Summit Quotes - Page 7

• To neglect the common ground with other primates, and to deny the evolutionary roots of human morality, would be like arriving at the top of a tower to declare that the rest of the building is irrelevant, that the precious concept of "tower" ought to be reserved for the summit.

  And until one and all shall delight us, and we them.

• I cannot imagine how any diplomat, or any dramatist, could improve on (Ronald Reagan's) words to Mikhail Gorbachev at the Geneva summit: 'Let me tell you why it is we distrust you.' Those words are candid and tough and they cannot have been easy to hear. But they are also a clear invitation to a new beginning and a new relationship that would be rooted in trust.

• God's slavation is not a purchase to be made, nor wages to be earned, nor a summit to be climbed, nor a task to be accomplished; but it is simply and only a gift to be accepted, and can only be accepted by faith.

• En un discurso pronunciado en la recién concluida cumbre del G20 en Londres, el Presidente Obama instó a los estadounidenses a no dejar que sus temores limiten sus gastos. Sería imprudente que el miedo a perder el empleo, a la falta de ahorros, a las facturas impagadas, a las deudas de las tarjetas de crédito o a los préstamos estudiantiles disuadiera a los estadounidenses de hacer grandes compras. Según el presidente, "debemos gastar ahora como inversión para el futuro" ..... En lugar de ahorrar para el futuro, debemos gastar para el futuro.

• Man may be excused for feeling some pride at having risen, though not through his own exertions, to the very summit of the organic scale; and the fact of his having thus risen, instead of having been aboriginally placed there, may give him hopes for a still higher destiny in the distant future.

• Kofi Annan describió la Cumbre Mundial sobre la Sociedad de la Información como la primera cumbre que se ocupa principalmente de una oportunidad. El abanico de cuestiones y oportunidades potenciales que podrían incluirse en la Sociedad de la Información es enorme. Los textos de compromiso son muy pobres a la hora de abordarlos de manera significativa, y muchos gobiernos no ven sentido en intentarlo.

• Mountains are cathedrals: grand and pure, the houses of my religion. I go to them as humans go to worship...From their lofty summits, I view my past, dream of the future, and with unusual acuity I am allowed to experience the present moment. My strength renewed, my vision cleared, in the mountains I celebrate creation. On each journey I am reborn.

• Perhaps a great love is never returned. Had it been given warmth and shelter by its counterpart in the Other, perhaps it would have been hindered from ever growing to maturity. It "gives" us nothing. But in its world of loneliness it leads us up to the summits with wide vistas - of great insights.

  Dag Hammarskjold

• Anticípate a la caridad previniendo la pobreza; ayuda al prójimo reducido, ya sea mediante un regalo considerable o una suma de dinero o enseñándole un oficio o poniéndole en el camino de los negocios para que pueda ganarse honradamente la vida y no se vea obligado a la terrible alternativa de tender la mano a la caridad. Este es el peldaño más alto y la cima de la escalera de oro de la caridad.

• En Madame Bovary, Flaubert nunca permite que nada se alargue demasiado; puede sugerir años de aburrimiento en un párrafo, captar la esencia de un personaje en un solo intercambio conversacional o mostrarnos el abismo entre su heroína con alma y su marido torpe en una frase (que, además, presagia toda la experiencia posterior de Emma con los hombres). (...) Esta es una de las cumbres del arte de la prosa, y no conocer una obra maestra así es vivir una vida disminuida.

• El hombre lleva aquí 32.000 años. Que se tardara cien millones de años en preparar el mundo para él es una prueba de que se hizo para eso. Supongo que sí, no sé. Si la Torre Eiffel representara ahora la edad del mundo, la piel de pintura en el pomo del pináculo en su cima representaría la parte del hombre en esa edad; y cualquiera percibiría que la piel es para lo que se construyó la torre. Yo creo que sí, no sé.

• Our life is like a land journey, too even and easy and dull over long distances across the plains, too hard and painful up the steep grades; but, on the summits of the mountain, you have a magnificent view—and your eyes are full of happy tears—and you want to sing—and wish you had wings! And then—you can’t stay there, but must continue your journey—you begin climbing down the other side, so busy with your footholds that your summit experience is forgotten
