• Every individual is at once the beneficiary and the victim of the linguistic tradition into which he has been born - the beneficiary inasmuch as language gives access to the accumulated records of other people's experience, the victim in so far as it confirms him in the belief that reduced awareness is the only awareness and as it bedevils his sense of reality, so that he is all too apt to take his concepts for data, his words for actual things.

• Por último, lo que más me gusta de todas las historias es que su necesidad radica en el reconocimiento implícito de que en algún lugar existe una urgencia -un caos-, una locura, un desgobierno de algún tipo funesto que puede acabar con la vida tal y como la conocemos si no fuera por el hecho de que esta misma historia está escrita, este orden encontrado, este estilo determinado, lo peor evitado, y nosotros somos beneficiarios de ese orden por ser lectores...

• Free speech is essential to education, especially to a liberal education, which encourages the search for truths in art and science. If expression is restricted, the range of inquiry is also curtailed... The beneficiaries of a free society have a duty to pursue the truth and to protect the freedom of expression that makes possible the search for a new enlightenment.

• Nadie va a hacer tu vida por ti. Tienes que hacerlo tú mismo, seas rico o pobre, te falte dinero o te sobra, seas el beneficiario de una fortuna ridícula o de una terrible injusticia. Y tienes que hacerlo sin importar lo que sea verdad. No importa lo que sea duro. No importa que te ocurran cosas injustas, tristes y horribles. La autocompasión es un camino sin salida. Tú eliges conducir por él. Depende de ti decidir quedarte aparcado allí o dar la vuelta y salir.

• Altruism declares that any action taken for the benefit of others is good, and any action taken for one's own benefit is evil. Thus the beneficiary of an action is the only criterion of moral value - and so long as that beneficiary is anybody other than oneself, anything goes.

• The only beneficiaries of income taxation are the politicians, for it not only gives them the means by which they can increase their emoluments, but it also enables them to improve their importance. The have-nots who support the politicians in the demand for income taxation do so only because they hate the haves; . . . the sum of all the arguments for income taxation comes to political ambition and the sin of covetousness.

• El primer beneficiario de la compasión es siempre uno mismo. Cuando la compasión, o la calidez de corazón, surge en nosotros y nuestro enfoque se aleja de nuestro propio y estrecho interés, es como si abriéramos una puerta interior. Reduce el miedo, aumenta la confianza y nos aporta fuerza interior. Al reducir la desconfianza, nos abre a los demás y nos aporta un sentido de conexión con los demás y un sentido de propósito y significado en la vida.

  Dalai Lama

• It is true that all of us are the beneficiaries of crimes committed by our ancestors, and it is true that nothing can be done about that now because the victims are dead and the survivors are innocent. These are good reasons for keeping our mouths shut about the past: but tell me, what are our reasons for silence about atrocities still to come?
