• I welcome opposing viewpoints, but I should warn you that you'll be facing off against the 2nd-place finisher at the 1981 Charleston County High-School Debate Tournament. And whatever became of that county champ who argued in favor of tractor safety modifications? Last time I checked, she didn't have her own show.

• Hasta que uno no se compromete, hay vacilación, posibilidad de echarse atrás, siempre ineficacia. En todos los actos de iniciativa y de creación, hay una verdad elemental cuya ignorancia mata innumerables ideas y planes espléndidos: que en el momento en que uno se compromete definitivamente, entonces la providencia también se mueve. Todo tipo de cosas ocurren para ayudar a uno que de otro modo nunca habrían ocurrido. Todo un torrente de acontecimientos se desprende de la decisión, suscitando en favor de uno todo tipo de incidentes imprevistos, encuentros y ayudas materiales que ningún hombre habría podido soñar que le llegarían.

• This morning, prompted by increasing concerns about terrorism, oil prices reached a record high as the cost of a barrel of crude is a whopping $44.34. Wow, it seems shocking that a product of finite supply gets more expensive the more we use it. Now the terror alert means higher oil prices, which oddly enough means higher profits for oil companies giving them more money to give to politicians whose policies may favor the oil companies such as raising the terror alert level. As Simba once told us: "It's the circle of life."

• To me... it appears that there have been differences of opinion and party differences, from the first establishment of government to the present day, and on the same question which now divides our own country; that these will continue through all future time; that every one takes his side in favor of the many, or of the few, according to his constitution, and the circumstances in which he is placed.

• En contra de la guerra podría decirse que vuelve estúpido al vencedor y malicioso al vencido. A su favor, que al producir estos dos efectos barbariza, y así hace más naturales a los combatientes. Para la cultura es un sueño o un invierno, y el hombre sale de él más fuerte para bien y para mal.

• Me temo que sería una burla a la justicia que no se impusiera la pena de muerte. Y, por lo tanto, alegué que existen circunstancias agravantes máximas, que suplantan a las circunstancias atenuantes. Y no hay ni una sola circunstancia atenuante que hable a favor de los acusados, y por lo tanto todos los acusados merecen (la) pena de muerte.

• Government, on their part, are much disposed to favor the establishment of these large companies, and to give them privileges to the detriment of their rivals, and of the public, with the expectation of receiving from them loans, either gratuitous or at a low rate which these never refuse. It is thus that the one sells its protection and the other buys it; and this is already a very great evil.

• Parece que sólo hay tres maneras de que una nación adquiera riqueza. La primera es mediante la guerra, como hicieron los romanos, saqueando a sus vecinos conquistados. Esto es robo. La segunda por el comercio, que generalmente es engaño. La tercera por la agricultura, la única manera honesta, en la que el hombre recibe un aumento real de la semilla arrojada a la tierra, en una especie de milagro continuo, obrado por la mano de Dios a su favor, como recompensa por su vida inocente y su virtuosa industria.

• Estoy a favor de la política de ahorro, no porque desee ahorrar dinero, sino porque deseo salvar a las personas. Los hombres y mujeres de este país que trabajan son los que soportan el coste del Gobierno. Cada dólar que malgastamos significa que su vida será mucho más pobre. Cada dólar que ahorramos significa que su vida será mucho más abundante. La economía es el idealismo en su forma más práctica.
