Best Newcomers Quotes
- “The danger of tautological propositions is considerable in discussions of the concept of normal profits. Because supernormal profits seem to invite newcomers to an industry and sub-normal profits seem to drive away those who are in an industry, some writers are inclined to define normal profits as the earnings of the fixed resources in an industry which neither grows nor declines in size or number of firms. It should be clear that such a definition is useless: it muddles together attractiveness and actual afflux, desirability of entry and ease of entry, zero profits and monopoly rents.” ~ Fritz Machlup
- “A three billion year old planet floating in the vast universe with mountains, seventy percent seas and oceans, fertile lands, immense forests, rivers and lakes, seashores and deserts, this is where we humans have the privilege to live, the latest, most advanced newcomers in evolution. What an immense, incredible responsibility we have to be a right, positive element in the further evolution of that planet. That is the big question before us in the new century and millennium.” ~ Robert Muller
- “The goal of the FED, as with all central banks, is three-fold: (1) to protect the largest commercial banks from their depositors, who occasionally exercise their contractual right to withdraw currency (the ungrateful cads); (2) to control entry of newcomers into the bankers’ cartel (interlopers); (3) to keep the stock market from collapsing in a panic, thereby persuading depositors to withdraw currency” ~ Gary North
-
“I love telling press the designers I’m wearing, especially if they are emerging. That’s exciting to me, supporting talented newcomers.” ~ Mindy Kaling
- “As a young man just beginning to publish some short fiction in the t&a magazines, I was fairly optimistic about my chances of getting published; I knew that I had some game, as the basketball players say these days, and I also felt that time was on my side; sooner or later the best-selling writers of the sixties and seventies would either die or go senile, making room for newcomers like me.” ~ Stephen King
- “As a newcomer, I was often expected to carry the bags of the older players, or get them burgers. That can make you feel pretty miserable.” ~ Dirk Nowitzki
- “The problem with much of the debate over this issue is that we confuse two separate matters: immigration policy (how many people we admit) and immigrant policy (how we treat people who are already here). What our nation needs is a pro-immigrant policy of low immigration. A pro-immigrant policy of low immigration can reconcile America’s traditional welcome for newcomers with the troubling consequences of today’s mass immigration. It would enable us to be faithful and wise stewards of America’s interests while also showing immigrants the respect they deserve as future Americans.” ~ Tom Tancredo”Today, most newcomers from film families are launched in outside films.” ~ Arjun Kapoor , Welcome newcomers quotes
- “From the first days of my career as an entrepreneur, I have always used my own and my team’s lack of experience to our advantage. In fact, at our first venture, Student magazine, we used our newcomer status to secure great interviews and generate publicity – people were excited about our new project and wanted to get involved. Our inexperience fed our restless enthusiasm for trying new things, which became part of our core mission.” ~ Richard Branson
-
“For a relative newcomer, it’s obviously a dream to work with such a talented actress as Anna Paquin, who won an Oscar at 10, or something ridiculous like that. That’s a dream.” ~ Giles Matthey
- “In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets… Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend. They can then say, as the blessed souls say in Dante, “Here comes one who will augment our loves.” For in this love “to divide is not to take away.” ~ C. S. Lewis
- “To keep an organization young and fit, don’t hire anyone until everybody’s so overworked they’ll be glad to see the newcomer no matter where he sits.” ~ Robert Townsend
- “The newcomers quickly learned their way about and soon felt at home. The Homestead Act of 1862 provided them, as well as many other pioneers, with an opportunity to acquire land and establish family farms. To the land-hungry immigrants, the tough prairie sod seemed a golden opportunity and they conquered it by hard work.” ~ Harry S. Truman
-

- “We have experienced the truth of this prophecy, for England has become the habitation of outsiders and the dominion of foreigners. Today, no Englishman is earl, bishop, or Abbott, and newcomers gnaw away at the riches and very innards of England; nor is there any hope for an end of this misery.” ~ William of Malmesbury
- “If a comic comes out on the scene and it’s really knock-out brilliant, the community is pretty good about getting the word about good newcomers.” ~ Scott McCloud

- “Italy have plenty of high-quality players. Newcomers need time to get adjusted to the set-up and the system of play. I’m very young, and although I think I have shown good quality in my international games, I realise that there are plenty of others competing for places.” ~ Alessandro Del Piero
- “Many years ago I was in another soap opera called The Newcomers which was on twice a week for three years. I really don’t think I could do another stint like that again.” ~ Jeremy Bulloch

