• Human beings should only use technology which if the worst case happens, it leads to an acceptable damage. Definitely nuclear energy is not in that category.

  Hans-Peter Durr

• Too often, charity is extended to another when his actions or conduct are acceptable to us. The exhibition of charity to another must not be dependent on his performance. It should be given because of who we are-not because of how we behave.

• Que Alguien en una posición tan elevada se rebaje tanto es una maravilla que asombra. ¡Qué sublime humildad y qué humilde sublimidad, que el Señor del Universo, el Divino Hijo de Dios, se rebaje hasta ocultarse bajo la apariencia de pan para nuestra salvación! Contemplad el humilde camino de Dios, hermanos míos. Por tanto, no os tengáis por nada de vosotros mismos, para que seáis enteramente aceptables a Aquel que se entrega enteramente a vosotros.

  Francis of Assisi

• Right now, we say in a traditional home one parent stays home with the children and the other provides the financial support for that family. That is the acceptable and right thing to do. If we begin to expand that, not only do we dilute the resources that are available, we begin to dilute things like health care, retirement, all the things offered to families that help them be a family.

• El mero hecho de que las religiones no se contenten con valerse por sí mismas, sino que insistan en paralizar o deformar a su favor las mentes flexibles de los niños, constituye una prueba suficiente de que no hay verdad en ellas. Si hubiera alguna verdad en la religión, sería aún más aceptable para una mente madura que para una mente infantil; sin embargo, ninguna mente madura acepta jamás la religión a menos que haya sido lisiada en la infancia.

• Magic is another word that makes people uneasy, so I use it deliberately, because words they are comfortable with, the words that sound acceptable, rational, scientific, and intellectually sound, are comfortable precisely because they are the language of estrangement.

• El sexismo en política no es nada nuevo cuando te presentas a unas elecciones. Pero si no te presentas a las elecciones, es casi igual de malo.

• We should listen less to the opinions of those who either overtly promote or stubbornly reject complementary and alternative medicine without acceptable evidence. The many patients who use complementary and alternative medicine deserve better. Patients and healthcare providers need to know which forms are safe and effective. Its future should (and hopefully will) be determined by unbiased scientific evaluation.

• A profession is a body of men who voluntarily measure their work by a higher standard than their clients demand. To be professionally acceptable, a policy must be sound as well as salable. Wildlife administration, in this respect, is not yet a profession.

• When I started, the scripts weren't as good, and you'd have to have a huge burst of energy to go, "Sheesh, how am I going to? This stuff's no good." So you'd have to improvise something or create something or try to work with the ware and try to figure out, how do you make this visually and orally acceptable, entertaining? Nowadays, the scripts are just so much better, that you don't have to feel that way. You feel like the script's coming to you, you can just relax. You don't have to drive the boat.

  Bill Murray
