Conformity Quotes - Page 10

• Una vez que la belleza física desaparece, tiene que haber algo más que ocupe su lugar... Ser fiel a uno mismo" es una regla de vida, sobre todo en Hollywood. Hay un fuerte trasfondo de conformidad en la colonia cinematográfica contra el que hay que luchar todo el tiempo. Creo que esto es especialmente cierto cuando se trata de moda, belleza y arreglo personal.

• ...la mayoría de los hombres se han atado los ojos con uno u otro pañuelo, y se han adherido a alguna de estas comunidades de opinión. Esta conformidad no los hace falsos en unos pocos detalles, autores de unas pocas mentiras, sino falsos en todos los detalles. Todas sus verdades no son del todo verdaderas. Su dos no es el verdadero dos, su cuatro no es el verdadero cuatro; de modo que cada palabra que dicen nos escandaliza, y no sabemos por dónde empezar para enderezarlos.

• His Majesty knows best what is suitable for us. There's no need for us to be advising Him about what He should give us, for He can rightly tell us that we don't know what we're asking for (cf. Mt. 20:22). The whole aim of any person who is beginning prayer ? and don't forget this, because it's very important ? should be that he work and prepare himself with determination and every possible effort to bring his will into conformity with God's will.

  Teresa de Ávila

• Total surrender to the will of God actually is sacrificing oneself as a burnt offering to God. The proof of this state is dying to oneself, - to one's own opinions, wishes and feelings or tastes, in order to live by Divine intellect, in conformity with the Divine will and in partaking of God. In the forefront of this endeavor is our Lord and Savior. He surrendered the whole of Himself to God the Father, and us in Himself, 'For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones' (Eph. 5:30). So let us hasten in His footsteps?

• When we become incorruptible and immortal, and attain to the blessed state of conformity with Christ, we will be ever with the Lord (as Scripture says), gaining fulfillment in the purest contemplations of His visible theophany which will illuminate us with its most brilliant rays, just as it illuminated the disciples at the time of the most divine Transfiguration.

• Americanization means the process of becoming an American. It means civic incorporation, becoming a part of the polity - becoming one of us. But that does not mean conformity. We are more than a melting pot, we are a kaleidoscope, where every turn of history refracts new light on the old promise.

  Barbara Jordan

• Las muertes, los nacimientos y los matrimonios, teniendo en cuenta lo mucho que dependen por separado de la libertad de la voluntad humana, deberían parecer no estar sujetos a ninguna ley según la cual se pudiera calcular de antemano su cantidad; y, sin embargo, los registros anuales de estos acontecimientos en los grandes países demuestran que se desarrollan con tanta conformidad con las leyes de la naturaleza como las oscilaciones del tiempo.

• Cocinemos a fuego lento nuestro caldero incalculable, nuestra confusión cautivadora, nuestro batiburrillo de impulsos, nuestro milagro perpetuo, pues el alma arroja maravillas a cada segundo. El movimiento y el cambio son la esencia de nuestro ser; la rigidez es la muerte; el conformismo es la muerte; digamos lo que nos venga a la cabeza, repitámonos, contradigámonos, lancemos los disparates más salvajes y sigamos las fantasías más fantásticas sin importarnos lo que el mundo haga o piense o diga. Porque nada importa excepto la vida.

• One must recently have lived on or close to a college campus to have a vivid intimation of what has happened. It is there that we see how a number of energetic social innovators, plugging their grand designs, succeeded over the years in capturing the liberal intellectual imagination. And since ideas rule the world, the ideologues, having won over the intellectual class, simply walked in and started to run things. Run just about everything. There never was an age of conformity quite like this one, or a camaraderie quite like the Liberals'.

  William F. Buckley, Jr.

• To require conformity in the appreciation of sentiments or the interpretation of language, or uniformity of thought, feeling, or action, is a fundamental error in human legislation -- a madness which would be only equaled by requiring all men to possess the same countenance, the same voice or the same stature.

• We all admire the courageous person and quite often consider the individual who lacks courage, a coward. However, that is not how Earl Nightingale saw it. He said the opposite of courage was not cowardness, it was conformity. The next time you are encouraged to fall into line, to be a sport and everything in you says no - be courageous and go your own way. There is no compensation in conformity.

• Conformities are called for much more eagerly today than yesterday... skeptics, liberals, individuals with a taste for private life and their own inner standards of behavior, are objects of fear and derision and targets of persecution for either side... in the great ideological wars of our time.
