Controversy Quotes - Page 12

• And therefore, as when there is a controversy in an account, the parties must by their own accord, set up for right Reason, the Reason of some Arbitrator, or Judge, to whose sentence, they will both stand, or their controversy must either come to blows, or be undecided, for want of a right Reason constituted by Nature; so is it also in all debates of what kind soever.

• Creo que es sensato que los trabajadores se unan para defender sus intereses.... Creo que el empleador que se niega a tratar con los trabajadores organizados y a reconocerlos como un elemento apropiado en la solución de controversias salariales está atrasado en el tiempo .... Por supuesto, cuando los trabajadores organizados se permiten simpatizar con métodos violentos o coacciones indebidas, no tienen derecho a nuestra simpatía.

• Concerning alchemy it is more difficult to discover the actual state of things, in that the historians who specialise in this field seem sometimes to be under the wrath of God themselves; for, like those who write of the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy or on Spanish politics, they seem to become tinctured with the kind of lunacy they set out to describe.

• Science does not enter a chaotic society to put order into it anymore, to simplify its composition, and to put an end to controversies. It does enter it, but to add new uncertain ingredients... to all the other ingredients that make up the collective experiments. When scientists add their findings to the mix, they do not put an end to politics; they add new ingredients to the collective process.

• Desde la ascensión de Enrique VII hasta el estallido de las guerras civiles, Inglaterra disfrutó de una exención mucho mayor de la guerra, extranjera y nacional, que durante un largo período anterior y durante la controversia entre las casas de York y Lancaster. Estos años de paz fueron favorables para el comercio y las artes. El comercio y las artes aumentaron el conocimiento general e individual; y el conocimiento es la única fuente, tanto del amor como de los principios de la libertad humana.

• Europe has a set of primary interests, which to us have none, or a very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves, by artificial ties, in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

• LEAD, n. A heavy blue-gray metal much used ... as a counterpoise to an argument of such weight that it turns the scale of debate the wrong way.

• La cuestión de la "extinción". ¿Salvar la especie para quién? Para la comodidad de los humanos, por supuesto. Los individuos de la especie son arrebatados de sus hogares/familias/hábitats/sometidos a cautiverio/forzados a aparearse con gran dolor físico/espiritual. Cuando se alcanza el número adecuado, ¡el holocausto vuelve a empezar! ¡¡¡Otro tiovivo/ bu$ine$$ a$ u$ual!!! A los proteccionistas y bienestaristas les resulta rentable: ¡sin controversia y con donaciones fáciles! ¡Prefiero ver una especie entera extinguida que en manos de los humanos!
