Truism Quotes - Page 2

• Los eclesiásticos se apresuran a defender la libertad religiosa; los abogados nunca se han sentido tan universalmente conmovidos como por el proyecto de ley de la Corte del Presidente Roosevelt; los periódicos están más atentos a las libertades civiles cuando hay un indicio de censura de prensa en el aire. Y los educadores se inquietan ante cualquier intento de frenar la libertad académica. Pero rara vez todos ellos se vuelven militantes cuando se ven amenazados los derechos de un solo grupo. No siempre reaccionan ante el tópico de que cuando los derechos de cualquier individuo o grupo se ven mermados, la libertad de todos se erosiona.

• El público, en su conjunto, no exige ni aprecia la expresión pura de la belleza. Sus miembros cultos esperan encontrar en la poesía, si acaso, un descanso de la ansiedad material y nerviosa; una frase apta o cincelada acaricia los apetitos y hace cosquillas a la imaginación. El público más general disfruta simplemente de sus tópicos y perogrulladas sacudidos al entendimiento en línea y rima; la verdad puesta en métrica suena abrumadoramente verdadera.

• No soy necesariamente un buen actor, pero una vez que la gente empieza a decir que lo eres, lo eres. Y sé que eso es una perogrullada, y obviamente no hay nada importante en esa afirmación en particular, pero en realidad se trata de que la gente te crea un buen actor.

• My only advice as an experience older singer is about singing, it isn't about music. To have a career in music is a completely different question and leads to other kinds of advice and other kind of experts. All you can do is someone planted in my mind very early on, this wonderful truism called, "Fortune favors the prepared mind." Be passionate about being a musician. There is no limit to how hard you must work and how detailed you must be in every facet of what you do, either as a singer, as a musician, or as a person.

• Everybody's looking for some kind of authenticity in music. Or some kind of truism, you know, "This is true!" And the thing about gospel music is, these people are singing about their faith. So it always comes across with, as authentic, you know? Gospel choirs put across this amazing sound but they're singing from the heart because they truly believe it. And I kind of have that faith, but I just have that faith in music.

• What I don't like about teaching is hearing myself say the same thing. I mean, you just want to sort of shoot yourself after a while. But you don't have a million different ways of thinking about what you have been thinking about for many years. And then there's the truism that you're only as good as your students. If they're not into what's going on, it doesn't matter who you are.

• La vida de Dios -la vida que la mente aprehende y disfruta a medida que se eleva hacia la unidad absoluta de todas las cosas- puede describirse como un juego de amor consigo misma; pero esta idea se hunde en una perogrullada edificante, o incluso en una perogrullada, cuando no abarca en ella la seriedad, el dolor, la paciencia y el trabajo, implicados en el aspecto negativo de las cosas.

• Ever since Richard Nixon walloped George McGovern in the presidential election of 1972, political pundits have treated as a truism the proposition that liberals are out of step with the rest of the nation, and therefore all but unelectable outside the precincts of the Northeast -- give or take a college town here or a ski resort there. During the course of every presidential election for the past forty years now, Republicans have sought to wield the word liberal as if it were a six-gauge shotgun.

• I conceive disgust at those impertinent and misbecoming familiarities, inscribed upon your ordinary tombstones. Every dead man must take upon himself to be lecturing me with his odious truism, that "such as he now is, I must shortly be." Not so shortly, friend, perhaps, as thou imaginest. In the meantime I am alive. I move about. I am worth twenty of thee. Know thy betters!

• It is a truism, of course, that in "democratic" states the populace must be encouraged to imagine that it makes important decisions by voting, and must therefore be controlled by suitable propaganda, which implants ideas to which the voters respond as automatically as trained animals respond to words of command in a circus, thus leaving to the masses only a factitious choice between Tweedledum and Tweedledee on the basis of their preference for a certain kind of oratory, a hair-style, or a particular facial expression.

• Los hombres muelen y muelen en el molino de una perogrullada, y no sale más que lo que se puso. Pero en el momento en que abandonan la tradición por un pensamiento espontáneo, entonces la poesía, el ingenio, la esperanza, la virtud, el aprendizaje, la anécdota, y todo acude en su ayuda.

• La cuestión no es si queremos que todo el mundo esté lo mejor posible. Entre los hombres de buena voluntad, tal objetivo puede darse por descontado. La verdadera cuestión se refiere a los medios adecuados para conseguirlo. Y al tratar de responder a esta pregunta no debemos perder nunca de vista algunas obviedades elementales. No se puede distribuir más riqueza de la que se crea. A largo plazo, no podemos pagar al conjunto del trabajo más de lo que produce.
