Unstable Quotes - Page 2

• But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both.

  H. G. Wells

• En las sociedades progresistas, la concentración [de la riqueza] puede llegar a un punto en el que la fuerza del número de los muchos pobres rivalice con la fuerza de la capacidad de los pocos ricos; entonces, el equilibrio inestable genera una situación crítica, a la que la historia ha hecho frente de diversas formas: mediante la legislación que redistribuye la riqueza o mediante la revolución que distribuye la pobreza.

• Building a business is like building a home. If the foundation rests on an unstable setting or is constructed with subpar materials, it doesn't matter if the rest of the home is perfect. It will never be a joy to its owner

• His conviction of having no purpose in life other than to act as a distillation of poison was part of the ego of an eighteen-year-old. He had resolved that his beautiful white hands would never be soiled or calloused. He wanted to be like a pennant, dependent on each gusting wind. The only thing that seemed valid to him was to live for the emotions--gratuitous and unstable, dying only to quicken again, dwindling and flaring without direction or purpose.

• The most important aspect of love is not in giving or the receiving: it's in the being. When I need love from others, or need to give love to others, I'm caught in an unstable situation. Being in love, rather than giving or taking love, is the only thing that provides stability. Being in love means seeing the Beloved all around me.

• The difference between a stable society and an unstable one is that the restraints in an unstable one are external. In a stable society government ultimately becomes unnecessary; the restraints on people's actions are internal, they're self-disciplined.

• I've worked with farmers in Zimbabwe who've lost their lands. I've worked with people in Venezuela, under threat of kidnappings, whose external world is unstable. But they have very strong social connections with their family and friends. And as a result, they're able to maintain a greater level of happiness and optimism than I've seen from bankers, consultants, or salespeople who are on the road all the time, who follow jobs separated from their families, and, as a result, find themselves missing out on the happiness that comes from those very connections that they severed.

• Si fuera posible transferir los métodos de la ciencia física o biológica directamente al estudio del hombre, la transferencia se habría hecho hace mucho tiempo ... Hemos fracasado no por falta de hipótesis que equiparen al hombre con el resto del universo, sino por falta de una hipótesis (salvo el animismo) que explique la peculiar divergencia del hombre ... Permítanme ahora exponer mi creencia de que el factor peculiar en el hombre que nos impide explicar sus acciones en el plano ordinario de la biología es un complejo biológico altamente especializado e inestable, y que este factor no es otro que el lenguaje.

• One of the curious things about censorship is that no one seems to believe in it for himself. We want censorship to protect someone else— the young, the unstable, the suggestible, the stupid. I have never heard of anyone who wanted a film or speaker banned because otherwise he himself might be harmed.

• Capitalism is chronically unstable.Boom and bust has always marked capitalism in the United States. There were panics in 1785, 1791, 1819, 1857, 1869, 1873, 1907, 1929 and 1987.In economies and politics, as in war, an astonishing number of people die, like the man on the railway crossing, defending their right of way. This is a poorly developed instinct in Switzerland. No country so firmly avows the principles of private enterprise but in few have the practical concessions to socialism been more numerous and varied.

• El oro no es menos, sino más racional que el papel moneda. El dinero mantiene su valor mientras su suministro sea limitado; el oro siempre será limitado, y se necesitarían recursos reales para producirlo incluso del mar; el papel y la tinta de imprenta no son limitados. El sistema del oro está mucho más cerca de un moderno sistema de control científico automático que el tosco y relativamente inestable sistema del papel.

• If it were only a few degrees, that would be serious, but we could adapt to it. But the danger is the warming process might be unstable and run away. We could end up like Venus, covered in clouds and with the surface temperature of 400 degrees. It could be too late if we wait until the bad effects of warming become obvious. We need action now to reduce emission of carbon dioxide.

• When the sun shouts and people abound One thinks there were the ages of stone and the age of bronze And the iron age; iron the unstable metal; Steel made of iron, unstable as his mother; the tow-ered-up cities Will be stains of rust on mounds of plaster. Roots will not pierce the heaps for a time, kind rains will cure them, Then nothing will remain of the iron age And all these people but a thigh-bone or so, a poem Stuck in the world's thought, splinters of glass In the rubbish dumps, a concrete dam far off in the mountain.

• Durante estos tiempos inestables, deja ir cualquier miedo o inseguridad en tus emociones. Busque nuevas formas de ver recompensados sus esfuerzos.
