• Anger is one of the most common and destructive delusions, and it afflicts our mind almost every day. To solve the problem of anger, we first need to recognize the anger within our mind, acknowledge how it harms both ourself and others, and appreciate the benefits of being patient in the face of difficulties.

• If Britain becomes a member of the Community, it will be healthier for Britain, advantageous for Europe, and a gain for the whole world. I do not know of many economic or political problems in the world which will be easier to solve if Britain is outside rather than inside the Community.

• Everyone wants charities to spend as little as possible on overhead. That's backwards. Overhead is what drives growth. If charities can't grow, they can't solve problems. So overhead is a good thing. And I'm overhead.

• ... the woman who grows up with the idea that she is simply to be an amiable animal, to be caressed and coaxed, is invariably a bitterly disappointed woman. A game of chess will cure such a conceit forever. The woman that knows the most, thinks the most, feels the most, is the most. Intellectual affection is the only lasting love. Love that has a game of chess in it can checkmate any man and solve the problem of life.

• La democracia, tomada en su sentido más estricto, puramente político, adolece del hecho de que quienes detentan el poder económico y político poseen los medios para moldear la opinión pública al servicio de sus propios intereses de clase. La forma democrática de gobierno en sí misma no resuelve automáticamente los problemas; ofrece, sin embargo, un marco útil para su solución. Todo depende, en última instancia, de las cualidades políticas y morales de la ciudadanía.

• De niño era bajito y sólo pesaba 95 libras. Y aunque participaba en muchos deportes y me llevaba bien con la mayoría de los chicos, creo que utilizaba la comedia como mecanismo de defensa. Hacer reír a alguien es una forma mucho mejor de resolver un problema que usar los puños.

• Recuerda que en 1973 la misma cháchara científica decía que se iba a producir la próxima Edad de Hielo, que íbamos a perder millones de personas. Y los políticos sabían cómo resolverlo, sólo que no tenían el coraje de resolverlo; iban a poner polvo de carbón en el Ártico.

• What the nation's built on is discussion, contradiction and growth, and at the moment you can't discuss anything. If you do start to discuss it, you get criticized. If people hate us, you have to find out why and try to solve that problem.

• To the average man, life presents itself, not as material malleable to his hand, but as a series of problems...which he has to solve...And he is distressed to find that the more means he can dispose of-such as machine-power, rapid transport, and general civilized amenities, the more his problems grow in hardness and complexity....Perhaps the first thing he can learn form the artists is that the only way of 'mastering' one's material is to abandon the whole conception of mastery and to co-operate with it in love: whosoever will be a lord of life, let him be its servant.

• They asked if our own nation wasn't using massive doses of violence to solve its problems, to bring about the changes it wanted. Their questions hit home, and I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the ghettos without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today-my own government. For the sake of those boys, for the sake of this government, for the sake of hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent.

• It doesn't promise to solve or erase suffering but to transform it, pledging that by loving one another, even through pain, we will find more life. And it insists that by opening ourselves to strangers, the despised or frightening or unintelligible other, we will see more and more of the holy, since, without exception, all people are one body: God's.

• ... it can often be profitable to try a technique on a problem even if you know in advance that it cannot possibly solve the problem completely.

• Sin embargo, el hombre que se esfuerza por resolver un problema definido por los conocimientos y la técnica existentes no se limita a mirar a su alrededor. Sabe lo que quiere conseguir, diseña sus instrumentos y dirige sus pensamientos en consecuencia. La novedad imprevista, el nuevo descubrimiento, sólo puede surgir en la medida en que sus anticipaciones sobre la naturaleza y sus instrumentos resulten erróneas... No hay otra forma eficaz de generar descubrimientos.

• Teacher cannot solve or heal all student stress. The teacher can be vigilant in trying to guide the child toward solutions;but the teacher's job in relation to this stress is ultimately to help the child learn to manage his or her own stress wisely. In accomplishing this, the teacher mentors higher academic learning by removing distracting stress, and teaches valuable life-survival skills.

• A beautiful question shifts the way we think about something and often sets in motion a process than can result in change. Entrepreneurs-o r at least the successful ones-do a great job asking beautiful questions. They almost have no choice -their whole reason for being is to disrupt, innovate, solve a problem no one else is solving.

• Learning how to get in tune with your field of energy and understand how to create your energy, expand that energy, and move that energy through your body. Coming back to your center, and approaching life from that center-to-line place... That to me gave me strength and understanding and hopefully wisdom to solve life's problems and challenges.
