• The social dynamics of human history, even more than that of biological evolution, illustrate the fundamental principle of ecological evolution - that everything depends on everything else. The nine elements that we have described in societal evolution of the three families of phenotypes - the phyla of things, organizations and people, the genetic bases in knowledge operating through energy and materials to produce phenotypes, and the three bonding relations of threat, integration and exchange - all interact on each other.

• Astrology ... makes vague predictions that can always be adapted after the fact to fit observations, as we'll see. Astrologers don't seek causes at all, for a good reason: There isn't any cause to astrology. If you look for some underlying reason, some connection between the stars and planets and our lives, you won't find any. For astrology to sell, buyers must not seek out the fundamental principles behind it, because if they do they'll see that there is none.

• Science is an intellectual journey, and to me, it's not the destination, it's the journeyto get there. It's a way of thinking and it's an intellectual curiosity, a desire to know how the world works, and to know what the fundamental principles of the world are, and to know our place in it. I think once we stop asking questions like "what is the age of the universe," or "how are the instructions of DNA carried out on a microscopic level," once we stop asking questions like that, we're dead.

• ¿Qué . . . es este testimonio de Jesús, cómo puede ser adquirido, y qué hará por aquellos que lo reciben? El testimonio de Jesús es el conocimiento seguro y cierto, revelado al espíritu de una persona a través del Espíritu Santo, de que Jesús es el Hijo vivo del Dios vivo. Puesto que el testimonio de Jesús es dado por Dios, es preeminente y esencial para una vida feliz. Es el principio fundamental de nuestra religión, y todas las demás cosas que pertenecen a nuestra fe son apéndices de él.

• Las desviaciones temporales de los principios fundamentales son siempre más o menos peligrosas. Cuando el primer pretexto fracasa, quienes se interesan por prolongar el mal rara vez se quedarán sin otros pretextos.

• The mathematician is entirely free, within the limits of his imagination, to construct what worlds he pleases. What he is to imagine is a matter for his own caprice; he is not thereby discovering the fundamental principles of the universe nor becoming acquainted with the ideas of God.

• Through TV and moving pictures a child may see more violence in thirty minutes than the average adult experiences in a lifetime. What children see on the screen is violence as an almost casual commonplace of daily living. Violence becomes the fundamental principle of society, the natural law of humanity. Killing is as common as taking a walk, a gun more natural than an umbrella. Children learn to take pride in force and to feel ashamed of ordinary sympathy. They are encouraged to forget that people have feelings.

• Y aprovecho esta oportunidad para declarar que... Me opondré hasta el día de mi muerte, con todos los poderes y facultades que Dios me ha dado, a todos los instrumentos de esclavitud, por un lado, y de villanía, por el otro, como lo es esta orden de asistencia. Me parece el peor instrumento de poder arbitrario, el más destructivo de la libertad inglesa y de los principios fundamentales de la ley, que jamás se haya encontrado en un libro de leyes inglés.

• Es evidente que el principio fundamental del socialismo, la comunidad de bienes, debe ser rechazado de plano, ya que sólo perjudica a aquellos a quienes parece beneficiar, es directamente contrario a los derechos naturales de la humanidad e introduciría la confusión y el desorden en el bien común. El primer y más fundamental principio, por lo tanto, si uno se compromete a aliviar la condición de las masas, debe ser la inviolabilidad de la propiedad privada.

• Vivimos lo que los griegos llamaban el kairós -el momento oportuno- para una "metamorfosis de los dioses", de los principios y símbolos fundamentales. Esta peculiaridad de nuestro tiempo, que ciertamente no hemos elegido conscientemente, es la expresión del hombre inconsciente que llevamos dentro y que está cambiando.

• El principio fundamental [del trabajo de asentamiento] sigue siendo: que las personas se instalen en comunidades industriales, aportando lo que puedan tener de espíritu público y participando de la vida que les rodea; preservando su identidad como individuos y esforzándose por mantener el asentamiento libre de la forma institucional del trabajo filantrópico. ... la relación es recíproca.

• I find it expressed in various passages of Scripture that the fact that God knows things while in a state of possibility, when their existence belongs to the future, does not change the nature of the possible in any way; that nature remains unchanged; and the knowledge of the realisation of one of several possibilities does not yet effect that realisation. This is likewise one of the fundamental principles of the Law of Moses concerning which there is no doubt nor any dispute.
