Founding Quotes - Page 9

• Are you a Loyalist or a Patriot? Why, because being a God-fearing, self-reliant, freedom-loving American is a choice. Or we could be one of those government-dependent, Constitution-fearing socialists. That's the question, actually, the Founding Fathers asked. Are you a Loyalist or a Patriot?

• Isn't it somewhat remarkable that we can go back a a few hundred years and find no shortage of quotations from our founding fathers warning us against the dangers of democracy, yet today teachers and politicians use the word as if it were an offering of gold.

• En realidad, la empresa se fundó para crear oportunidades de ingresos para las mujeres, incluso antes de dedicarse al cuidado de la piel, las barras de labios y las fragancias. El principio fundacional de Avon, antes de que las mujeres pudieran votar y cuando básicamente sólo trabajaban los hombres, era permitir a las mujeres salir de sus casas y crearles una oportunidad empresarial.

• La búsqueda de la ciencia, el estudio de las grandes obras, el valor de la libre investigación, en resumen, la idea misma de vivir la vida de la mente - sí, estos principios formativos y permanentes de la educación superior en América tuvieron su primer y más firme defensor, y su mayor encarnación, en un hombre alto, rubio y amable que vio esta universidad tomar forma desde la ladera de la montaña donde vivía, la universidad cuya fundación él llamó un logro supremo a lo largo de una vida bien empleada.

• Without armed struggle neither the proletariat, nor the people, nor the Communist Party would have any standing at all in China and it would be impossible for the revolution to triumph. In these years [the eighteen years since the founding of the Party] the development, consolidation and bolshevization of our Party have proceeded in the midst of revolutionary wars; without armed struggle the Communist Party would assuredly not be what it is today. Comrades throughout the Party must never forget this experience for which we have paid in blood.

• El modo de fundar una universidad es, comúnmente, conseguir una suscripción de dólares y centavos, y luego, siguiendo ciegamente los principios de una división del trabajo hasta su extremo, -un principio que nunca debe seguirse sino con circunspección-, llamar a un contratista que hace de esto un tema de especulación,... y por estos descuidos las generaciones sucesivas tienen que pagar.

• Schumpter's daring and dashing entrepreneur is now a legendary figure from the distant past - if not from the mythology of capitalism - or is to be found only in the demimonde of business, founding new ice cream parlors or "deep freeze subscription clubs".

• Our Founding Fathers were the first to articulate the reasons for their First Amendment, the same reasons given by Learned Hand, and by Justice Brennan in New York Times v. Sullivan . It is a lesson we keep forgetting and must relearn in each succeeding generation.

• The Declaration of Independence is the all-time masterpiece of ideological simplification. There in a single sentence of self-evident truth, the founding Fathers put into clear, easily understandable focus, the broad basis of man's relationship to God, to government, and to his fellow man.

• La democracia es algo que Estados Unidos nunca ha practicado realmente. Porque los Padres Fundadores odiaban dos cosas: la monarquía y la democracia. Querían una república, una réplica de las repúblicas romana o veneciana. Ni siquiera les gustaba la etimología de la palabra "democracia".

• It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail towards freedom through the darkest of nights. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can.

• Ya os he insinuado el peligro de los partidos en el estado, con especial referencia a la fundación de los mismos sobre discriminaciones geográficas. Permítanme ahora adoptar un punto de vista más amplio, y advertirles de la manera más solemne contra los efectos nefastos del espíritu de partido, en general.

• Our example - and commitment - to freedom has changed the world. But along with the genius of our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution, and our Bill of Rights, is the equal genius of our economic system. Our Founding Fathers endeavored to create a moral and just society like no other in history, and out of that grew a moral and just economic system the likes of which the world had never seen. Our freedom, what it means to be an American, has been defined and sustained by the liberating power of the free enterprise system.

• You live in a society that is shaped in every possible way by the Bible. The language you use, the laws you obey (and disobey), the founding principles of your nation, the disputes about abortion, homosexuality, adultery - these and so much else in your world are rooted in the Bible. You don't have to read it for its truth value. You should read it to understand how your world got the way it is, the way you would read the constitution or Shakespeare.

• Have you seen the Olympic uniforms? It's for the American Olympic team and it's berets. To me, nothing says America like a guy in a beret. Look at our founding fathers, they all wore berets.

• There are two visions of America. One precedes our founding fathers and finds its roots in the harshness of our Puritan past. It is very suspicious of freedom, uncomfortable with diversity hostile to science, unfriendly to reason, contemptuous of personal autonomy. It sees America as a religious nation. It views patriotism as allegiance to God. It secretly adores coercion and conformity. Despite our constitution, despite the legacy of the Enlightenment, it appeals to millions of Americans and threatens our freedom.

• La libertad religiosa, tal y como la veían los Padres Fundadores, no era sólo el derecho a asociarse a una determinada confesión, sino el derecho a desvincularse sin penalización. Creer o no creer era una cuestión de elección individual, un derecho consagrado en la carta básica de las libertades de la nación.

• It may seem strange, but Congress has never developed a set of goals for guiding Federal Reserve policy. In founding the System, Congress spoke about the country's need for "an elastic currency." Since then, Congress has passed the Full Employment Act, declaring its general intention to promote "maximum employment, production, and purchasing power." But it has never directly counseled the Federal Reserve.
