Freeman Quotes - Page 4

• Una constitución fundada en estos principios introduce el conocimiento entre el pueblo, y le inspira una dignidad consciente al convertirse en hombre libre; se produce una emulación general, que hace que el buen humor, la sociabilidad, los buenos modales y las buenas costumbres sean generales. La elevación de los sentimientos que inspira un gobierno así, hace que el pueblo llano sea valiente y emprendedor. La ambición que inspira los hace sobrios, laboriosos y frugales.

  John Adams

• I don't think you can pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere indefinitely and not have a reaction. But there are great scientists such as Freeman Dyson, one of the greatest physicists of the last hundred years, who has studied the question, who believes quite the opposite. The reason transnational action is so difficult is because the major problem with climate change is, A, that there is no consensus, and, B, that the economic cost is simply staggering. Reversing it completely might mean undoing the modern industrial economy.

• That makes me think, my friend, as I have often done before, how natural it is that those who have spent a long time in the study of philosophy appear ridiculous when they enter the courts of law as speakers. Those who have knocked about in courts and the like from their youth up seem to me, when compared with those who have been brought up in philosophy and similar pursuits, to be as slaves in breeding compared with freemen.

• I would advise persisting in our struggle for liberty, though it were revealed from Heaven that nine hundred and ninety-nine men were to perish, and only one of a thousand to survive and retain his liberty. One such freeman must possess more virtue, and enjoy more happiness, than a thousand slaves.

• 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.

• I rejoice in a belief that intellectual light will spring up in the dark corners of the earth; that freedom of enquiry will produce liberality of conduct; that mankind will reverse the absurd position that the many were, made for the few; and that they will not continue slaves in one part of the globe, when they can become freemen in another.

• Es en los Estados Unidos donde todos los hombres libres buscan la luz y la esperanza del mundo. A menos que nos dediquemos por completo a esta lucha, a menos que combatamos el hambre con alimentos, el miedo con confianza, la sospecha con fe, el fraude con justicia -y las amenazas con poder-, las naciones se rendirán a la futilidad, la desesperanza y el pánico de los que se alimentan las guerras.
