• Pero dime: ¿cómo llegó el oro a tener el valor más alto? Porque es poco común e inútil y resplandeciente y suave en su brillo; siempre se da a sí mismo. Sólo como imagen de la más alta virtud llegó el oro a ser el más alto valor. La mirada del dador brilla como el oro. Un brillo dorado concluye la paz entre la luna y el sol. No común es la virtud más elevada e inútil, es resplandeciente y gentil en su brillo: una virtud que regala es la virtud más elevada.

  Friedrich Nietzsche

• Los troyanos perdieron la guerra porque cayeron en un truco muy tonto. Hey, hay un gigantesco caballo de madera fuera y todos los griegos se han ido. ¡Traigámoslo adentro! No es una fórmula para la supervivencia a largo plazo. Ahora, si hubieran formado un grupo de trabajo para estudiar el Caballo de Troya e informar a un comité, todos no habrían sido masacrados.. ¿Quién dice que los mandos intermedios son inútiles?

• La atención y el respeto dan placer, aunque sean tardíos o inútiles. Pero no son inútiles, cuando son tardías, es razonable regocijarse, a medida que el día declina, al descubrir que ha sido gastado con la aprobación de la humanidad.

• I'm sure the feeling of fear, as long as you can take advantage of it and not be rendered useless by it, can make you extend yourself beyond what you would regard as your capacity. If you're afraid, the blood seems to flow freely through the veins, and you really do feel a sense of stimulation.

  Edmund Hillary

• Lo que un país quiere para enriquecerse no es nunca el consumo, sino la producción. Cuando existe esta última, podemos estar seguros de que no falta la primera. Producir implica que el productor desea consumir; ¿por qué, si no, iba a dedicarse a un trabajo inútil? Puede que no desee consumir lo que él mismo produce, pero su motivo para producir y vender es el deseo de comprar. Por lo tanto, si los productores generalmente producen y venden más y más, ciertamente también compran más y más.

• The missionary is no longer a man, a conscience. He is a corpse, in the hands of a confraternity, without family, without love, without any of the sentiments that are dear to us. Emasculated, in a sense, by his vow of chastity, he offers us the distressing spectacle of a man deformed and impotent or engaged in a stupid and useless struggle with the sacred needs of the flesh, a struggle which, seven times out of ten, leads him to sodomy, the gallows, or prison.

• If you're watching a film on your television, is it no longer a film because you're not watching it in a theatre? If you watch a TV show on your iPad, is it no longer a TV show? The device and the length are irrelevant; the labels are useless, except perhaps to agents and managers and lawyers, who use these labels to conduct business deals.

• Leaves are light, and useless, and idle, and wavering, and changeable; they even dance; and yet God in his wisdom has made them a part of oaks. And in so doing he has given us a lesson, not to deny the stout-heartedness within because we see the lightsomeness without.
