Plunge Quotes - Page 10

• Your wickedness makes you as it were heavy as lead, and to tend downwards with great weight and pressure towards hell; and if God should let you go, you would immediately sink and switfly
  descend and plunge into the bottomless gulf, and your healthy constitution, and your own care and prudence, and best contrivance, and all your righteousness, would have no more influence to
  uphold you and keep you out of hell, than a spider's web would have to stop a fallen rock.

  Jonathan Edwards

• The Long Emergency will be chiefly characterized as a "time out" from technology. It could plunge us into a dark age of superstition. My guess is that we will lose a lot of knowledge and skill. But I also believe the human race desperately needs this "time out."

• While Barack Obama was making his latest pitch for a brand new, even more unsustainable entitlement at the health care 'summit,' thousands of Greeks took to the streets to riot. An enterprising cable network might have shown the two scenes on a continuous split-screen - because they're part of the same story. It's just that Greece is a little further along in the plot: They're at the point where the canoe is about to plunge over the falls. America is further upstream and can still pull for shore, but has decided, instead, that what it needs to do is catch up with the Greek canoe.

• If you look at the careers of great entrepreneurs and you look at the moment they took their plunge, the plunge is rarely a great financial or material risk, it’s a social risk. At the moment they started their new businesses, everyone around them said ‘you’re an idiot’.

• What would you do if you were President, and, on the first day of May, the Russian Ambassador presented you with a beautiful cake which emitted a curious ticking noise? Would you plunge it into a pail of water - thus insulting Soviet cuisine in general?

• Happiness, I think, lies on the surface... when one plunges under the surface all the buoyant things disappear, and the farther down one gets the more cold and dark it seems: and the more oppressive space feels.

• Así es la vida de un expatriado. Despojado de romanticismo, quizá sea eso lo que significa ser expatriado: un sentimiento de no pertenencia total. [...] La dicotomía insider-outsider confiere a la vida un cierto grado de tensión. No una tensión punzante y negativa, sino más bien un tipo de tensión que no hay que perder de vista y que puede desplomarse o alcanzar su punto álgido con repentinos arrebatos de amor o ira. Aprender a reconocer e interpretar los comportamientos culturales es un paso vital para los expatriados en cualquier lugar, pero no significa que se lleguen a apreciar todas las diferencias.

• The laws of Nature, that is to say the laws of God, plainly made every human being a law unto himself, we must steadfastly refuse to obey those laws, and we must as steadfastly stand by the conventions which ignore them, since the statutes furnish us peace, fairly good government, and stability, and therefore are better for us than the laws of God, which would soon plunge us into confusion and disorder and anarchy if we should adopt them.

• Courage is perhaps our most admirable trait. The man, or woman, who possesses it is able to plunge ahead, despite dangers, despite warnings, despite hazards of all kinds, to attack the task at hand. Often, it is indistinguishable from stupidity.

• I think human beings have a basic instinct to be free and explore their world in their own way. I've always been driven to look at life as something which we should try to plunge into rather than sit back. You have to be able to have fun and keep creating a sense of excitement to how you approach the world.

• Era una turbia confusión -aquí y allá manchada de un color parecido al del humo del combustible húmedo- de nubes voladoras levantadas en montones de lo más notables, que sugerían mayores alturas en las nubes que profundidades por debajo de ellas hasta el fondo de los más hondos huecos de la tierra, por los que la luna salvaje parecía precipitarse de cabeza, como si, en una espantosa perturbación de las leyes de la naturaleza, hubiera perdido el rumbo y estuviera asustada.

• In the Heart's cavity, the sole Brahman as an ever-persisting 'I' shines direct in the form of the Self. Into the Heart enter thyself, with mind in search or in deeper plunge. Or by
  restraint of life-movement be firmly poised in the Self.

• If you meet a cross-eyed person
  you must plunge into the grass,
  alongside the chilly ants,
  fish through the green fingernails
  and come up with the four-leaf clover.

• For men to plunge headlong into an undertaking of vast change, they must be intensely discontented yet not destitute, and they must have the feeling that by the possession of some potent doctrine, infallible leader or some new technique they have access to a source of irresistible power.

• Yes, I took a remedial algebra course in college. I struggled in math in high school and didn’t have confidence to plunge in with a for-credit algebra course. The remedial course gave me a lot of confidence so that when I took the for-credit algebra course it was fairly easy and I got a ‘B,’ of which I remain proud today!

• La opinión pública no está realmente al corriente, y nuestros líderes no son claros y francos sobre cuáles son los términos del compromiso en este momento: que realmente no tenemos otra opción que emprender una movilización a escala de guerra, pero una movilización sabiendo que realmente podemos solucionar esto. Sólo será un desastre si seguimos metiéndonos de cabeza en el problema, que no hace más que acelerarse a pesar de todo lo que los demócratas han estado dispuestos a decir y hacer al respecto.

• Las grandes personas siempre serán objeto de burla por parte de quienes se sienten más pequeños que ellas. Sin embargo, un león no se inmuta ante la risa de una hiena. Un gorila no se inmuta ante un plátano que le lanza un mono. Un ruiseñor no deja de entonar su hermoso canto ante la intrusión de un molesto pájaro carpintero. Cuando dudes de tu autoestima, acuérdate de la flor de loto. Aunque surge a la vida desde debajo del barro, no permite que la suciedad que la rodea afecte a su crecimiento ni a su belleza.

• Todos los que dicen las mismas cosas no las poseen de la misma manera; y de ahí que el incomparable autor del Arte de conversar se detenga con tanto cuidado en hacer comprender que no debemos juzgar de la capacidad de un hombre por la excelencia de un comentario feliz que le hayamos oído hacer. Penetremos, dice, en la mente de la que procede. Lo más frecuente es que se le haga renegar de ella en el acto, y que se aleje mucho de este mejor pensamiento en el que no cree, para sumergirse en otro, bastante bajo y ridículo.
