• La cuestión que ahora nos ocupa, si las especies vivas están conectadas con las extinguidas por un vínculo común de descendencia, se aclarará mejor dedicándonos al estudio del estado actual del mundo viviente, y a aquellos monumentos del pasado en los que las reliquias de la creación animada de épocas anteriores están mejor conservadas y menos mutiladas por la mano del tiempo.

• In China the struggle to consolidate the socialist system, the struggle to decide whether socialism or capitalism will prevail, will still take a long historical period. However, we should all realize that the new system of socialism will unquestionably be consolidated. We can assuredly build a socialist state with modern industry, modern agriculture, and modern science and culture.

• Tras la victoria de la revolución china en todo el país y la solución del problema de la tierra, seguirán existiendo en China dos contradicciones básicas. La primera es interna, es decir, la contradicción entre la clase obrera y la burguesía. La segunda es externa, es decir, la contradicción entre China y los países imperialistas. Por consiguiente, tras la victoria de la revolución democrática popular, el poder estatal de la república popular bajo la dirección de la clase obrera no debe debilitarse, sino reforzarse.

• "¿No quieren abolir el poder del Estado?" Sí, queremos, pero no ahora. No podemos hacerlo todavía. ¿Por qué? Porque todavía existe el imperialismo, porque todavía existe la reacción interna, porque todavía existen clases en nuestro país. Nuestra tarea actual es fortalecer el aparato estatal popular -principalmente el ejército popular, la policía popular y los tribunales populares- para consolidar la defensa nacional y proteger los intereses del pueblo.

• Todo juego aspira a la condición de paraíso... a través del juego en todas sus formas... esperamos alcanzar un estado que nuestra gran cultura grecorromana y judeocristiana siempre ha sabido que estaba perdido. No sabemos dónde existe, aunque siempre lo hemos imaginado como un jardín... siempre como algo lejano, como un lugar verde cerrado... El paraíso es un sueño antiguo... Es un sueño de nosotros mismos como algo mejor de lo que somos, de vuelta a lo que fuimos.

• In my mind, he was guilty of no error - he was chargeable with no exaggeration - he was betrayed by his fancy into no metaphor, who once said that all we see about us, Kings, Lords, and Commons, the whole machinery of the State, all the apparatus of the system, and its varied workings, end in simply bringing twelve good men into a box.

• Judging by opinion polls, Israel has bigger problems than me. It is among the most hated countries on the planet. It should stop acting like a lunatic state. Once it carries on like a normal country, I will be happily redirect my energies elsewhere.

• Every work of science great enough to be well remembered for a few generations affords some exemplification of the defective state of the art of reasoning of the time when it was written; and each chief step in science has been a lesson in logic.

• The longing to behold this pre-established harmony [of phenomena and theoretical principles] is the source of the inexhaustible patience and perseverance with which Planck has devoted himself ... The state of mind which enables a man to do work of this kind is akin to that of the religious worshiper or the lover; the daily effort comes from no deliberate intention or program, but straight from the heart.

  Albert Einstein

• The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either - but right through every human heart - and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained.

• The Constitution of the United States, for instance, is a marvelous document for self-government by the Christian people. But the minute you turn the document into the hands of non-Christian people and atheistic people they can use it to destroy the very foundation of our society. And that's what's been happening.

• We do not want an official state church. If ninety-nine percent of the population were Catholics, I would still be opposed to it. I do not want civil power combined with religious power. I want to make it clear that I am committed as a matter of deep personal conviction to separation.

• I make a distinction between Buddhism with a Capital 'B' and buddhism with a small 'b'. Sri Lanka has the former, in which the state uses Buddhism as an instrument of power, so there are even Buddhists monks who say the Tamils should be eliminated. Thai Buddhists are not perfect either. Some Thai Buddhist monks have compromised with the kind and possess cars and other luxuries. In many Buddhist countries, the emphasis is on being goody-goody, which is not good enough. I am for buddhism with a small 'b' which is non-violent, practical and aims to eliminate the cause of suffering.

• Justo antes de dejar el cargo, recibí una carta de un hombre. No sé por qué decidió escribirla, pero me alegro de que lo hiciera. Escribía que puedes irte a vivir a Francia, pero no puedes convertirte en francés. Puedes ir a vivir a Alemania o Italia, pero no puedes convertirte en alemán o italiano. Pasó por Turquía, Grecia, Japón y otros países. Pero dijo que cualquiera, de cualquier rincón del mundo, puede venir a vivir a Estados Unidos y convertirse en estadounidense.

• When you enlisted into the armed forces you swore to support and defend a Constitution that did not yet fully apply to you. You chose to endure the same sacrifices as your fellow comrades in arms to preserve the freedom of a land that was not yet fully yours. You accepted that you might have to pay the ultimate price on behalf of a nation to which you did not fully belong. Now, you will officially become citizens of the United States, a country to which each of you has already borne true faith and allegiance in your hearts and your deeds.

• I'm sometimes asked why it is that for 30 years we seem to have trouble in the United States enforcing the rules against illegal immigration, and I'll tell you what the answer is. The answer is that when the television cameras turn off and the spotlight moves to something else, there are a host of interest groups and advocacy groups who work very, very hard to make it difficult to enforce these rules. I'm not commenting adversely on their motivation, but I can tell you the effect of all of this is to wear down the ability of an agency to enforce the law.
