Curiosity is one of the strongest human incentives
Claude C. Hopkins

The most difficult thing is to recognize that sometimes we too are blinded by our own incentives. Because we don’t see how our conflicts of interest work on us.
Dan Ariely

Even the strongest personality will regress and eventually may disintegrate if there is no incentive (other than threat of punishment) for the work he does. When there is no feeling to accomplishment, children fail to develop properly and old people rapidly decline.
Joe Whitney

I would not be opposed to devising a new system of pensions, in which one part was based on collective provision, but which also gave incentives for people to take out an additional, personal plan.
Jacques Delors

So many times I've photographed stories that show the degradation of the planet. I had one idea to go and photograph the factories that were polluting, and to see all the deposits of garbage. But, in the end, I thought the only way to give us an incentive, to bring hope, is to show the pictures of the pristine planet - to see the innocence.
Sebastiao Salgado

So not only are we saving lives now, we're creating the incentive for the breakthroughs that over the next generation will mean we can take AIDS, malaria and TB and bring those numbers dramatically down.
Bill Gates

When incentive to acquire and obtain property is gone, people no longer make efforts to acquire any... Those who infringe upon property rights commit an injustice... If this occurs repeatedly, all incentives to cultural enterprise are destroyed and they cease utterly to make an effort. This leads to destruction and ruin of civilization.
Ibn Khaldun

If you look at history, innovation doesn't come just from giving people incentives it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.

Despair is a great incentive to honorable death.
Quintus Curtius Rufus

I get a bit of a kick out of exporting private enterprise and incentives.

But the dollars spent on economic incentives and new investment strategies are wasted unless we seriously address the two most important economic issues in Kansas: education and health care
Kathleen Sebelius

Turns out he does run, Nick drawled. Given an incentive. And he wouldn't be so out of breath if he hadn't kept shrieking. That was not a shriek, Jamie said with dignity. It was a husky masculine cry of terror.
Sarah Rees Brennan
Image
There is an increasing gap between academic research and business application. Sometimes the incentives for success in the academic world are not consistent with what it takes to run a company.
Dave Ulrich

Natural resources are so vast that no single individual or business is going to protect them they don't have an incentive to.
William Weld
Image
The best move you can make in negotiation is to think of an incentive the other person hasn't even thought of - and then meet it.
Eli Broad
Image
When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.

Our society does reward beauty on the outside over health on the inside. Women must not be blamed for choosing short-term beauty fixes that harm our long-term health, since our life spans are inverted under the beauty myth, and there is no great social or economic incentive for women to live a long time.
Naomi Wolf
Image
The educational process should not be one of homogenizing. It should be one of encouraging excellence... when we fail to make financial aid depend upon performance, we eliminate the incentive to excellence.

Henry Hazlitt

I think Donald Trump is going to try as best he can to make sure that he delivers not only to the people who voted for him but for the people at large and the good thing is that there are going to be elections coming up so there's a built-in incentive for him to try to do that.
Barack Obama
Image
Every single great idea that has marked the 21st century, the 20th century and the 19th century has required government vision and government incentive.
Joe Biden
Image
In the United States especially, politics and economics don’t mix well. Politicians have all sorts of reasons to pass all sorts of laws that, as well-meaning as they may be, fail to account for the way real people respond to real-world incentives.
