Destroyed Quotes - Page 2

• Here are white men poised to run big marijuana businesses, dreaming of cashing in big—big money, big businesses selling weed—after 40 years of impoverished black kids getting prison time for selling weed, and their families and futures destroyed. Now, white men are planning to get rich doing precisely the same thing?

• Quizá sea culpa mía. Quizá te hice creer que era fácil cuando no lo era. Quizá te hice creer que mis mejores momentos empezaban en la línea de tiros libres y no en el gimnasio. Tal vez te hice pensar que cada tiro que tomaba era un ganador del juego. Que mi juego se basaba en el destello y no en el fuego. Tal vez sea culpa mía que no vieras que el fracaso me daba fuerza; que mi dolor era mi motivación. Quizás te hice creer que el baloncesto era un regalo de Dios, y no algo por lo que trabajaba cada día de mi vida. Quizá destruí el juego. O tal vez sólo esté poniendo excusas.

• Even if the flag burning amendment does become law, the larger problem will remain of how to respectfully dispose of older, tattered flags. Well, fortunately the U.S. official Flag Code has a suggestion about this. "The flag, when it is in such a condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning." Owwwwcchh. In response, the House Republicans are calling for tattered flags to be kept alive via a feeding tube.

• Necesitamos que se conserven las zonas salvajes -todas las que aún quedan y de todos los tipos- porque fueron el reto contra el que se formó nuestro carácter como pueblo. Simplemente necesitamos disponer de esas zonas salvajes, aunque nunca hagamos más que conducir hasta su borde y mirar dentro. Porque puede ser un medio de reafirmarnos en nuestra cordura como criaturas, una parte de la geografía de la esperanza.

• Today, local economies are being destroyed by the 'pluralistic,' displaced, global economy, which has no respect for what works in a locality. The global economy is built on the principle that one place can be exploited, even destroyed, for the sake of another place.

• Between 1965 (the beginning of LBJ's "Great Society") and 1994, welfare spending has cost the taxpayers $5.4 trillion in constant 1993 dollars. The War on Poverty has cost us 70 % more than the total price tag for defeating both Germany and Japan in World War II, after adjusting for inflation. Many believe that Welfare has destroyed millions of families and cost a huge portion of our national wealth in the process.

• Nos encontramos en una situación en la que somos realmente ricos como mundo en general y, sin embargo, tenemos la capacidad de destruirnos a nosotros mismos, ya sea mediante armas nucleares o mediante la degradación medioambiental, y permitimos que se destruyan las oportunidades vitales de cientos de millones de personas porque no hemos encontrado la voluntad de afrontarlo

• Leadership has to be focused on some very radical ideas that only we as 21st Century people can talk about: making sure people have a livelihood, making sure people receive a living wage, making sure the environment, the Mother Earth, is embraced and cherished and not destroyed. Making sure people are healthy in what they eat, making sure we hold people and corporations accountable for the damage they do not only to our environment but to our institutions.

• The way you confront an organization like that is twofold. No. 1, you kill their militants. There is no room for discussion or negotiation when it comes to an ISIS or an Al Qaeda militant. They don’t want anything concrete. And if you want nothing that’s measurable or concrete, there is nothing to talk about. You must be destroyed.

• Se acerca el momento que probablemente determinará si los americanos serán libres o esclavos; si tendrán alguna propiedad que puedan llamar propia; si sus casas y granjas serán saqueadas y destruidas, y ellos mismos consignados a un estado de miseria del que ningún esfuerzo humano los librará. El destino de millones de nonatos dependerá ahora, bajo Dios, del valor y la conducta de este ejército. Nuestro cruel e implacable enemigo sólo nos deja la opción de una valiente resistencia o la más abyecta sumisión. Tenemos, pues, que resolver vencer o morir.

• La imagen de Dios en el hombre no fue destruida por la Caída, sino que sólo fue dañada y corrompida ("deformada"), y puede ser restaurada mediante la gracia de Dios. El alcance de la integración queda sugerido por el descensus ad inferos, el descenso del alma de Cristo a los infiernos, cuya obra de redención abarca incluso a los muertos. El equivalente psicológico es la integración del inconsciente colectivo, que forma parte esencial del proceso de individuación.

• By government giveaway programs, individuals are often hurt far more than they are helped. The recipients of these programs become dependent on the government and their dignity is destroyed. Is it compassionate to enslave more and more people by making them a part of the government dependency cycle? I think compassion should be measured by how many people no longer need it. Helping people to become self-sufficient is much more compassionate than drugging them with the narcotic of welfare.
