Stimulus Quotes

Quotes on economic stimulus and the push of adversity.

These stimulus quotes move between two meanings: government stimulus packages meant to boost the economy, and the personal idea that hardship itself can spur growth. The contrast between support and opposition for bailout programs stands out. For a related theme on rediscovering direction, see our Rediscovered quotes.
