• Oh, Dios eterno y sempiterno, dirige mis pensamientos, palabras y obras. Lava mis pecados en la sangre inmaculada del Cordero y purifica mi corazón con tu Espíritu Santo. Cada día, hazme más y más semejante a tu hijo Jesucristo, para que viviendo en tu temor y muriendo en tu favor, pueda en tu tiempo obtener la resurrección de los justificados a la vida eterna. Bendice, Señor, a toda la raza humana y haz que el mundo se llene del conocimiento de Ti y de tu Hijo Jesucristo.

• An ordinary favor we do for someone or any compassionate reaching out may seem to be going nowhere at first, but may be planting a seed we can't see right now. Sometimes we need to just do the best we can and then trust in an unfolding we can't design or ordain.

• [N]o scientist likes to be criticized. ... But you don't reply to critics: "Wait a minute, wait a minute; this is a really good idea. I'm very fond of it. It's done you no harm. Please don't attack it." That's not the way it goes. The hard but just rule is that if the ideas don't work, you must throw them away. Don't waste any neurons on what doesn't work. Devote those neurons to new ideas that better explain the data. Valid criticism is doing you a favor.

• "I believe that no characteristic is so distinctively human as the sense of indebtedness we feel, not necessarily for a favor received, but even for the slightest evidence of kindness; and there is nothing so boorish, savage, inhuman as to appear to be overwhelmed by a favor, let alone unworthy of it."

  Marco Tulio Cicerón

• Tachamos a los jueces de tener los motivos más mezquinos, y sin embargo deseamos que nuestra reputación y fama dependan del juicio de hombres, que son todos, ya sea por sus celos o preocupación o falta de inteligencia, opuestos a nosotros - y sin embargo, a pesar de su parcialidad, sólo por hacer que estos hombres decidan a nuestro favor, ponemos en peligro de muchas maneras tanto nuestra paz como nuestra vida.

• As I watch government at all levels daily eat away at our freedom, I keep thinking how prosperity and government largesse have combined to make most of us fat and lazy and indifferent to, or actually in favor of, the limits being placed on that freedom.

• This is the Day in which God's most excellent favors have been poured out upon men, the Day in which His most mighty grace hath been infused into all created things. It is incumbent upon all the peoples of the world to reconcile their differences, and, with perfect unity and peace, abide beneath the shadow of the Tree of His care and loving-kindness.

• Try stuff. I also used to believe that it's better to be smart than lucky because if you're smart you can out-think the competition. I don't believe that anymore-this is not to say that you should strive for a high level of stupidity. My point is that luck is a big part of many successes, so (a) don't get too bummed out when you see a bozo succeed; and (b) luck favors the people who try stuff, not simply think and analyze. As the Chinese say, "One must wait for a long time with your mouth open before a Peking duck flies in your mouth."

• Cuando veas que el comercio se hace, no por consentimiento, sino por coacción - cuando veas que para producir, necesitas obtener permiso de hombres que no producen nada - cuando veas que el dinero fluye hacia aquellos que comercian, no con bienes, sino con favores - cuando veas que los hombres se enriquecen más por chanchullos y por tirones que por el trabajo, y tus leyes no te protegen contra ellos, sino que los protegen contra ti - cuando veas que la corrupción es recompensada y la honestidad se convierte en un autosacrificio - puedes saber que tu sociedad está condenada.

• El "lobbying" es la actividad consistente en intentar influir en la legislación ejerciendo una influencia privada sobre los legisladores. Es el resultado y la creación de una economía mixta de gobierno por grupos de presión. Sus métodos van desde meras cortesías sociales y "amistades" de cóctel o almuerzo hasta favores, amenazas, sobornos, chantajes.

• I favor free trade in drugs for the same reason the Founding Fathers favored free trade in ideas: in a free society it is none of the government's business what ideas a man puts into his mind; likewise, it should be none of its business what drugs he puts into his body.

• He estado estudiando científicamente los rasgos y disposiciones de los "animales inferiores" (así llamados) y contrastándolos con los rasgos y disposiciones del hombre. El resultado me parece profundamente humillante. Porque me obliga a renunciar a mi lealtad a la teoría darwiniana de la Ascensión del Hombre a partir de los Animales Inferiores, ya que ahora me parece evidente que esa teoría debe ser abandonada en favor de una nueva y más verdadera, esta nueva y más verdadera debe ser llamada la Descendencia del Hombre a partir de los Animales Superiores.

• While the nature of Texas fever is by no means made clear as yet, we are able to affirm that ticks can produce it. Whether the disease can be transmitted by any other agency must be decided by future investigations. Meanwhile the evidence accumulated thus far seems to favor very strongly the dictum: No ticks, no Texas fever.

• La alternativa a la que me inclino es renunciar a todos los eufemismos y agarrar la ortiga de la propia palabra ateísmo, precisamente porque es una palabra tabú portadora de frissons de fobia histérica. Puede que la masa crítica sea más difícil de alcanzar que con algún eufemismo no conflictivo, pero si lo lográramos con la temible palabra ateo, el impacto político sería tanto mayor.

• New knowledge has led to the recognition in the theory of evolution of more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory.
