• Cuando algunos gobernadores republicanos pidieron probar nuevas formas de volver a poner a trabajar a las personas que recibían asistencia social, la Administración Obama dijo que sólo lo harían si tenían un plan creíble para aumentar el empleo en un 20%. ¿Oyes eso? Más trabajo. Así que la afirmación de que el presidente Obama debilitó el requisito de trabajo de la reforma de la asistencia social no es cierta.

• As with many other folk beliefs, 'feng-shui' undoubtedly incorporates some scientifically correct observation or received wisdom based on direct experience of natural phenomena; but it needs to be dealt with skeptically as a credible system of thought. Some feng-shui prescriptions can certainly lead to desirable results.

• Unless they can immediately demonstrate a credible fear of persecution, why shouldn't these people be returned at once to the country from which they embarked - whether it be their home country or a stopover point - at the expense of the airline that brought them? All appeals would then be made from the country to which they have been returned.

• Se calcula que entre 20 y 50 millones de estadounidenses fuman marihuana de forma habitual, aunque ilegal, sin supervisión médica directa. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta larga historia de consumo y del número extraordinariamente elevado de fumadores sociales, simplemente no hay informes creíbles que sugieran que el consumo de marihuana haya causado una sola muerte. Por el contrario, la aspirina, un medicamento de venta libre de uso común, causa cientos de muertes cada año.

• We needed to be uncompromising with our workforce, to expect 100 percent of our employees to comply 100 percent of the time with complex and ever-changing government mandates. Striving to comply with every law does not mean agreeing with every law. But, even when faced with laws we think are counter-productive, we must first comply. Only then, from a credible position, can we enter into a dialogue with regulatory agencies to demonstrate alternatives that are more beneficial. If these efforts fail, we can then join with others in using education and/or political efforts to change the law.

• The Orient and Islam have a kind of extrareal, phenomenologically reduced status that puts them out of reach of everyone except the Western expert. From the beginning of Western speculation about the Orient, the one thing th orient could not do was to represent itself. Evidence of the Orient was credible only after it had passed through and been made firm by the refining fire of the Orientalist’s work.

• The number of humble-bees in any district depends in a great degree on the number of field-mice, which destroy their combs and nests; and Mr. H. Newman, who has long attended to the habits of humble-bees, ... says "Near villages and small towns I have found the nests of humble-bees more numerous than elsewhere, which I attribute to the number of cats that destroy the mice." Hence it is quite credible that the presence of a feline animal in large numbers in a district might determine, through the intervention first of mice and then of bees, the frequency of certain flowers in that district!

• The idea that a bell rings to signal when investors should get into or out of the stock market is simply not credible. After nearly fifty years in this business, I do not know of anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. I don't even know anybody who knows anybody who has done it successfully and consistently. Yet market timing appears to be increasingly embraced by mutual fund investors and the professional managers of fund portfolios alike.

• La idea de la infancia como invento social, retrospectivamente, resulta poco creíble. En la Biblia, en los escritos de griegos y romanos y en las obras del primer gran educador de la era moderna, Comenius, se reconocía que los niños eran a la vez diferentes de los adultos y diferentes entre sí con respecto a sus etapas de desarrollo. Sin duda, el estudio científico de los niños y la mayor duración de la vida en la época moderna han mejorado nuestra comprensión de las diferencias de edad, pero siempre se han reconocido.

• The problem of the novelist who wishes to write about a man's encounter with God is how he shall make the experience--which is both natural and supernatural--understandable, and credible, to his reader. In any age this would be a problem, but in our own, it is a well- nigh insurmountable one. Today's audience is one in which religious feeling has become, if not atrophied, at least vaporous and sentimental.

• We think that we live in a heterosexual society because most men are fixated on women as sexual objects; but, in fact, we live ina homosexual society because all credible transactions of power, authority, and authenticity take place among men; all transactions based on equity and individuality take place among men. Men are real; therefore, all real relationship is between men; all real communication is between men; all real reciprocity is between men; all real mutuality is between men.

• I learned early that you'd better know what you're talking about. You'd better realize that certain issues are going to be so hot - no matter what reason, what logic you apply to it - you're going to be met with an opposition just because their viewpoint is different, and there's no way they're going to accept your reasoning. Furthermore, they're going to attack you because you will be portrayed as not being credible: "You're an actor. What do you know?"
