• ¿Un salario anual garantizado acabará con el incentivo entre los pobres? Si a un hombre se le da cierta seguridad, ¿no dejará de trabajar? Exactamente lo mismo podría decirse de los hijos de los ricos que se quedan con grandes fortunas. Sin embargo, la evidencia sugiere que, dada la libertad económica, la gente generalmente elegirá hacer lo que más le interese. Depende de la sociedad que esos intereses se amplíen y eso también requiere inversión.

• Eating is an agricultural act. Eating ends the annual drama of the food economy that begins with planting and birth. Most eaters, however, are no longer aware that this is true. They think of food as an agricultural product, perhaps, but they do not think of themselves as participants in agriculture. They think of themselves as 'consumers.'

• I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head - big darkness, soon come - but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.

• El verano es el permiso anual para ser perezoso. Para no hacer nada y que sirva para algo. Para tumbarse en la hierba y contar las estrellas. Para sentarse en una rama y estudiar las nubes.

• A convention is a social pattern we have chosen to prefer over whatever the raw world simply proffers. It is a sign of the operation of the mind, drawing the assent of a sufficient number of other minds so that the agreement will be widely operative. A convention is not a custom; a custom is a habit in which a sufficient number acquiesce. A custom can appear as a convention, but it is really a lesser act, the result of passive acceptance rather than of the imposition of design. It is the difference between learning to live by the annual flooding of the river or by a calendar.

• The annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation will offer individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation, as well as his pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live.

• Nothing highlights better the continuing gap between rhetoric and substance in British financial services than the failure of providers here to emulate Jack Bogle's index fund success in the United States. Every professional in the City knows that index funds should be core building blocks in any long-term investor's portfolio. Since 1976, the Vanguard index funds has produced a compound annual return of 12 percent, better than three-quarters of its peer group.

• A minuscule 4 percent of funds produce market-beating after-tax results with a scant 0.6 percent (annual) margin of gain. The 96 percent of funds that fail to meet or beat the Vanguard 500 Index Fund lose by a wealth-destroying margin of 4.8 percent per annum.

• One of the most ridiculous defenses of foreign aid is that it is a very small part of our national income. If the average American set fire to a five-dollar bill, it would be an even smaller percentage of his annual income. But everyone would consider him foolish for doing it.

• Failing to curb the impact of climate change could damage the global economy on the scale of the Great Depression or the world wars by spawning environmental devastation that could cost 5 to 20 percent of the world's annual gross domestic product.

• The motion of the stars calculated by the Hindus before some 4500 years vary not even a single minute from the tables of Cassine and Meyer (used in the 19-th century). The Indian tables give the same annual variation of the moon as the discovered by Tycho Brahe - a variation unknown to the school of Alexandria and also to the Arabs who followed the calculations of the school ... The Hindu systems of astronomy are by far the oldest and that from which the Egyptians, Greek, Romans and - even the Jews derived from the Hindus their knowledge.

• Why is it that Serge Lange's Linear Algebra, published by no less a Verlag than Springer, ostentatiously displays the sale of a few thousand copies over a period of fifteen years, while the same title by Seymour Lipschutz in the The Schaum's Outlines will be considered a failure unless it brings in a steady annual income from the sale of a few hundred thousand copies in twenty-six languages?

• At the mention of the name and offence of this degraded being a great sound went up from the entire multitude - a universal cry of execration, not greatly dissimilar from that which may be frequently heard in the crowded Temple of Impartiality when the one whose duty it is to take up, at a venture, the folded papers, announces that the sublime Emperor, or some mandarin of exalted rank, has been so fortunate as to hold the winning number in the Annual State Lottery.

• Another myth we fed to the public through the media was that legalizing abortion would only mean that the abortions taking place i1legally would then be done legally. In fact, of course, abortion is now being used as a primary method of birth control in the U.S. and the annual number of abortions has increased by 1,500 percent since legalization.

• Que las empresas se asocien con las artes es un buen negocio para ambas. La arquitectura que alberga una empresa es una declaración más visible que la del presidente en el informe anual. Lo mismo ocurre con los interiores, sobre todo de las oficinas y, a veces, de forma dramática, en las fábricas. Para las empresas solventes, el apoyo a las iniciativas culturales de la comunidad en música, teatro, danza crea una gran buena voluntad. Además, la existencia de este tipo de actividades suele ser importante para los ejecutivos y sus familias que las empresas quieren conservar o atraer.

• There is no better way to return the matter of taxation to full public discusssion than to repeal the withholding taxes on wages and salaries. Only when the American people are confronted with the enormous excesses of government in a personal and direct way - by an annual bill for services rendered - will they be able to make an informed judgment about which services they want and which ones they can do without.

• De ahí que no me avergüence afirmar que toda esta región ceñida por la luna, y el centro de la tierra, atraviesan este gran círculo en medio del resto de los planetas en una revolución anual alrededor del sol. Cerca del sol está el centro del universo. Además, como el sol permanece inmóvil, lo que parece un movimiento del sol se debe en realidad más bien al movimiento de la tierra.

• During the 1960s, and again in the 1970s, growth in manufacturing productivity in the United Kingdom was the lowest of all the seven major industrial countries in the world. During the 1980s, our annual rate of growth of output per head in manufacturing has been the highest of all the seven major industrial countries.

• After careful consideration, we have decided that for our next fiscal year, we'll issue guidance on comparable store used unit sales and on earnings per share only for the full fiscal year. We will no longer issue quarterly guidance. This decision reflects our continuing focus on longer-term store, sales, and earnings growth and on return on invested capital, and our recognition that the performance in shorter-term periods can be more volatile than over the longer term. As we report our quarterly results, we plan to comment on how our performance is tracking against our annual guidance.

• In his annual economic report to Congress President Bush said that the transfer of American jobs overseas is actually part of a positive transformation that will enrich the U.S. economy over time. So basically, losing your job to someone else can be a good thing. Of course we'll see how he feels about that in November.

• Cuando se trata de mi propio maquillaje, me gusta tener un aspecto fresco, limpio y descansado, nada demasiado alocado. Mi madre me introdujo en el mundo de la belleza. Está obsesionada con todas las listas de "lo mejor" de las revistas, como Allure, Glamour e InStyle. Su armario de belleza parece una de esas listas anuales. Ella me introdujo en la búsqueda de productos básicos y, por mucho que me guste ir a Neiman Marcus a probar, cuando encuentro algo que me gusta, me quedo con ello durante años.
