Inadequate Quotes - Page 3

• I attended Catholic school. We received a great education from the nuns. ... Also, guilt. Guilt and a feeling of never being satisfied with what you've done. And a sense that you are inadequate and a big phony. All useful for a writer. I'm always being edited by my inner nun.

• God is one among several hypotheses to account for the phenomena of human destiny, and it is now proving to be an inadequate hypothesis. To a great many people, including myself, this realization is a great relief, both intellectually and morally.

• Always praise your kid even if he/she is unresponsive to learning. By insulting them and putting them down, you will only push them away and make them feel inadequate around other kids. Have faith that your child's brain is an evolving planet that rotates at its own speed. It will naturally be attracted to or repel certain subjects. Be patient. Just as there are ugly ducklings that turn into swans, there are rebellious kids that turn into serious innovators and hardcore intellectuals.

• Entonces, ¿a qué recurso debemos recurrir finalmente para mantener en la práctica la necesaria división del poder entre los diversos departamentos, tal como se establece en la Constitución? La única respuesta que puede darse es que, como todas estas disposiciones exteriores resultan inadecuadas, el defecto debe suplirse diseñando la estructura interior del gobierno de modo que sus diversas partes constituyentes puedan, por sus relaciones mutuas, ser el medio de mantenerse unas a otras en sus lugares apropiados.

• The children of baby boomers should take very seriously the consequences for them of the inadequate funding for them of the baby boomer generation. This is a huge economic problem for the nation, not just for individuals or individual families. Think about it for a minute - if retirees become 20% of our population and their purchasing power falls below what has been normal for retirees in the past, one important engine driving our economy will be diminished.
