Debt Quotes - Page 12

• El buen gobierno no puede encontrarse en el mostrador de las gangas. En el pasado hemos visto ejemplos de un gobierno de saldo, cuando se aseguraban tipos impositivos bajos aumentando la deuda obligatoria para gastos corrientes o negándose a mantener nuestras instituciones a la altura de las normas en cuanto a reparaciones, ampliaciones, equipamiento y alojamiento. Me niego, y el Partido Republicano se niega, a respaldar ese método de farsa y economía chapucera.

  Calvin Coolidge

• Corrupt influence is itself the perennial spring of all prodigality, and of all disorder; it loads us more than millions of debt; takes away vigor from our arms, wisdom from our councils, and every shadow of authority and credit from the most venerable parts of our constitution.

• ... the novel, as a living force, if not as a work of art, owes an incalculable debt to what we call, mistakenly, the new psychology, to Freud, in his earlier interpretations, and more truly, I think, to Jung.

• You must, to get through life well, practice industry with economy, never create a debt for anything that is not absolutely necessary, and if you make a promise to pay money at a day certain, be sure to comply with it. If you do not, you lay yourself liable to have your feelings injured and your reputation destroyed with the just imputation of violating your word.

• Parents vary in their sense of what would be suitable repayment for creating, sustaining, and tolerating you all those years, andwhat circumstances would be drastic enough for presenting the voucher. Obviously there is no repayment that would be sufficient . . . but the effort to call in the debt of life is too outrageous to be treated as anything other than a joke.

• However patriarchal the world, at home the child knows that his mother is the source of all power. The hand that rocks the cradlerules his world. . . . The son never forgets that he owes his life to his mother, not just the creation of it but the maintenance of it, and that he owes her a debt he cannot conceivably repay, but which she may call in at any time.

• A real man doesn't have to run from his mother, and may even have to face the reality that no great deed is going to be great enough for him to ransom himself completely, and he may always be in his mother's debt. If he understands that . . . he won't have to feel guilty, and he won't have to please her completely. He can go ahead and be nice to her and let her be part of his life.

• The world is a puzzling place today. All these banks sending us credit cards, with our names on them. Well, we didn't order any credit cards! We don't spend what we don't have. So we just cut them in half and throw them out, just as soon as we open them in the mail. Imagine a bank sending credit cards to two ladies over a hundred years old! What are those folks thinking?

• The debt ceiling debacle is almost a horrible metaphor: It's as if a bomb went off at 800 Pennsylvania Avenue and sent shrapnel flying in every direction. I don't know what these guys think they're doing, but it looks like they're committing political suicide.

• Incluso el estudiante pobre estudia y se le enseña sólo economía política, mientras que esa economía de la vida que es sinónimo de filosofía ni siquiera se profesa sinceramente en nuestras universidades. La consecuencia es que, mientras lee a Adam Smith, Ricardo y Say, endeuda irremediablemente a su padre.

• Se han tomado muchas medidas para intentar orientar el sistema educativo hacia más control, más adoctrinamiento, más formación profesional, imponiendo una deuda, que atrapa a los estudiantes y a los jóvenes en una vida de conformidad... Eso es exactamente lo contrario de [lo que] tradicionalmente surge de la Ilustración. Y hay una lucha constante entre ambos. En las universidades, en las escuelas, ¿se forma para aprobar exámenes o se forma para la investigación creativa?

  Noam Chomsky

• No se nos enseña a temer a nuestros políticos, que pueden degradar nuestra moneda, meternos en la cárcel y enviarnos a la guerra, sino que se nos enseña a temernos los unos a los otros. Nos enseñan a imaginar que los verdaderos depredadores de este mundo no son los que controlan las celdas de las cárceles, las deudas nacionales y las armas nucleares, sino nuestros conciudadanos, que en ausencia de un control brutal ¡seguro que nos destrozarían!
