• A. T. Stewart empezó su vida con un dólar y cincuenta céntimos. Este príncipe comerciante empezó llamando a las puertas de las casas para vender agujas, hilo y botones. Pronto descubrió que la gente no los quería, y su pequeño stock se le echó encima. Entonces dijo sabiamente: "No compraré más de estas mercancías, pero iré a preguntar a la gente lo que sí quiere". A partir de entonces estudió las necesidades y deseos de la gente, averiguó qué era lo que más deseaban, se esforzó por satisfacerlos y se convirtió en el mayor hombre de negocios de su tiempo.

• También existe la posibilidad muy real de que, en la justicia de Dios, una de las razones por las que utiliza a los débiles y necios del mundo es para que no se pueda argumentar más tarde que ciertas personas fueron favorecidas de alguna manera injusta por lo que no se ganaron, ya sea en la vida premortal o aquí. Por lo tanto, parece prudente que nos demos cuenta de que el hecho de que una persona haya sido apartada u ordenada para una determinada vocación o tarea no significa que deba esperar ser apartada de las tensiones de la vida. No parece haber inmunidades.

  Neal A. Maxwell

• What does calling this medical care legislation "historic" mean? It means that previous administrations gave up the idea when it became clear that the voting public did not want government control of medical care. What is "historic" is that this will be the first administration to show that it doesn't care one bit what the public wants or doesn't want.

  And the wind in tree-top sighing,
  Chant his requiem.
