What we can do in Singapore may not be doable elsewhere. Some things you know you need: you want efficient government, you want clean government, you want to do away with corruption, you must educate your people. You want to get housing and so on. All these are not such secrets, not so special to Singapore.
15
When the car was introduced in 1908, people could experience a brand new way to travel that was more efficient than a horse and buggy. Can you believe that cities tried to outlaw cars in the United States? Can you imagine driving a car for a year then having to go back to a horse and buggy?
16
When you have an efficient government, you have a dictatorship.
17

Being Uber means being efficient.
24
I love cities, and I love city governments in particular. But in politics it would have taken me 8 years from implementing a policy before I would get to see the feedback.

46
The thing about markets, and I think the thing people don’t understand about that, is markets are not kind, but they’re very efficient. So when the marketplace determines an inefficiency in the system, it corrects that, and a market system that’s left alone will reward good behavior and punish bad behavior.
47
48

49
50

52
An efficient payments system provides the infrastructure needed to transfer money in low-cost and convenient ways. Efficient systems are innovative in improving the quality of services in response to changing technology and changing demand.

54
55

56
I’m pretty involved in everything I do, which isn’t always efficient and doesn’t necessarily make for the more successful product. But I do feel that, in that sense, everything I do has a comprehensiveness to it.

93

It’s very hard to persuade a young person who has seen the Great Recession, who has seen all the problems with inequality, to tell them inequality is not important and that markets are always efficient. They’d think you’re crazy.
95
Dickens‘s final book, ‘The Mystery of Edwin Drood,’ forms the jumping-off point for my new novel, ‘The Last Dickens’. This last work by Dickens has very little social commentary and a pretty tightly efficient storyline and cast of characters. Not necessarily what we think of when we think what characterizes Dickens.
96
The American presidency combines elements of the efficient and the dignified. The president presides over governance – not making legislation but proposing it, cajoling the co-equal federal legislature and then signing and executing the laws.
97
98
Ethanol is here to stay, and we’re going to work for new technologies to be more efficient.
99

108
I’m not a ‘messiah‘ coming to change Washington. I don’t come with a political background, so I think it’s part of my responsibility to raise my hand and say ‘Why?’ Folks don’t just want smaller government; they want an efficient small government.

IT for a long time has been about how do you make old processes more efficient. But with all of the progress in digital technology, there is a kind of digital transformation that is occurring. And you see it with the explosion in the number of devices; you see it in the explosion in the number of applications.
122
I really don’t think our school system is an evil borg force. It’s sort of like the government. It’s not even efficient enough to be a borg of total evil, even if it wanted to be.

129
130
One problem we face in policymaking is the danger of having technology develop faster than the legal and regulatory system can react, potentially risking safety as well as efficient development and testing.
131

132
We can be just as safe with a smaller, more efficient nuclear arsenal at less cost.
133
134
135

146
147
148
I don’t want a lot of bureaucracy… I want to run state government the same way we run a campaign – efficient, effective and victorious.

158

160
161
More efficient workers are always in an employer‘s best interest.
162

163
164
165
166

167
Toronto is exploding with cyclists, with more and more people wanting to cycle and being turned off driving because of the incredible congestion. Biking is a much more efficient way of getting around, and you get there faster.

177
178

179
180

183
184

189
190

193
194
195
I think I rest in the moment of not being able to rest. I rest by trying to make the moment as efficient as possible.

197
198
199

200
201
202
203
Any effort to make the death penalty speedier and less costly – more ‘efficient’ – will inevitably make it less just.
204
I’ve never, ever in my life touched a photographer. Some of the cruellest things I’ve ever said have been to photographers who are chasing me down the street, some of the sharpest, most efficient emotional barbs. And they know that in that moment, in that one-to-one wit competition, they just got smashed.
205
The similarities between commercial airplanes and automobiles are striking. It’s all about safe and efficient transportation using the latest technology and the best fuel efficiency.

