Discharge Quotes - Page 2

• Difícilmente puedo contemplar una mayor calamidad que pudiera ocurrirle a este país, que estar cargado con una deuda que exceda su capacidad de pagar. Si esta es una observación justa, es imprudente e impropio conferir al gobierno general el poder de pedir prestado a discreción, sin ninguna limitación o restricción.

• Recuerdo muy bien cómo los pensamientos que tenía hasta el momento de mi salida de la cárcel en cada ocasión se modificaron inmediatamente después del alta, y tras obtener yo mismo información de primera mano. De un modo u otro, el ambiente de la cárcel no te permite tener todas las cosas claras en la cabeza.

• What is hateful is not rebellion but the despotism which induces the rebellion; what is hateful are not rebels but the men, who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; they are the men who, having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitioners that are sent to them; they are the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone.

• I ... express a wish that you may, in your generation, be fit to compare to a candle; that you may, like it, shine as lights to those about you; that, in all your actions, you may justify the beauty of the taper by making your deeds honourable and effectual in the discharge of your duty to your fellow-men.

• To the north of Armenia lies Zorzania Georgia, near the confines of which there is a fountain of oil which discharges so great a quantity as to furnish loading for many camels. The use made of it is not for the purpose of food, but as an unguent for the cure of cutaneous distempers in men and cattle, as well as other complaints, and it is also good for burning. In the surrounding country no other oil is used in their lamps, and people come from distant parts to procure it.

• Recibimos mucho estas preguntas de los jóvenes emprendedores. Es una pregunta muy inteligente: Miras a un viejo que es rico y te preguntas: '¿Cómo puedo llegar a ser como tú, excepto más rápido?'.
  Pasa cada día intentando ser un poco más sabio de lo que eras cuando te despertaste. Cumple tus deberes fielmente y bien. Paso a paso irás avanzando, pero no necesariamente a pasos agigantados. Pero construyes disciplina preparándote para las rachas rápidas... Lucha palmo a palmo, día a día, y al final, si vives lo suficiente, la mayoría de la gente tiene lo que se merece.

• Estoy a favor de un gobierno rigurosamente frugal y sencillo, que aplique todos los ahorros posibles de los ingresos públicos al pago de la deuda nacional; y no a favor de una multiplicación de funcionarios y salarios simplemente para hacer partidarios, y de aumentar, por todos los medios, la deuda pública, sobre el principio de que es una bendición pública.

• Sister Eliza R. Snow was given a charge from the prophet Brigham Young to help lift and teach the sisters of the Church. She “taught that individual women could receive inspiration to guide them in their personal lives, their families, and their Church responsibilities. She said: ‘Tell the sisters to go forth and discharge their duties, in humility and faithfulness and the Spirit of God will rest upon them and they will be blest in their labors. Let them seek for wisdom instead of power and they will have all the power they have wisdom to exercise.’

• Los dioses me dieron un padre que me gobernó y me libró de cualquier rastro de arrogancia y me enseñó que se puede vivir en un palacio sin guardaespaldas, atuendos extravagantes, lámparas de araña, estatuas y otros lujos. Me enseñó que, en cambio, es posible vivir prácticamente como un ciudadano particular sin perder ni un ápice de la dignidad y la autoridad que un gobernante debe poseer para desempeñar eficazmente sus funciones imperiales.

• For no phase of life, whether public or private, whether in business or in the home, whether one is working on what concerns oneself alone or dealing with another, can be without its moral duty; on the discharge of such duties depends all that is morally right, and on their neglect all that is morally wrong in life.

• Another agricultural trend of growing concern is the increased nutrient content of coastal waters resulting from fertilizer runoff in agricultural regions. Augmented by urban sewage discharge in some situations, this results in huge algal blooms, which, as they die and decay, deplete the oxygen content in the water, leading to the death of the fish.

• The Devil would be the best way out as an excuse for God; in that way he would be playing the same part as an agent of economic discharge as the Jew does in the world of the Aryan ideal. But even so, one can hold God responsible for the existence of the Devil just as well as for the existence of the wickedness which the Devil embodies.

• Me encanta la música y los sonidos que desprenden pasión, fuego, una energía con la que puedo conectar. Me encantan los ritmos que suenan con rabia, los sonidos oscuros, pero también me gustan los sonidos delicados, creo que ambos conectan. Discharge en 1980 fue para mí una gran explosión de sonido, de rabia y energía, y sigue siendo una influencia para mí. Miles Davis ha sido una influencia, al igual que John Coltrane, Brian Eno, John Hassel. Todo lo que me rodea me ha influido: mi vida cotidiana, todo lo que me rodea, la familia, etc. .... Tiene un impacto.

• Para que el hombre interior sea fortalecido con poder a través del Espíritu Santo, los hijos de Dios deben cumplir con su responsabilidad.

• No pecuniary consideration is more urgent, than the regular redemption and discharge of the public debt: on none can delay be more injurious, or an economy of time more valuable. ... Cherish public credit. One method of preserving it is to use it as sparingly as possible: avoiding occasions of expence (and) avoiding likewise the accumulation of debt ... not ungenerously throwing upon posterity the burthen which we ourselves ought to bear.

• But credit card debt is unsecured debt, which means if you get in trouble and cannot pay off your credit card, you can discharge it in bankruptcy. What are they going do to you? If you're in a financial position to just methodically pay off both credit card and student loans, pay them all.

• Porque el niño cuya impulsividad se consiente, que conserva sus mecanismos de descarga primitivos, no sólo es un niño maleducado, sino un niño cuyo desarrollo intelectual se ralentiza. No importa lo bien dotado que esté intelectualmente, si la acción directa y la gratificación inmediata son los principios rectores de su comportamiento, habrá menos incentivos para desarrollar los procesos mentales superiores, para razonar, para emplear la imaginación de forma creativa. . . .

• I'm eighty-three and homeless. It was the same when World War II ended. The Army kept me on because I could type, so I was typing other people's discharges and stuff. And my feeling was "Please, I've done everything I was supposed to do. Can I go home now?" That what I feel right now. I've written books. Lots of them. Please, I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Can I go home now? I've wondered where home is. It's when I was in Indianapolis when I was nine years old. Had a dog, a cat, a brother, a sister.

• The woman is the man's glory, and she naturally delights in the praises which are assurances that she is fulfilling her function; and she gives herself to him who succeeds in convincing her that she, of all others, is best able to discharge it for him. A woman without this kind of "vanity" is a monster.
