• Only perhaps in the United States, which alone of countries can do without governing,every man being at least able to live, and move off into the wilderness, let Congress jargon as it will,can such a form of so-called Government continue for any length of time to torment men with the semblance, when the indispensable substance is not there.

• Grecia no conseguirá recuperarse sin reestructurar su deuda. No hay forma de evitarlo. Los acreedores del país tendrán que reducir una parte de sus deudas ampliando los plazos de vencimiento, bajando los tipos de interés o aplicándoles lo que en la jerga financiera se llama un "recorte".

• My people have very subtle slang, inflections and ways of saying things that has little to do with words. If you're from the same place, you'll feel the jargon and know exactly what's happening. Same with any neighborhood cat. What he sees and hears and feels and lives makes him what he is. That's what blues is.

• ... lo que está ocurriendo hoy en día con la imagen por ordenador, con la alteración, es que ya no necesita basarse en lo real en absoluto. No quiero entrar en jerga, pero digamos que para mí la fotografía ya no pertenece a la retórica del realismo, sino más bien a la retórica de lo irreal, más que a la de lo real o, por supuesto, a la de lo hiperreal.

• To conceal a want of real ideas, many make for themselves an imposing apparatus of long compound words, intricate flourishes and phrases, new and unheard-of expressions, all of which together furnish an extremely difficult jargon that sounds very learned. Yet with all this they say-precisely nothing.

• If an opinion can eventually go to the determination of a practical belief, it, in so far, becomes itself a practical belief; and every proposition that is not pure metaphysical jargon and chatter must have some possible bearing upon practice.

• Ectoplasmic plane? What the devil is that? (Simone) It’s jargon from those of us who are corporeally challenged. It’s the great beyond where we bounce into each other like floundering atoms. It’s really kind of gross – which is why I hang out with you. But only because you’re less gross than they are. (Jesse)

• There is a certain jargon, which, in French, I should call un Persiflage d'Affaires, that a foreign Minister ought to be perfectlymaster of, and may be used very advantageously at great entertainments, in mixed companies, and in all occasions where he must speak, and should say nothing. Well turned and well spoken, it seems to mean something, though in truth it means nothing. It is a kind of political badinage, which prevents or removes a thousand difficulties, to which a foreign Minister is exposed in mixed conversations.

  Lord Chesterfield

• La mayoría de la gente da por sentado que el lenguaje médico es una jerga técnica incomprensible. No tiene por qué ser así. Los médicos no hacen brujería. Simplemente interpretan lo que se les dice y lo que revelan las pruebas. Diagnostican y prescriben tratamientos. Nuestra responsabilidad es ayudar a los médicos a saber lo que pasa en nuestro cuerpo e insistir en que nos respondan con un lenguaje claro, preciso y comprensible.

• Un estudio en escarlata, ¿eh? ¿Por qué no usar un poco de jerga artística? Hay un hilo escarlata de asesinato que atraviesa la madeja incolora de la vida, y nuestro deber es desenredarlo, aislarlo y exponer cada centímetro de él.

• Literature is an aspect of story and story is all that exists to make sense of reality. War is a story. Now you begin to see how powerful story is because it informs our worldview and our every action, our every justification is a story. So how can story not be truly transformative? I've seen it happen in real ways, not in sentimental ways or in the jargon of New Age liberal ideology.

• Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. Never use the passive voice where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

• [El hombre está acostumbrado, desde que era niño, a tener una docena de filosofías incompatibles danzando juntas dentro de su cabeza. No piensa en las doctrinas como "verdaderas" o "falsas", sino como "académicas" o "prácticas", "anticuadas" o "contemporáneas", "convencionales" o "despiadadas". La jerga, no los argumentos, es tu mejor aliado para alejarlo de la Iglesia. No pierdas el tiempo intentando hacerle creer que el materialismo es cierto. Hazle creer que es fuerte, descarnado o valiente, que es la filosofía del futuro. Ese es el tipo de cosas que le importan.

• If we maintain the open-mindedness of children, we challenge fixed ideas and established structures, including our own. We listen to people in other denominations and religions. We don't find demons in those with whom we disagree. We don't cozy up to people who mouth our jargon. If we are open, we rarely resort to either-or: either creation or evolution, liberty or law, sacred or secular, Beethoven or Madonna. We focus on both-and, fully aware that God's truth cannot be imprisoned in a small definition.

• English, as a subject, never really got over its upstart nature. It tries to bulk itself up with hopeless jargon and specious complexity, tries to imitate subjects it can never be.

• I suggest to young professors that their first work should be written in a jargon only to be understood by the erudite few. With that behind them, they can ever after say what they have to say in a language 'understand of the people.'

• My experience with forgiveness is that it sort of comes spontaneously at a certain point and to try to force it it's not really forgiveness. It's Buddhist philosophy or something spiritual jargon that you're trying to live up to but you're just using it against yourself as a reason why you're not okay.

• Para mí, el Evangelio no es una gran masa de jerga teológica. Es algo sencillo, bello y lógico, con una verdad tranquila que sigue a otra en una secuencia ordenada. No me preocupo por los misterios. No me preocupa si las puertas celestiales se abren o se cierran. Sólo me preocupa que se abran.
