• Hay algo servil en la interpretación del pecado como crimen que infringe la voluntad de Dios y exige un proceso judicial por parte de Dios. El pecado es división, un estado de deficiencia, incompletud, disociación, esclavitud, odio, pero no es desobediencia ni violación formal de la voluntad de Dios.

  Nikolai Berdyaev

• It is when physicians are bogged down by their incomplete technologies, by the innumerable things they are obliged to do in medicine when they lack a clear understanding of disease mechanisms, that the deficiencies of the health-care system are most conspicuous. If I were a policy-maker, interested in saving money for health care over the long haul, I would regard it as an act of high prudence to give high priority to a lot more basic research in biologic science.

• The pre-scientific age, whatever its deficiencies, had at least offered its members the peace of mind that follows from knowing all man-made achievements to be nothing next to the grandeur of the universe. We, more blessed in our gadgetry but less humble in our outlook, have been left... having no more compelling repository of veneration than our brilliant, precise, blinkered and morally troubling fellow human beings.

• Nosotros (los musulmanes) no tenemos derecho, en nuestra miseria actual, a jactarnos de glorias pasadas. Pero debemos darnos cuenta de que fue la negligencia de los musulmanes -y no ninguna deficiencia en las enseñanzas del Islam- lo que causó nuestra decadencia actual.

• Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured.

  Midori Goto

• Indeed taking all the evidence together, it is not too much to say that there is no single historic incident better or more variously supported than the Resurrection of Christ. Nothing but the antecedent assumption that it must be false could have suggested the idea of deficiency in the proof of it.

• Every country possesses, it seems, the sort of cuisine it deserves, which is to say the sort of cuisine it is appreciative enough to want. I used to think that the notoriously bad cooking of the English was an example to the contrary, and that the English cook the way they do because, through sheer technical deficiency, they had not been able to master the art of cooking. I have discovered to my stupefaction that the English cook that way because that is the way they like it.

• El trabajo es honorable. Es una buena terapia para la mayoría de los problemas. Es el antídoto para las preocupaciones. Es el ecualizador para la deficiencia de la dotación nativa. El trabajo hace posible que el promedio se acerque al genio. Lo que nos puede faltar en aptitud, lo podemos compensar en rendimiento. . . .

• Weaknesses and deficiencies . . . play a most important part in all our lives. It is because of them that we need others and others need us. We are not all weak in the same spots, and so we supplement and complete one another, each one making up in himself for the lack in another.

• La identificación con el cargo o el título es muy atractiva, precisamente por eso tantos hombres no son más que el decoro que les otorga la sociedad. En vano se buscaría una personalidad detrás de la cáscara. Debajo se encuentra una criaturita lamentable. Por eso la oficina es tan atractiva: ofrece una compensación fácil para las deficiencias personales.

• The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is its polarization: Us vs. Them - the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you're sensible, you'll listen to us; and if not, to hell with you. This is nonconstructive. It does not get our message across. It condemns us to permanent minority status.
