• I gather, young man, that you wish to be a Member of Parliament. The first lesson that you must learn is, when I call for statistics about the rate of infant mortality, what I want is proof that fewer babies died when I was Prime Minister than when anyone else was Prime Minister. That is a political statistic.

• Ultimately, I would like to say yes, conditions have improved, but there is still vast room for more improvement; we are still the poorest of the poor. And we are still statistically considered to be extremely disrupted culturally, and have extreme health needs in many areas, as well as high suicide rates and infant mortality rates.

• This seems counterintuitive, but turns out that as infant mortality is reduced, population sizes also decrease, because parents don't need to anticipate that their babies are going to die.

• Once you educate the boys, they tend to leave the villages and go search for work in the cities, but the girls stay home, become leaders in the community, and pass on what they've learned. If you really want to change a culture, to empower women, improve basic hygiene and health care, and fight high rates of infant mortality, the answer is to educate girls.

• Social mobility decreased under Labour and under the current government it is reversing. The differences between the poorest and richest are returning to Victorian levels. We don't have open sewers and infant mortality rates at fifty percent but in economic terms we're getting to a level of disparity we haven't seen for a couple of hundred years. And we're getting there very quickly.

• En el embarazo natural, más de la mitad de los óvulos fecundados no llegan a implantarse o se pierden. ¿Deberíamos considerarlo un caso de mortalidad infantil? Y si es así, ¿por qué no organizamos ambiciosas campañas de salud pública para intentar salvar y rescatar todos los óvulos fecundados que se pierden en el embarazo natural? Necesitaríamos una campaña de salud pública de proporciones masivas si realmente hubiera una tasa de mortalidad infantil superior al cincuenta por ciento.

• What inspired me most was the resilience of the Cambodian people. The country is still living with the trauma of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime. People lost everything - family, friends. The rich culture of Cambodia was nearly extinguished. They are a nation of survivors. And while poverty and infant mortality affect a disproportionate amount of the people there, those I met were hopeful for the future and doing the best they can with
  what they had.

• La misma comparación es válida dentro de los propios Estados Unidos: Los estados del Sur y del Medio Oeste, caracterizados por los mayores niveles de literalismo religioso, están especialmente plagados de [altas tasas de homicidios, abortos, embarazos de adolescentes, enfermedades de transmisión sexual y mortalidad infantil], mientras que los estados comparativamente laicos del Noreste se ajustan a los estándares europeos.

• Noruega, Islandia, Australia, Canadá, Suecia, Suiza, Bélgica, Japón, Países Bajos, Dinamarca y Reino Unido figuran entre las sociedades menos religiosas del planeta. Según el Informe sobre Desarrollo Humano de las Naciones Unidas (2005), también son las más sanas, como indican la esperanza de vida, la alfabetización de adultos, la renta per cápita, el nivel educativo, la igualdad de género, la tasa de homicidios y la mortalidad infantil. . . . Por el contrario, las cincuenta naciones peor clasificadas en el índice de desarrollo humano de las Naciones Unidas son inquebrantablemente religiosas.

• In order to survive, an animal must be born into a favoring or at least tolerant environment. Similarly, in order to achieve preservation and recognition, a specimen of fossil man must be discovered in intelligence, attested by scientific knowledge, and interpreted by evolutionary experience. These rigorous prerequisites have undoubtedly caused many still-births in human palaeontology and are partly responsible for the high infant mortality of discoveries of geologically ancient man.

• Reports to the Surgeon General represent the final word upon the efficient and devoted sense of responsibility of our people in this obligation to our fellow citizens. Overwhelmingly they confirm the fact that the general mortality rate, infant mortality rate, epidemics, the disease rate - are less than in normal times. There is but one explanation. That is, that through an aroused sense of public responsibility, those in destitution and their children are receiving actually more adequate care than even in normal times.

• The average Mexican lives longer now than the average Briton did in 1955. Infant mortality is lower today in Nepal than it was in Italy in 1951. The proportion of Vietnamese living on less than $2 a day has dropped from 90 per cent to 30 per cent in twenty years. The rich have got richer, but the poor have done even better.

• Ningún sistema esclavista ha podido seguir funcionando con los esclavos que le proporcionaba su propia reproducción biológica, porque la tasa de reproducción humana es demasiado lenta y los gastos derivados de la mortalidad infantil y los años de mantenimiento improductivo de los jóvenes hacen que resulte prohibitivamente caro. Esta relación es una de las causas básicas de la Guerra Civil estadounidense, y fue aún más importante en la destrucción de la antigua Roma.
