• I experimented with all possible maneuvers-loops, somersaults and barrel rolls. I stood upside down on one finger and burst out laughing, a shrill, distorted laugh. Nothing I did altered the automatic rhythm of the air. Delivered from gravity and buoyancy, I flew around in space.

  Jacques Yves Cousteau

• A veces, la vida es dura, tan dura como el acero del crisol. Tiene sus momentos sombríos y dolorosos. Como el agua siempre fluyente de un río, la vida tiene sus momentos de sequía y sus momentos de crecida. Como el ciclo siempre cambiante de las estaciones, la vida tiene el calor calmante de los veranos y el frío penetrante de sus inviernos. Pero a través de todo ello, Dios camina con nosotros. No olvides nunca que Dios es capaz de elevarte de la fatiga de la desesperación a la flotabilidad de la esperanza, y de transformar los valles oscuros y desolados en senderos iluminados por el sol de la paz interior.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• The simple person lives the way he breathes, with no more effort or glory, with no more affectation and without shame Simplicity is freedom, buoyancy, transparency. As simple as the air, as free as the air The simple person does not take himself too seriously or too tragicallyHe has nothing to prove, since he has no appearances to keep up, and nothing to seek, since everything is before him. What is more simple than simplicity? What is lighter? It is the virtue of wise men and the wisdom of saints.

• Look at the limes in this drink, how they float. That's good news. Next time I'm on a boat, and it capsizes, I will reach for a lime. I'm saved by the buoyancy of citrus.

• El paso de los años es como un río que arrastra a la gente. Algunos son arrastrados, protestando, luchando todo el tiempo, tratando de nadar de vuelta a la corriente, añorando las orillas que han dejado atrás, agarrándose a cualquier cosa que pueda retrasar su avance, asustados por el avance de la fuerte corriente y en peligro de ser arrollados por las aguas. Otros se dejan llevar libremente por la corriente, confiando en la flotabilidad del agua.

• Hay que liberar el espíritu de ataduras tan fuertes y de sentimientos que nunca descansan, para que el empuje de la vida dé aliento al alma. En muchas familias hay sentimientos heridos y reticencia a perdonar. No importa de qué se trate. No se puede ni se debe dejar que hiera. La culpa mantiene abiertas las heridas. Sólo el perdón cura. George Herbert, un poeta de principios del siglo XVII, escribió estas líneas: El que no puede perdonar a los demás rompe el puente por el que él mismo debe pasar si quiere llegar al cielo, porque todo el mundo necesita el perdón".

  Thomas S. Monson

• In this interconnected universe, every improvement we make in our private world improves the world at large for everyone. We all float on the collective level of consciousness of mankind, so that any increment we add comes back to us. We all add to our common buoyancy by our efforts to benefit life. It is a scientific fact that what is good for you is good for me.

• The boatmen appeared to lead an easy and contented life, and we thought that we should prefer their employment ourselves to many professions which are much more sought after. They suggested how few circumstances are necessary to the well-being and serenity of man, how indifferent all employments are, and that any may seem noble and poetic to the eyes of men, if pursued with sufficient buoyancy and freedom.

• As buoyancy is not contrary to other characteristics of leadership, including decisiveness, accountability and performance standards, I don't ever think it can be self-defeating.

• Esa rudeza y fuerza combinadas con agudeza e inquisición; ese giro práctico e inventivo de la mente, rápido para encontrar expedientes; esa magistral comprensión de las cosas materiales, carente de lo artístico pero poderosa para lograr grandes fines; esa energía inquieta y nerviosa; ese individualismo dominante, trabajando para el bien y para el mal, y con ello esa vitalidad y exuberancia que viene con la libertad - estos son los rasgos de la frontera.

• Our minds must meditate on some object. According to what he thinks, a man can create an atmosphere of radiance, exuberance, buoyancy; and this brings joy. Or he can carry gloom with him. It is a matter of the habit of thought. We must build up our own life by our thoughts. There are many ways by which we can do this. Art, music, even manual work, all can bring ripening to the soul.

• No hay peor error en el liderazgo público que albergar falsas esperanzas que pronto se desvanecerán. El pueblo británico puede afrontar el peligro o la desgracia con entereza y optimismo, pero resiente amargamente ser engañado o descubrir que los responsables de sus asuntos viven en el paraíso de los tontos.

• Además de pasear tranquilamente, me gusta dar una vuelta en mi bicicleta tándem. Es espléndido sentir el viento soplando en mi cara y el movimiento elástico de mi corcel de hierro. La rápida carrera por el aire me da una deliciosa sensación de fuerza y flotabilidad, y el ejercicio hace que mi pulso baile y mi corazón cante.

• He watched a catbird hopping around in an azalea that was readying itself to bloom; he envied the bird for knowing nothing of what he knew; he would have swapped souls with it in a heartbeat. And then to take wing, to know the air's buoyancy even for an hour: the trad was a no-brainer, and the catbird, with its lively indifference to him, its sureness of physical selfhood, seemed well aware of how preferable it was to be the bird.

  Jonathan Franzen

• Buoyancy is a phenomenon whereby, as a leader, you float because the people you inspired believe that you should, because you've truly connected with the collective desires and values of the people you lead.

• When writers make us shake our heads with the exactness of their prose and their truths, and even make us laugh about ourselves or life, our buoyancy is restored. We are given a shot at dancing with, or at least clapping along with, the absurdity of life, instead of being squashed by it over and over again.

• Friends are necessary to a happy life. When friendship deserts us, we are as helpless as a ship left by the tide high upon the shore. When friendship returns to us, it's as though the tide came back, giving us buoyancy and freedom.
