Controversy Quotes - Page 15

• Lamento sobremanera que las disputas entre protestantes y católicos romanos hayan llegado a la grave y alarmante altura mencionada en sus cartas. Las controversias religiosas siempre producen más acritud y odios irreconciliables que las que surgen de cualquier otra causa; y no me faltaron esperanzas de que la política ilustrada y liberal de la época actual hubiera puesto fin eficazmente a este tipo de contenciones.

  George Washington

• Pero espero que por la decisión y autoridad de sabios príncipes que alguna vez hombres devotos y doctos de las iglesias de otras naciones y de la nuestra puedan ser convocados juntos para deliberar sobre todas las controversias y que se transmita a la posteridad una forma armoniosa, verdadera y clara de doctrina, sin ninguna ambigüedad. Mientras tanto, en la medida de lo posible, fomentemos la unión de nuestras iglesias con consejos mesurados.

• This is business: they don't care about your lyrics;
  The better you sell, the better future for their children.
  Controversy sells, so they support conflict,
  Makes more progress, means more profit.
  An artist gets killed, they say they're 'so sorry,'
  Meanwhile, they tell you the date of his next project.
  What a life...death made them more profit:
  Record companies get paid for your drama.

• Yo diría que la experiencia especial de la política bélica estadounidense en los últimos 40 años, desde Vietnam en adelante, es que la propia guerra se convirtió en objeto de controversia en el país y que lo más importante que necesitamos en la situación actual es, independientemente de los desacuerdos que pueda haber sobre las tácticas, que la legitimidad de la propia guerra no se convierta en objeto de controversia. Tenemos que partir de la base, obviamente, de que cualquiera que sea la administración que está llevando a cabo una guerra quiere ponerle fin.

• The organizers first job is to create the issues or problems, and organizations must be based on many issues. The organizer must first rub raw the resentments of the people of the community; fan the latent hostilities of many of the people to the point of overt expression. He must search out controversy and issues, rather than avoid them, for unless there is controversy people are not concerned enough to act. . . . An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.

  Saul Alinsky

• Estos son los días en que hombres de todas las disciplinas sociales y de todos los credos políticos buscan lo cómodo y lo aceptado; en que el hombre de controversia se mira como una influencia perturbadora; en que la originalidad se toma como una marca de inestabilidad; y en que, en una modificación menor de la parábola original, lo soso guía a lo soso.

• Rediscovering the controversies that occupied early Christianity sharpens our awareness of the major issue in the whole debate, then and now: What is the source of religious authority? For the Christian the question takes more specific form: What is the relation between the authority of ones own experience and that claimed for the scriptures, the ritual and the clergy?

• Jesus' life was a storm of controversy. The apostles, like the prophets before them, could hardly go a day without controversy. Paul said that he debated daily in the marketplace. To avoid controversy is to avoid Christ. We can have peace, but it is a servile and carnal peace where truth is slain in the streets.

• A todas las nuevas verdades, o a la renovación de las antiguas, debe suceder como en el arca entre el mundo destruido y el que está a punto de ser renovado. El cuervo debe ser enviado antes que la paloma, y la ominosa controversia debe preceder a la paz y a la corona de olivo.
