Coins Quotes - Page 5

• Why do men like me want sons? he wondered. It must be because they hope in their poor beaten souls that these new men, who are their blood, will do the things they were not strong enough nor wise enough nor brave enough to do. It is rather like another chance at life; like a new bag of coins at a table of luck after your fortune is gone.

• Cuando se trata de religión, no somos dos caras de la misma moneda, y tú no puedes poner tu sinrazón en el mismo estante que mi razón. Tus cosas tienen que ir allí, en el estante con Zeus y Thor y el Kraken, con las cosas que no se basan en pruebas, cosas sobre las que la gente religiosa nunca cambia de opinión, pase lo que pase.

• Nevertheless, no matter how much they killed themselves with work, no matter how much money they eked out, and no matter how many schemes they thought of, their guardian angels were asleep with fatigue while they put in coins and took them out trying to get just enough to live with.

• Under the gold standard gold is money and money is gold. It is immaterial whether or not the laws assign legal tender quality only to gold coins minted by the government.

• God is very precise in this point; he will say to such as invent ways to worship him of their own, coin means to mortify corruption, obtain comfort in their own mint: 'Who hath required this at your hands?' This is truly to be 'righteous over-much,' as Solomon speaks, when we will pretend to correct God's law, and add supplements of our own to his rule.

• Every action has equal and opposite reaction. This is law of the universe and spares none. Wrong done and injustice inflicted is paid back in the same coin. No one has escaped justice of the universe. It is only a matter of time.

• If I tell you my character has grey hair, you will not see her. If I tell you she has a tiny scar at the upper left corner of her lip from which protrudes one grey whisker—you will make up the rest of her face with absolute clarity. If I tell you my character is waiting in a car, you won’t be ‘caught,’ but if I tell you he pushes his fingers down in the crack of the car seat where the ancient leather has pulled away from the seat frame, and pulls up a small coin purse with a faded note in it—you will be mine.

• La verdadera compasión es algo más que arrojar una moneda a un mendigo. Exige de nuestra humanidad que si vivimos en una sociedad que produce mendigos, estamos moralmente obligados a reestructurar esa sociedad.

• In a world where data is coin of the realm, and transmissions are guarded by no better sentinels than man-made codes and corruptible devices, there is no such thing as a secret.

• Reading, because we control it, is adaptable to our needs and rhythms. We are free to indulge our subjective associative impulse; the term I coin for this is deep reading: the slow and meditative possession of a book. We don't just read the words, we dream our lives in their vicinity. The printed page becomes a kind of wrought-iron fence we crawl through, returning, once we have wandered, to the very place we started.

• Viktor Frankl, superviviente del Holocausto y autor de El hombre en busca de sentido, escribió que los seres humanos crean sentido de tres maneras: a través de su trabajo, de sus relaciones y de cómo deciden afrontar el sufrimiento inevitable. Cada vida trae consigo dificultades y pruebas, y cada vida ofrece también profundas posibilidades de trabajo y amor significativos... He aprendido que el valor y la compasión son dos caras de la misma moneda.

• The money problem facing the country from 1789 to 1896 existed because Congress never exercised is authority to "coin money or regulate the value thereof" - but rather delegated that authority, sometimes by charter and sometimes by default, to the banking system. This despite the provision in the Constitution that charged Congress with the power to 'coin money, regulate the value thereof, and of foreign Coin, and fix the Standards of weight and Measures.'

  William Jennings Bryan

• Antes de 1968, los gentiles crédulos podían llevar un billete de un dólar de la Reserva Federal a cualquier banco de Estados Unidos y canjearlo por un dólar que era por ley una moneda que contenía 412 1/2 granos de plata al 90%. Hasta 1933, se podía canjear el mismo billete por una moneda de 25 4/5 de granos de oro al 90%. Todo lo que hacemos es dar a los goy más billetes no canjeables, o bien babosas de cobre. Pero nunca les damos su oro y su plata. Sólo más papel.

• I have watched hundreds of Christians in my time become financially blessed then develop an acquisitive streak that in turn makes their souls as metallic as the coins they seek.

• You who prattle that morality is social and that man would need no morality on a desert island - it is on a desert island that he would need it most. Let him try to claim, when there are no victims to pay for it, that a rock is a house, that sand is clothing, that food will drop into his mouth without cause or effort, that he will collect a harvest tomorrow by devouring his stock seed today - and reality will wipe him out, as he deserves; reality will show him that life is a value to be bought and that thinking is the only coin noble enough to buy it.

• Absent a lot of surprises, stocks are relatively predictable over twenty years. As to whether they're going to be higher or lower in two to three years, you might as well flip a coin to decide.

• Some people seem to believe that for each problem there is a solution readily available - a solution that can be promptly achieved by passing a law and voting some money. I think of this as the vending machine concept of social change. Put a coin in the machine and out comes a piece of candy. If there is a social problem, pass a law and out comes a solution.

• Sometimes language gets in the way of the story's feelings. The reader finds himself experiencing the language of the story rather than the story. The words sit there on the page like coins, with their own opacity, as though they're there for their own sake. "A man goes into a phone booth, stirring coins in his palm." "Stirring" is such an obviously selected word. You can feel the writer looking for the word as he sat at the typewriter.