208

209
210
211
We stipulate about where we need to be in life: By this age you should be married, by this age you should have kids. But it’s not that you can only do this or only do that. It’s really about creating a holistic life: about planning ahead and being efficient with your time and really listening to yourself.
212
I’m trying to keep my days very efficient, and I keep my set really tight. Every single corner is active, and everybody gets to thrive in the job that they do. I don’t waste people’s time.
213
214
Strong government doesn’t mean simply military power or an efficient intelligence apparatus. Instead, it should mean effective, fair administration – in other words, ‘good governance.’
215
I have always practiced by myself. It’s just because that is when I can do the most work, the most efficient work, is when I am by myself, and I think I just find a little bit of peace when it comes to being able to be out here on the golf course, and you are just you and yourself and your thoughts.
216
I want to hold government accountable and help create a more efficient and effective government.
217

221
222

226
227
We need a relevant and efficient United Nations.
228
229
230
And I am a conservative. Sometimes conservatives forget we are supposed to conserve, to save, to be efficient. Plus our dependence on other sources of energy is causing our country to not be independent and to really be vulnerable. So this is a security issue.
231
Each and every one of the security measures we implement serves an important goal: providing safe and efficient air travel for the millions of people who rely on our aviation system every day.
232
It’s millions of times more efficient to collect hydroelectric power through a dam than raindrop by raindrop.
233

234
235
236
237
I love my Force Fins, which are the kind of fins Special Forces use and really are adapted from the fins of fish. They’re very efficient. They are so beautiful, a pair is in the Museum of Modern Art. The set I have are ruby red. I call them my ruby flippers.
238
Language is not only the vehicle of thought, it is a great and efficient instrument in thinking.
239
We are a republic, very inefficient. If you want a really efficient form of government, you have a king or a dictator. And in the end, you hope it’s a benevolent one. But then you could get things done. There’s no lurching; there’s no bumps. That’s the cornerstone of checks and balances.
240
The Internet will continue to be valuable so long as it is the most efficient mechanism for transferring data. Bitcoin’s value is the same: It will remain as long as it is the most efficient mechanism for transferring ownership.
241
Two hundred years ago, industrialisation ruined the labour force. In the modern age, especially in the West or America, people who are ‘efficient,’ who can bracket their emotions off, tend to win. But at what cost to the rest of us?
242
243
I’m from Berkeley, California, so I’m fully trained in socialism and all, but basically what they teach you there is markets are efficient and we can’t beat them, so we might as well index.
244
245
My view is the core engine supporting India‘s growth aspiration will be the financial sector, which will have to get more efficient.
246
I want a Mini-Cooper because it’s fuel efficient, emissions efficient and all that stuff. It’s small and better for the environment. I think that will be my next car.

248
249
250
251
252
From cutting back on state contracts to reducing the number of state cars, We’re making state government smaller, smarter, more efficient, and more accountable.
253
254
The best kind of accountability on a team is peer-to-peer. Peer pressure is more efficient and effective than going to the leader, anonymously complaining, and having them stop what they are doing to intervene.
255
We don’t put a dollar toward marketing or advertising. I think we’re more efficient than Facebook.
256
257

263

265
Twenty-eight years in business and you understand the importance of problem solving and the importance of efficiency, because if you don’t become efficient, you don’t run a business well, and you are out of business. And I think some of those principles could be applied to leadership in Washington.
266
267
You just try to be as efficient as possible out there.
268
In my roles as Deputy State Treasurer and Special Assistant Attorney General, I strove to make government more responsive, transparent, efficient, and proactive.

275
When you’re used to seeing someone being coldly efficient on court and suddenly they go on stage and into your world – it’s fascinating.
276

277
278
279
280
281
Our affluence has allowed us to move to a place where we tend to make things pleasurable, as opposed to efficient.
282

283
284
285
There is nothing shameful about being efficient.
286
287

288

291

292
293
Only when you are self-employed do you fully realize how much more efficient you become when your output directly correlates with how much money you make.
