• Cuando una persona tiene una autoestima adecuada, los pequeños desaires no suponen ninguna amenaza: simplemente se "pasan por alto" y se ignoran. Incluso las heridas emocionales más profundas se curan más rápida y limpiamente, sin llagas supurantes que envenenen la vida y estropeen la felicidad.

• It opposes the dogmatic application to all cases of what is adequate only for piecemeal aggregates. The question is whether an approach in piecemeal terms, through blind connections, is or is not adequate to interpret actual thought processes and the role of the past experience as well. Past experience has to be considered thoroughly, but it is ambiguous in itself; so long as it is taken in piecemeal, blind terms it is not the magic key to solve all problems.

  Max Wertheimer

• This common and unfortunate fact of the lack of adequate presentation of basic ideas and motivations of almost any mathematical theory is probably due to the binary nature of mathematical perception. Either you have no inkling of an idea, or, once you have understood it, the very idea appears so embarrassingly obvious that you feel reluctant to say it aloud.

  Mijail Leonidovich Gromov

• The youthful brain should in general not be burdened with things ninety-five percent of which it cannot use and hence forgets again... In many cases, the material to be learned in the various subjects is so swollen that only a fraction of it remains in the head of the individual pupil, and only a fraction of this abundance can find application, while on the other hand it is not adequate for the man working and earning his living in a definite field.

  Adolf Hitler

• There's an enduring American compulsion to be on the side of the angels. Expediency alone has never been an adequate American reason for doing anything. When actions are judged, they go before the bar of God, where Mom and the Flag closely flank His presence.

• La queja sobre los modernos muebles de acero, las modernas casas de cristal, los modernos bares rojos y los modernos trenes y coches aerodinámicos es que todos estos objetos modernizadores, aunque adecuados y divertidos en sí mismos, tienden a hacer que las personas que los utilizan parezcan anticuadas. Es una crítica sincera. La raza humana no ha hecho gran cosa por cambiar su propia apariencia para ajustarse a la forma y textura de sus accesorios.

  E. B. White

• El agua es una de las necesidades más básicas: no podemos vivir más de unos días sin ella. Sin embargo, la mayoría de la gente da el agua por sentada. La malgastamos innecesariamente y no nos damos cuenta de que el agua limpia es un recurso muy limitado. Más de 1.000 millones de personas en todo el mundo no tienen acceso a agua potable segura y limpia, y más de 2.500 millones no disponen de un servicio de saneamiento adecuado. Más de 2 millones de personas mueren cada año a causa del agua insalubre, ¡y la mayoría son niños!

• Creo que la vida me ofrece pruebas suficientes de mi valor y entereza: la enfermedad, la traición, la búsqueda infructuosa del amor, el trabajo para maltratadores, dementes y déspotas. Todos estos retos me resultan tan emocionantes como trepar por rocas heladas con unas botas que apenas me sirven.

• De repente, los argumentos de venta del cristianismo contemporáneo ya no parecen adecuados. Pídele a Jesús que entre en tu corazón. Invita a Jesús a entrar en tu vida. Reza esta oración, firma esta tarjeta, camina por este pasillo y acepta a Jesús como tu Salvador personal. . . Hemos tomado al infinitamente glorioso Hijo de Dios, que soportó la infinitamente terrible ira de Dios y que ahora reina como el infinitamente digno Señor de todos, y lo hemos reducido a un pobre y enclenque Salvador que sólo suplica que lo aceptemos. ¿Aceptarlo? ¿Realmente pensamos que Jesús necesita nuestra aceptación? ¿No le necesitamos?
