• La salud es una gran bendición, la competencia obtenida por la industria honorable es una gran bendición, y una gran bendición es tener amigos y parientes amables, fieles y cariñosos; pero, que la mayor de todas las bendiciones, como es el más ennoblecedor de todos los privilegios, es ser verdaderamente cristiano.

• El éxito de este Gobierno, y por tanto el éxito de nuestra nación, depende en última instancia de la calidad de nuestros servicios de carrera. La legislación promulgada por el Congreso, así como las decisiones tomadas por mí y por los jefes de los departamentos y agencias, deben ser aplicadas por los hombres y mujeres de carrera del servicio federal. En asuntos exteriores, defensa nacional, ciencia y tecnología y otros muchos campos, se enfrentan a problemas de una importancia y perplejidad sin precedentes. Todos dependemos de su sentido de la lealtad y la responsabilidad, así como de su competencia y energía.

  John F. Kennedy

• Most important, [research on affirmative action] has completely failed to show that affirmative action ever closes the academic gap between minorities and whites. And failing in this, affirmative action also fails to help blacks achieve true equality with whites - the ultimate measure of which is parity in skills and individual competence. Without this underlying parity there can never be true equality in employment, income levels, rates of home ownership, educational achievement and the rest.

• The individual attributes of warmth and competence are often perceived to be negatively correlated. That doesn't mean they actually are, but that's how people perceive the world. So, cruel people, those who gave negative book reviews, for instance, were seen as less likeable but as more intelligent.

• It's not enough to have values without vision ; you want to be good, but you want to be good for something. On the other hand, vision without values can create a Hitler . An empowering mission statement deals with both character and competence; what you want to be and what you want to do in your life.

• La mayoría de los hombres no sienten en sí mismos la competencia necesaria para conducir a su grupo a la victoria, y por ello buscan un capitán que parezca poseer el valor y la sagacidad necesarios para alcanzar la supremacía. Incluso en la religión aparece este impulso. Nietzsche acusó al cristianismo de inculcar una moral esclavista, pero el triunfo final era siempre el objetivo. "Bienaventurados los mansos, porque ellos heredarán la tierra.

• If the biblical story is true, the kind of certainty proper to a human begin will be one which rests on the fidelity of God, not upon the competence of the human knower.  It will be a kind of certainty which is inseparable from gratitude and trust

• La suerte se acuesta en la cama y desea que el cartero le traiga noticias de un legado; el trabajo sale a las seis y, con la pluma ocupada o el martillo sonando, sienta las bases de una competencia.

• Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on.

• El crecimiento de Nueva Inglaterra fue el resultado de los esfuerzos agregados de una multitud ocupada, cada uno en su estrecho círculo trabajando para sí mismo, para reunir competencia o riqueza. La expansión de Nueva Francia fue el logro de una gigantesca ambición que se esforzaba por abarcar un continente. Fue un intento vano.

• The so-called scientific basis of the climate problem is within my professional competence as a meteorologist. It is my professional opinion that there is no evidence at all for catastrophic global warming. It is likely that global temperatures will rise a little, much as IPCC predicts, but there is a growing body of evidence that the errant behavior of the Sun may cause some cooling in the foreseeable future.

• With a profound first-hand knowledge of participants, encompassing linguistic competence, and engaging prose, Padraic Kenney recreates the simultaneously serious and playful currents of East Europe's overthrow of repressive state socialism. What an invaluable guide to the elusive exhilaration that motivated the actors and captivated all of us who followed the transformation with such hope! We can appreciate neither the ebullience of 1989 nor the disappointment with the quotidian reality that followed without understanding Kenney's 'carnival.'

• One does not avoid incompetence if one makes an attempt whose likelihood of success is too low. This seems little more than analytic: when the performance is in a domain that imposes standards of risk, attempts may or may not meet such standards. And the relevant competence of agents then includes reliably enough meeting those standards.

• Suppose we wonder whether we should trust the deliverances of our basic epistemic competences. If those are indeed our basic competences, then in order properly to satisfy our curiosity we will inevitably rely on one or more of them. So, either we squelch our curiosity or we will have to fall into the circularity or regress to which the skeptic objects.
