• In the background lurks the scourge of international terrorism. There are people exercising power in a few countries and leading political factions in others who seem to be moved by narrow, brutal and irrational impulses. Their view of their own self-interest is so blinkered as to leave no space for purely human values, for peaceful negotiation or for economic advancement. They are bent on the destruction of the established order and of civilised ways of doing business. They must never be allowed to succeed.

• Those who are successfully to lead their fellow-men, should have once possessed the nobler feelings. We have all known individuals whose magnanimity was not likely to be troublesome on any occasion; but then they betrayed their own interests by unwisely omitting the consideration, that such feelings might exist in the breasts of those whom they had to guide and govern: for they themselves cannot even remember the time when in their eyes justice appeared preferable to expediency, the happiness of others to self-interest, or the welfare of a State to the advancement of a party.

• Alemania es un modelo fascinante. Los alemanes han mantenido su ventaja manufacturera a pesar de ser una economía con un alto nivel impositivo y de regulación. ¿Por qué? Porque el Gobierno se aseguró de mantener la financiación de la formación técnica, los avances técnicos y los programas. Hizo un esfuerzo concertado para conservar la fabricación compleja de gama alta, el tipo de modelo BMW, por así decirlo. Y lo han hecho con tanto éxito que Alemania, que tiene una cuarta parte de la población de Estados Unidos, exporta más que Estados Unidos.

• I am firmly convinced, as I have already said, that to effect any great social improvement, it is sympathy rather than self-interest, the sense of duty rather than the desire for self-advancement, that must be appealed to. Envy is akin to admiration, and it is the admiration that the rich and powerful excite which secures the perpetuation of aristocracies.

• I will continue to work for the advancement of freedoms in Egypt and the Arab world until I drop dead... Education itself - which can and should play an important role in the apprenticeship of tolerance and respect for other people -sometimes encourages identitarian closure, or even extremist behaviour... It is therefore vital to ensure that education does not encourage rejection of other people or identitarian closure, but that on the contrary it encourages knowledge and respect for other cultures, other religions and other ways of being and living.

• To spread healthy ideas among even the lowest classes of people, to remove men from the influence of prejudice and passion, to make reason the arbiter and supreme guide of public opinion; that is the essential goal of the sciences; that is how science will contribute to the advancement of civilization, and that is what deserves protection of governments who want to insure the stability of their power.

• Deberíamos ir a los centros espirituales por el satsang. Al ir allí, las personas que están involucradas en el mundo pueden alcanzar la paz y la concentración. La concentración que se obtiene cuando uno va allí no puede lograrse si uno se sienta en casa. Aunque la brisa sople por todas partes, el frescor se sentirá más si nos sentamos a la sombra de un árbol. Del mismo modo, aunque Dios lo impregna todo, esta presencia brillará claramente en ciertos lugares más que en otros. Esa es la grandeza del satsang. El satsang es lo mejor para el avance espiritual.

• There needs to be bolder thinking, ... on how to measure the quality of life of men and women in the work force. Currently, success is measured by material advancements. We need to readjust the definition of success to account for time outside of work and satisfaction of life, not just the dollars-and-cents bottom line.

• La Cláusula de Libre Ejercicio, como mínimo, se diseñó para garantizar la libertad de conciencia prohibiendo cualquier grado de coacción en materia de creencias. Se ofendía por una carga sobre la propia religión. La Cláusula de Establecimiento puede entenderse como diseñada en parte para garantizar que el avance de la religión provenga únicamente de los esfuerzos voluntarios de sus defensores y no del apoyo del Estado. Los grupos religiosos deben prosperar o perecer por el mérito intrínseco y el atractivo de sus creencias y prácticas.

• This president Barack Obama has done more for the LGBT community than any president in history. It's just an objective fact. And his legacy is secure in terms of the advancement of the rights of the LGBT community, from 'Don't Ask', 'Don't Tell' to his support for overturning the Defense of Marriage Act, and of course marriage equality, work on HIV and AIDS, and other things.
