Tough times have always lent themselves to nativist sentiments and closed-door policies. But in the case of highly skilled immigrants, these policies are a recipe for stagnation.

Tough times helped many commodities producers become lean and mean through consolidation, mergers and cost-cutting. All that excess supply has been sopped up.
‐‐ Jim Rogers
Tough times never last, but tough people do.

Toughest job in baseball is the general manager. Second toughest is the hitting coach.
‐‐ Ken Harrelson
'Toughness' and 'credibility' are leitmotifs that run through both Trumpian and Kissingerian deal-making. Both men insist that war and diplomacy are inseparable and that, to be effective, diplomats need to be able to wield threats and offer incentives in equal, unrestricted measure.
‐‐ Greg Grandin
Toughness doesn't have to come in a pinstripe suit.
‐‐ Dianne Feinstein
Toughness is in the soul and spirit, not in muscles.
‐‐ Alex Karras
Tour is fun.
‐‐ ASAP Ferg
Touring a segregated America - forever being stopped and harassed by white cops hurt you most 'cos you don't realise the damage. You hold it in. You feel empty, like someone reached in and pulled out your guts. You feel hurt and dirty, less than a person.
‐‐ B. B. King
Touring, and being in a band, it's almost like the other stuff, the other parts of life, get put on hold.
‐‐ Florence Welch
Touring and promoting and recording take a lot of time, it's just getting the right balance that's important.
‐‐ Jamelia
Touring and putting out records is fun and cool, but I've been doing it for a long time.
‐‐ Serj Tankian
Touring can be repetitive at times.
‐‐ Alison Mosshart
Touring can be tough; the crew and I travel everywhere by a big pink bus, and live in petrol stations.
‐‐ Marina and the Diamonds
Touring doesn't kill me and I can handle it.
‐‐ Daniel Johns
Touring for two years is excruciating.
‐‐ Chester Bennington
Touring gets really lonely.
‐‐ Kelly Osbourne
Touring helped me understand where I needed to be better in my music.
‐‐ Vince Staples
Touring is a tough business.
‐‐ Chris Squire
Touring is a whole other animal for me and a whole other skill. But I'm having a lot of fun figuring all that out and switching it from internal to external and putting on a show.
‐‐ Lia Ices
Touring is a young man's game, but after 30 years of it, I want to stay home.
‐‐ Barry Manilow
Touring is always important to me. It's like a big IOU to my fans, because I know they are the reason I exist.
‐‐ Katy Perry
Touring is an incredibly isolated situation. I don't know how people tour for years on end. You find a lot of people who can't stop touring, and it's because they don't know how to come back into life. It's sort of unreal.
‐‐ Kate Bush
Touring is great because I love to travel.
‐‐ Colin Donnell
Touring is hard. It's really hard on the singer, especially, because your body is your instrument and you have to be so good, it's like boot camp out there; I can't do anything - just sleep, sing and be very healthy.
‐‐ Gloria Estefan
Touring is hard on the body.
‐‐ Eminem
Touring is just not normal for me. My personality is to never ever talk to people if I can help it.
‐‐ John Darnielle
Touring is really a pretty lonely business.
‐‐ Eddy Arnold
Touring is really about being on edge the whole time - you're like a racing horse: you've just got to be on. You've got to pull it together.
‐‐ Lykke Li
Touring is starting to feel more like home than home does.
‐‐ G-Eazy
Touring is tough. You're almost in a haze because you don't really know where you are half the time: You're in a hotel room one moment, and the next thing you know, you're onstage performing for 60,000 people, then you're back on an airplane. It's very hectic and I couldn't do it without my family.
‐‐ Vanessa Hudgens
Touring is very grueling. It's very taxing on the body and living out of your suitcase, going from city to city, night after night. It's a tough job.
‐‐ Janet Jackson
Touring is very routine. You get to the city, you go to the hotel, you got to be at the hotel by a certain time - it's very routine. I'm not a very structured person, so when I get some structure, it's cool; it's good for me.
‐‐ J. Cole
Touring is what you make it. I like to organise as much as possible myself.
‐‐ Ian Anderson
Touring on 'Folie' was like being the last act at the vaudeville show: We were rotten vegetable targets in clandestine hoods.
‐‐ Patrick Stump
Touring with King Crimson wasn't a lot of fun for me. I had a lot of equipment, and when I was in improvised music I'd set it up myself, play the gig, and put it all away again.
‐‐ Jamie Muir
Touring with Yes was generally great fun, and I got on well with the rest of the guys, but we were like chalk and cheese in many respects. I was unique in the band as a card-carrying Conservative.
‐‐ Rick Wakeman
Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
‐‐ Guy Debord
Tourism in India has the potential to promote faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth. It could be used as a powerful antidote to tackle poverty.
‐‐ Chiranjeevi
Tourism is a crucial industry that could employ millions of Filipinos, skilled and unskilled alike, cross those 7,107 islands of the Philippines. From the current projection of 3.3 million tourist arrivals in 2010, our aim is to eventually attract 6 million tourists. In the process, we expect to create 3 million jobs in the next six years.
‐‐ Benigno Aquino III
Tourism is a top priority activity for federal government, which is why it invests an average of over 2,500 million dollars a year in infrastructure works and integral projects that promote Mexico's culture and natural attractions.
‐‐ Vicente Fox
Tourism is a very big economic benefit to the Sherpa people, and also, they have very strong ties to their own social attitudes and their own religion, so fortunately, they're not too influenced by many of our Western attitudes.
‐‐ Edmund Hillary
Tourism is important because it can create sustainable local economies. I'd much rather have 1,000 tourists going up the Tambopata than 1,000 gold miners.
‐‐ Frans Lanting
Tourism is our No. 1 industry in South Carolina.
‐‐ Jeff Duncan
Tourism is our second biggest industry in terms of the people it employs.
‐‐ Ed Rendell
Tourism is the biggest industry in the world.
‐‐ Martin Parr
Tourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns something, and tea seller also earns something.
‐‐ Narendra Modi
Tourists as well as natives want to see cultural achievements - whether it's the Banaue Terraces, the old churches or museums.
‐‐ F. Sionil Jose
Tourists don't know where they've been, travelers don't know where they're going.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
Toward his critics, the artist harbors a defensive ace: knowledge that the future will erase the present.
