• [W]e must first experience the kingdom if we are even to know what kind of freedom and what kind of equality we should desire. Christian freedom lies in service, Christian equality is equality before God, and neither can be achieved through the coercive efforts of liberal idealists who would transform the world into their image.

• These ceremonies and the National Statuary Hall will teach the youth of the land in succeeding generations as they come and go that the chief end of human effort in a sublunary view should be usefulness to mankind, and that all true fame which should be perpetuated by public pictures, statues, and monuments, is to be acquired only by noble deeds and high achievements and the establishment of a character founded upon the principles of truth, uprightness, and inflexible integrity.

• By that time it was already clear that the next prime minster was going to be Golda Meir, a woman whom I frankly detested - a mutual sentiment, I might add. I knew her as an opinionated, obstinate person, primitive in her outlook, rigid in her attitudes, with a genius for reaching and exploiting the deepest fears and prejudices of the Jewish masses. I was certain that with her as prime minister, all peace efforts would come to a total standstill.

• What Americans were really objecting to had nothing to do with constitutional principles. their objection was not to Parliament's constitutional right to levy certain kinds of taxes as opposed to others, but to its effort to collect any.

• The only kind of marriage liberals had ever glorified is the gay kind. But thanks to Michael Schiavo, the sanctity of marriage is fast becoming a liberal sacrament, with the proviso it has to involve 'mercy killing.' It took Michael Schiavo's devoted efforts to starve and dehydrate his wife to restore liberal faith in the institution.

• Si el objetivo es realizar al Ser Supremo, debes volverte sin ego. Eso requiere esfuerzo propio. El sadhak debe trabajar duro. Debe orar sinceramente por la eliminación de las tendencias negativas. Esta oración no es para lograr algo o para satisfacer cualquier deseo. Es para ir más allá de todos los logros. Es para trascender todos los deseos.

• No hay atajos para llegar a Dios; la sadhana debe realizarse con regularidad y devoción. Es nuestro propio esfuerzo el que nos permitirá experimentar la gracia de Dios que se derrama sobre nosotros todo el tiempo. Por lo tanto, cualquier tiempo libre que tengas, utilízalo para buscar a Dios. Si creas paz en tu propio corazón haciendo sadhana, entonces eso tendrá un efecto positivo en tu familia, tu trabajo y demás. La paz y el amor de Dios desbordarán de tu corazón y animarán a los demás a seguir el camino correcto.

• In my mind, public space travel will precede efforts toward exploration -- be it returning to the moon, going to Mars, visiting asteroids, or whatever seems appropriate. We've got millions and millions of people who want to go into space, who are willing to pay. When you figure in the payload potential of customers, everything changes.

• When speaking of a "body of knowledge" or of "the results of research," e.g., we tacitly assign the same cognitive status to inherited knowledge and to independently acquired knowledge. To counteract this tendency a special effort is required to transform inherited knowledge into genuine knowledge by revitalizing its original discovery, and to discriminate between the genuine and the spurious elements of what claims to be inherited knowledge.

• Looking back at Batman from a distance - after all the hype has dried up and the franchise has at least temporarily been abandoned - it's easy to see the movie for what it is: a moderately diverting motion picture that should have been shorter and better paced. There are a lot of things wrong with Batman, but it still makes for decent entertainment in the fine tradition of the typical low-intelligence summer movie. The best thing that can be said about Batman is that it led to Batman Returns, which was a far superior effort.

• Si la física es demasiado difícil para los físicos, el no físico puede preguntarse si debe intentar comprender sus complejidades y ambigüedades. Es un esfuerzo innegable, pero probablemente merece la pena, porque las cuestiones básicas son importantes y los nuevos resultados experimentales suelen ser fascinantes. Y si el profano se encuentra con serias perplejidades, puede consolarse pensando que los puntos que le desconciertan son más que probablemente aquellos para los que los profesionales no han encontrado respuestas satisfactorias.

• 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

• Industrial production, the flow of resources in the economy, the exertion of military effort in a war theater-all are complexes of numerous interrelated activities. Differences may exist in the goals to be achieved, the particular processes involved, and the magnitude of effort. Nevertheless, it is possible to abstract the underlying essential similarities in the management of these seemingly disparate systems.
