• I think a lot of things will be self-correcting, even in America. After all, human societies are essentially self-organizing emergent systems. The catch is, how much disorder will we have to endure while this re-self-organizing process occurs.

• Legislators in Kansas, Arizona and 23 other states who are properly determined to protect religious freedom can begin by asking themselves: Does any religious conviction justify denying lesbians and gays a basic legal promise of non-discrimination in hiring, public accommodations, and housing? Surely the answer to this question is no. Correcting that inequity would begin the process of recognizing that both sides - gay couples and religious objectors - have rights and that reasonable accommodation is possible only when both sides have something to gain.

• The right wing can use anything, and we have to make it very clear and I make it very clear that my love for the president in terms of protecting him and respecting him but also correcting, now all three of those are crucial, and if I can do all three, then the right wing can use it whatever they want, and I'm just clear where I stand, over against them but also critical when the president leans toward the strong, rather than the weak.

• The imagination acquires by custom a certain involuntary, unconscious power of observation and comparison, correcting its own mistakes, and arriving at precision of judgment, just as the outward eye is disciplined to compare, adjust, estimate, measure, the objects reflected on the back of its retina.

• I know just as well what to teach this people and just what to say to them and what to do in order to bring them into the celestial kingdom...I have never yet preached a sermon and sent it out to the children of men, that they may not call Scripture. Let me have the privilege of correcting a sermon, and it is as good Scripture as they deserve. The people have the oracles of God continually.

• La quiropráctica, que celebró su centenario en 1995, es una curiosa mezcla de ciencia y pseudociencia, de sentido común y disparate. Gran parte de ella se basa en la teoría de que los huesos de la columna vertebral desalineados producen interferencias nerviosas que causan enfermedades. Muchos quiroprácticos afirman que corregir estas desalineaciones ("subluxaciones") puede devolver la salud y que los ajustes regulares de la columna son esenciales para mantenerla.

• El poder bien entendido no es más que la capacidad de lograr
  propósito... uno de los grandes problemas de la historia es que los conceptos de amor y poder se han contrapuesto normalmente como opuestos --- polos opuestos --- de modo que el amor se identifica con una renuncia al poder, y el poder con una negación del amor.... Lo que hace falta es darse cuenta de que el poder sin amor es temerario y abusivo, y el amor sin poder es sentimental y anémico. El poder en su máxima expresión es el amor aplicando las exigencias de la justicia, y la justicia en su máxima expresión es el poder corrigiendo todo lo que se opone al amor.

  Martin Luther King, Jr.

• Indeed the reasoned criticism of a prevailing belief is a service to the proponents of that belief; if they are incapable of defending it, they are well advised to abandon it. This self-questioning and error-correcting aspect of the scientific method is its most striking property.

• Clearly, there is some invisible force that is moving every aspect of reality to its next best expression. And the universe is not only self-organizing, it is also self-correcting. The embryo becomes a baby; the baby is born; its lungs continue to breathe - not only were they created but then they continue to breathe. The heart is not only created but it continues to breathe. If there is injury and disease that becomes present within the body, the body is also equipped with an immune system to correct that.

• But, after all, the sciences have made progress, because philosophers have applied themselves with more attention to observe, and have communicated to their language that precision and accuracy which they have employed in their observations: In correcting their language they reason better.

• The True conservative seeks to protect the system of private property and free enterprise by correcting such injustices and inequalities as arise from it. The most serious threat to our institutions comes from those who refuse to face the need for change. Liberalism becomes the protection for the far-sighted conservative.

• La intensidad es una actitud mental más que una actitud física. Muchas personas malinterpretan lo que significa intensidad. Piensan que significa esforzarse y sudar. Pero no. Ese es un significado erróneo de la palabra. Intensidad significa implicarse totalmente, sumergirse y absorber por completo lo que se está haciendo. La práctica intensa significa un modo rápido y agudo de ajustar, corregir y avanzar progresivamente.

• For the last several decades, there was a prevailing belief among traditional economists that the markets were rational and self-correcting. Alan Greenspan advocated this view. But the 2008 financial crisis showed that this view is incorrect, and Greenspan eventually admitted as much.
