• In most cases the favorable price performance will be accompanied by a well-defined improvement in the average earnings, in the dividend, and in the balance-sheet position. Thus in the long run the market test and the ordinary business test of a successful equity commitment tend to be largely identical.

• Una caída del precio no tiene ninguna importancia real para el inversor de buena fe a menos que sea muy sustancial, es decir, más de un tercio del coste, o a menos que refleje un deterioro conocido de la posición de la empresa. En un mercado bajista bien definido, muchas acciones ordinarias sólidas se venden temporalmente a precios extraordinariamente bajos. Es posible que el inversor sufra una pérdida sobre el papel del 50% en algunas de sus participaciones, sin ningún indicio convincente de que los valores subyacentes se hayan visto afectados de forma permanente.

• We're living in a Dark Age of macroeconomics. Remember, what defined the Dark Ages wasn’t the fact that they were primitive — the Bronze Age was primitive, too. What made the Dark Ages dark was the fact that so much knowledge had been lost, that so much known to the Greeks and Romans had been forgotten by the barbarian kingdoms that followed.

• Otro defecto de larga data de la política exterior es el grado en que los intereses especiales dictan la forma en que se define y persigue el "interés nacional" en su conjunto.... La importante relación histórica de Estados Unidos con Israel ha llevado a menudo a los responsables de la toma de decisiones en materia de política exterior a remitirse reflexivamente a las valoraciones israelíes sobre la seguridad y a imitar las tácticas israelíes, lo que, como demostró la guerra del Líbano del verano pasado, puede resultar contraproducente.

• The concept of justice I take to be defined, then, by the role of its principles in assigning rights and duties and in defining the appropriate division of social advantages. A conception of justice is an interpretation of this role.

• My work is based on a tradition quite distinct from the Eckersberg tradition, a Nordic line of development that had never been clearly and consistently defined in the literature on art. This line is not a straight one; it has the strangest and most fascinating twists and curves, and includes such artists as Edvard Munch, Ernest Josephson, Hill, Hansen Jacobsen, Johannes Holbek, Jens Lund, and Emile Nolde. Not all of them equally well known.

• Veo a una generación de todas las edades, hombres y mujeres incluidos, despertando a las extraordinarias cualidades que se esconden en su interior. El poder de lograr hazañas notables y vivir una vida excepcional no viene definido por la familia, la educación o la ocupación de una persona; es una disposición del corazón. A menos que se reprima, existe un deseo innato de elevarse por encima de la norma. Te animo a adentrarte en lo desconocido, abrazar el poder divino y vivir tu vida extraordinaria.

• Una ciencia sólo avanza con certeza cuando el plan de investigación y el objeto de nuestras investigaciones han sido claramente definidos; de lo contrario, un pequeño número de verdades se asen a la ligera, sin que se perciba su conexión, y numerosos errores, sin que seamos capaces de detectar su falacia.

• While the romance genre has expanded so much over the years, in an odd way it's also narrowed, with too many people trying to stick stories into tight, well-defined marketing niches. It can, admittedly, be a tricky balancing act, but I believe the key is to be able to step back and take a long hard look at what you do well, what makes your work different from other writers, what feels the most natural to you when you're writing.

• Each state pursues its own interest's, however defined, in ways it judges best. Force is a means of achieving the external ends of states because there exists no consistent, reliable process of reconciling the conflicts of interest that inevitably arise among similar units in a condition of anarchy.

• A human life is defined by its relationship with others: by its duty to its species. In the face of this duty, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are meaningless. What you call individual rights are merely the cultural fantasy of a failed civilization.

• La hipótesis de los vórtices moleculares se define como aquella que supone - que cada átomo de materia consta de un núcleo o punto central envuelto por una atmósfera elástica, que se mantiene en su posición por fuerzas atractivas, y que la elasticidad debida al calor surge de la fuerza centrífuga de esas atmósferas que giran u oscilan alrededor de sus núcleos o puntos centrales.Según esta hipótesis, la cantidad de calor es la vis viva de las revoluciones u oscilaciones moleculares.

• El vuelo artificial puede definirse como aquella forma de aviación en la que un hombre vuela a voluntad en cualquier dirección por medio de un aparato adosado a su cuerpo, cuyo uso requiere habilidad personal. El vuelo artificial por un solo individuo es el comienzo apropiado para todas las especies de vuelo artificial, ya que las condiciones necesarias pueden cumplirse más fácilmente cuando el hombre vuela individualmente.

• The trouble is, SMers are allowing themselves to be defined by what they are not. We think, "Oh, so many people believe that we're all murderers and rapists, and we have to explain that we're not!" Uh so, a slogan for the gay civil rights movement should be "Normal, Non-threatening and Not After Your Children"?

• Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war, the management of finances --all require the coordination of interrelated activities. What these complex undertakings share in common is the task of constructing a statement of actions to be performed, their timing and quantity (called a program or schedule), that, if implemented, would move the system from a given initial status as much as possible towards some defined goal
