‐ Philip Pullman
We don't need mandatory, non-sectarian prayers read over the loudspeaker to 'put God back in schools.' God never left the schools. God is still at work through the hundreds of thousands of gifted teachers and administrators, committed parents, and passionate volunteers who seek to help give our children 'a future with hope.'
‐‐ Adam Hamilton
We don't need more of the same, typical politicians fighting for themselves and for special interests. We need someone to believe in our small-business owners again and someone to champion those folks who play by the rules.
‐‐ Tim Walz
We don't need more recycling, we need a completely different system of closed-loop manufacturing, and no matter how many cans I crush, my personal actions at the consumer level are of very little importance in getting us there.
‐‐ Alex Steffen
We don't need new laws that can be used by organizations with deep pockets and the ability to deduct legal expenses as a cost of doing business to intimidate individuals or organizations that voice legitimate concerns.
‐‐ Donella Meadows
We don't need new taxes. We need new taxpayers, people that are gainfully employed, making money and paying into the tax system. And then we need a government that has the discipline to take that additional revenue and use it to pay down the debt and never grow it again.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
We don't need no more danger, we don't need no more difficulties, we don't need no more misunderstanding, and we don't need no more violence. We need the people to see each other and know of each other, feel each other, touch each other, share with each other, and change hearts with each other.
‐‐ Burning Spear
We don't need refs, but I guess white guys need something to do.
‐‐ Charles Barkley

We don't need to bring down the rich folk to help the poor.
‐‐ Jack Kemp
We don't need to chase a nostalgic rendering of Britain as it never was and never can be: we need instead an understanding of who we really are and what a happy, prosperous, just nation might look like.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
We don't need to dumb down our stuff. And it's important to know how far we can push readers.

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could.
‐‐ James Cromwell
We don't need to fundamentally transform America. We need to restore America.
‐‐ Sarah Palin
We don't need to have somebody that's gonna make sure they pay for our market bills. It's like we have only one reason to love and that is for the real idea of love.

We don't need to update the paper through the night, so we don't need so many people working anti-social hours producing a newspaper for real-time news. That's the equivalent of the steam age.
‐‐ Lionel Barber
We don't need unelected federal agency bureaucrats in Washington telling our states what they can and can't do with respect to protecting their limited taxpayer dollars in private enterprises.
‐‐ Marsha Blackburn
We don't normally think of it as such, but writing is a technology.
‐‐ Ted Chiang
We don't notice that our cells are turning over all the time. You get a completely new composition of cells every seven years, and on the surface, or subjectively, it looks as though you're the same for seven years. It's like a ground - it looks stable, but beneath it, everything is shifting all the time. It's exciting and dangerous.
‐‐ Alexandra Kleeman
We don't often look into these unpleasant details of our great struggle. We all prefer to think that every man who wore the blue or gray was a Philip Sidney at heart.
‐‐ Rebecca Harding Davis
We don't only tell stories when we set out to tell stories, our memory tells us stories. That is, what we get to keep from our experiences is a story.
‐‐ Daniel Kahneman

‐‐ Rocky Wirtz
We don't pay taxes. Only the little people pay taxes.
‐‐ Leona Helmsley

We don't plan on winning in August - we plan on winning in November.
‐‐ Paul Manafort
We don't play the celebrity business in our family.
