Fourth Quotes - Page 5

• Además de la autoconciencia, la imaginación y la conciencia, es la cuarta dote humana -la voluntad independiente- la que realmente hace posible una autogestión eficaz. Es la capacidad de tomar decisiones y hacer elecciones y de actuar de acuerdo con ellas. Es la capacidad de actuar en lugar de que actúen sobre nosotros, de llevar a cabo de forma proactiva el programa que hemos desarrollado a través de las otras tres dotes. El empoderamiento proviene de aprender a utilizar esta gran dote en las decisiones que tomamos cada día.

• Los aspectos comerciales del 4 th Of July no son perfectos tal como están. Vean lo que nos cuesta cada año con la pérdida de vidas, la paralización de miles de personas con sus fuegos artificiales y el incendio de propiedades. No sólo es sagrado para el patriotismo y la libertad universal, sino también para el cirujano, el enterrador, las oficinas de seguros... y lo están explotando al máximo.

• We called the new [fourth] quark the "charmed quark" because we were pleased, and fascinated by the symmetry it brought to the subnuclear world. "Charm" also means a "a magical device to avert evil," and in 1970 it was realized that the old three quark theory ran into very serious problems. ... As if by magic the existence of the charmed quark would [solve those problems].

• Mi aproximación al juego ha sido la misma en todos los sitios en los que he estado. La vainilla. El camino seguro. Eso significa, en primer lugar, ganar físicamente.

• Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac's talents didn't extend to investing: He lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, 'I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.' If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases.

• Por supuesto, el Sr. Hannity se indignó de que cualquier estadounidense no cruzara la mano sobre el corazón y repitiera las hipócritas palabras, una nación. Cada vez que llegamos al Cuatro de Mientes, pienso en Frederick Douglas y su magistral oratoria, El significado del Cuatro de Julio para el negro. ¿Prometer la bandera? Creo que no.

• I've always said that the 1986 [Immigration Reform and Control] Act had a fourth leg [in addition to law enforcement, increased immigration and amnesty] to its stool which was wishful thinking. And that pattern of a four-legged stool was copied in the failed attempts to enact a second and bigger general amnesty for illegal aliens in 2006, 2007, and in the current year 2013.

• This act is as horrible as killing a cancer cell. It must be done for the sake of the future of the whole. So be it: be prepared for the selection process which is now beginning. We, the elders, have been patiently waiting until the very last moment before the quantum transformation, to take action to cut out this corrupted and corrupting element in the body of humanity. It is like watching a cancer grow; something must be done before the whole body is destroyed... The destructive one fourth must be eliminated from the social body.

• A thousand years ago the Chinese had an entirely codified kitchen while the French were still gnawing on bones. Chopsticks have been around since the fourth century B.C. Forks didn't show up in England until 1611, and even then they weren't meant for eating but just to hold the meat still while you hacked at it with your knife.

• We Poor Cousins don’t care at all though, except for when we’re on welfare, broke, starving, unable to buy cool high-tops for our children or pay for their university tuition or purchase massive fourth homes on private islands with helicopter landing pads. But whatever, we descendants of the Girl Line may not have wealth and proper windows in our drafty homes but at least we have rage and we will build empires with that, gentlemen.
