Conscientiousness Quotes

• Self-discipline, although difficult, and not always easy while combating
  negative emotions, should be a defensive measure. At least we will be able to prevent the advent of negative conduct dominated by negative emotion. That is 'shila', or moral ethics. Once we develop this by familiarizing ourselves with it, along with mindfulness and conscientiousness, eventually that pattern and way of life will become a part of our own life.

• What matters most in a child’s development, they say, is not how much information we can stuff into her brain in the first few years. What matters, instead, is whether we are able to help her develop a very different set of qualities, a list that includes persistence, self-control, curiosity, conscientiousness, grit, and self-confidence. Economists refer to these as noncognitive skills, psychologists call them personality traits, and the rest of us sometimes think of them as character.

• Industriousness and conscientiousness are often at odds, because industriousness wants to pick the still sour fruit from the tree,while conscientiousness lets it hang there too long, until it falls and bruises.

• Su lucha constante es con el Nafs (interés propio), la raíz de toda desarmonía y el único enemigo del hombre. Al aplastar a este enemigo, el hombre adquiere dominio sobre sí mismo, lo que le permite dominar todo el universo, porque se ha derribado el muro que separa al yo del Todopoderoso. La dulzura, la suavidad, el respeto, la humildad, la modestia, la abnegación, la conciencia, la tolerancia y el perdón son considerados por los sufíes como los atributos que producen armonía tanto en la propia alma como en la ajena.

• Superstitions, and especially the early cultivation of religion, with its "fear of the Lord" and of unknown mysterious agencies, are especially potent in the development of the instinct of fear. Even the early cultivation of morality and conscientiousness, with their fears of right and wrong, often causes psychoneurotic states in later life. Religious, social, and moral taboos and superstitions, associated with apprehension of threatening impending evil, based on the fear instinct, form the germs of psychopathic affections.

• Algún día, tal vez, existirá una convicción pública bien informada, bien considerada y, sin embargo, ferviente, de que el más mortal de todos los pecados posibles es la mutilación del espíritu de un niño; porque tal mutilación socava el principio vital de la confianza, sin el cual todo acto humano, por muy bueno que parezca y por muy correcto que parezca, es propenso a la perversión por formas destructivas de la conciencia.

• Affirmative action was designed originally for "women and other minorities" but the phrase has become just another tortured euphemism. Female conscientiousness and eagerness to please have always made women good students and natural test takers. Jews have gloried in scholarship throughout the ages, and Asians of both sexes score so high on SATs and IQ tests that they regard affirmative action as an impediment. Affirmative action really means favoritism for blacks for the sake of racial peace, but the favor is pure chimera, and so, increasingly, is the peace.

• Good teachers don't approach a child of this age with overzealousness or with destructive conscientiousness. They're not drill-masters in the military or floor managers in a production system. They are specialists in opening small packages. They give the string a tug but do it carefully. They don't yet know what's in the box. They don't know if it's breakable.

• I write incessantly, I'm very productive, I write for a dozen publications and blogs and websites. A lot of very hardcore political stuff. I write a weekly feature. I express myself. But when time comes to make music [with the] same absolutely unleashing of total honesty zero inhibitions, it just flows like a stream of conscientiousness because I will not be silenced no matter what my point might be.

• El dinero público debe tocarse con la más escrupulosa conciencia del honor. No es sólo el producto de la riqueza, sino de las duras ganancias del trabajo y la pobreza. Se extrae incluso de la amargura de la necesidad y la miseria. No hay mendigo que pase o perezca en las calles, cuyo granito de arena no esté en esa masa.

  Thomas Paine