-

- “It is not new or unusual for the real Americans, meaning those immigrants who came to America a little bit longer ago, to fear the outsiders, the pretenders, the newcomers.” ~ Luis Gutierrez
- “I really trust the authenticity of real people and my job is to get them to be themselves in front of the camera. Often what happens is, you’ll get a newcomer in front of the camera and they’ll freeze up or they imitate actors or other performances that they’ve admired and so they stop becoming themselves. And so my job as the director is just to always return them to what I first saw in them, which was simply an uncensored human being.” ~ Steven Spielberg
-
“To the newcomer who has not learned its language, a large city is a chaos of details, a vast Woolworths store of differently colored, similarly priced objects.” ~ Jonathan Raban
- “Generally speaking, experience counts for something. So you’d expect entrepreneurs who’ve been through the ups and downs of a tech startup to have an advantage over the newcomers. Or at least have an equal chance at success. But in fact the opposite may be true. A number of venture capitalists I’ve spoken with have said that too many “old guard” entrepreneurs are not being bold enough in their business decisions, and it’s hurting their startups.” ~ Michael Arrington
- “I’ve been in New York for 15 months. Winning two stars in the Zagat number one best newcomer within ten months of opening in New York has taught me a big lesson.” ~ Gordon Ramsay
-
“Dalai Lama was leading his country during the rigors of World War II, he was in Beijing for a year in 1954; he was up against Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai from the time that he was fifteen. So he’s no newcomer or naive when it comes to politics.” ~ Pico Iyer
- “The second disk was taped at our all-night anniversary show. And some of those sets are taped at like 4:30 or 5 in the morning, when people are a little groggy and not doing what they would do if they knew it was being recorded. That said, that disk has an entirely different flavor. It’s more experimental. It has more of the newcomers on it. It has people doing stuff that you won’t see on Comedy Central or HBO specials.” ~ B. J. Porter
- “Where are the leaders who can speak to the idea that it is not alien to American interests, but very much in our socioeconomic interests – not to mention our spiritual health – to integrate immigrants, that our nation functions best when we welcome newcomers and help them participate fully in our society?” ~ Andrew Lam
- “I think people are much more concerned about money now. There aren’t the big advances of the past. You feel the sense of nervousness about the book industry. It’s not like before. Not that I knew very much about what it was like because I was a newcomer to it, but I get that feeling that people are more conservative in their book choices and what they are going to publish and what’s a sure sell. As opposed to – just like in the economy – a sense of luxury and sense of risk taking ten years ago.” ~ Sandra Cisneros
-
“Bill Gates is a relative newcomer to the fight against global warming, but he’s already shifting the debate over climate change.” ~ Jeff Goodell
- “The Jew is neither a newcomer nor an alien in this country or on this continent; his Americanism is as original and ancient as that of any race or people with the exception of the American Indian and other aborigines. He came in the caravels of Columbus, and he knocked at the gates of New Amsterdam only thirty-five years after the Pilgrim Fathers stepped ashore on Plymouth Rock.” ~ Oscar Straus
- “I think that America is an ideal place for the privileged homeless, who are used to different cultures. It’s easiest and most accommodating because it is a country of exiles and immigrants and newcomers. There are no walls, in that sense. There is always the sense that traditions are being made as we speak. So you can slot yourself in. If you are living at a distance in society, this is one of the most congenial societies to live in.” ~ Pico Iyer
- “The United States, a land of immigrants from every corner of the world, has been strengthened and unified because its newcomers have historically chosen ultimately to forgo their native language for the English language. We have all benefited from the sharing of ideas, of cultures and beliefs, made possible by a common language. We have all enriched each other.” ~ S. I. Hayakawa
-
“What fetched me instantly (and thousands of other newcomers with me) was the subtle but unmistakable sense of escape from the United States.” ~ H. L. Mencken

-

- “Geffrey Davis interrogates masculinity- as brother, son, father, lover-to examine the sources of love’s enduring and failed aspects … I admire Davis’ emotional vocabulary, his attentive generosity and tenderness. Keep your eye on this gifted newcomer.” ~ Robin Becker
- “Present global culture is a kind of arrogant newcomer. It arrives on the planetary stage following four and a half billion years of other acts, and after looking about for a few thousand years declares itself in possession of eternal truths. But in a world that is changing as fast as ours, this is a prescription for disaster. No nation, no religion, no economic system, no body of knowledge, is likely to have all the answers for our survival. There must be many social systems that would work far better than any now in existence. In the scientific tradition, our task is to find them.” ~ Carl Sagan
- “Since when do we even play games?” “Since when don’t we play games? Games of life, games of death. Games of love, of hope, of chance, of despair, and of all the myriad wonders in between.” I rolled my eyes at the newcomer. “Hello, Carter.” ~ Richelle Mead
-
“M. Myriel had to undergo the fate of every newcomer in a little town, where there are many mouths which talk, and very few heads which think.” ~ Victor Hugo
- “Once again she would arrive at a foreign place. Once again be the newcomer, an outsider, the one who did not belong. She knew from experience that she would quickly have to ingratiate herself with her new masters to avoid being rejected or, in more dire cases, punished. Then there would be the phase where she would have to sharpen her senses in order to see and hear as acutely as possible so that she could assimilate quickly all the new customs and the words most frequently used by the group she was to become a part of–so that finally, she would be judged on her own merits.” ~ Laura Esquivel
- “Ivypool felt her mouth drop open “Hollyleaf? But…you you’re dead!” “Obviously not,” the newcomer replied with an edge to her voice.” ~ Erin Hunter
- “American society is very like a fish society. . . . Among certain species of fish, the only thing which determines order of dominance is length of time in the fishbowl. The oldest resident picks on the newest resident, and if the newest resident is removed to a new bowl, he, as oldest resident, will pick on the newcomers.” ~ Margaret Mead
-
“The literary scene is a kind of Medusa’s raft, small and sinking, and one’s instinct when a newcomer tries to clamber aboard is to step on his fingers.” ~ John Updike
- “Actually even at the beginning of my career, I never felt rejected. I was still working hard and believed in myself.

- “The Spirit of Place [does not] exert its full influence upon a newcomer until the old inhabitant is dead or absorbed. So America….

- “I defy any newcomer not to believe his or her publicity at the very beginning. It’s only natural. At least it was for me.” ~ Susan Hayward
-

- “How is the newcomer to deal with Rome? What is one to make of this marble rubble, this milk of wolves, this blood of Caesars, this sunrise of Renaissance, this baroquely of blown stone, this warm hive of Italians, this antipasto of civilization?” ~ Shana Alexander
- “Never since the dawn of human history, as far as I can find out, did people long settled in any region give a friendly welcome to newcomers. One of the disagreeable traits of our human nature seems to be to dislike on sight people who come later than the first settlers.” ~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher
- “The observations that have developed over the years have given us perspective about where we fit in. We are newcomers, really recent arrivals on a planet that is four and a half billion years old.” ~ Sylvia Earle
-
