• If we once admit that our life is here for the purpose of race-improvement, then we question any religion which does not improve the race, or the main force of which evaporates, as it were, directing our best efforts toward the sky.... Improvement in the human race is not accomplished by extracting any number of souls and placing them in heaven, or elsewhere. It must be established on earth, either through achievement in social service, or through better children.

  Charlotte Perkins Gilman

• What time has been wasted during man's destiny in the struggle to decide what man's next world will be like! The keener the effort to find out, the less he knew about the present one he lived in.

• El ataque a Corea fue un absoluto quebrantamiento de la paz y una violación de la Carta de las Naciones Unidas. Con sus acciones en Corea, los líderes comunistas han demostrado su desprecio por los principios morales básicos sobre los que se fundan las Naciones Unidas. Se trata de un desafío directo a los esfuerzos de las naciones libres por construir el tipo de mundo en el que los hombres puedan vivir en libertad y en paz.

• En primer lugar, está claro que nuestros esfuerzos en Corea pueden mellar la voluntad de los comunistas chinos de continuar la lucha. Las fuerzas de las Naciones Unidas han librado una tremenda batalla en Corea y han infligido grandes bajas al enemigo. Nuestras fuerzas son ahora más fuertes que nunca. Estos son hechos que pueden disuadir a los comunistas chinos de continuar su ataque.

• Whenever there is an organized movement to persuade people to believe or do something, whenever an effort is made to "propagate" a creed or set of opinions or convictions or to make people act as we want them to act, the means employed are called propaganda.

• Book writing is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Anyone who decides to write a book must expect to invest a lot of time and effort without any guarantee of success. Books do not write themselves and they do not sell themselves. Authors write and promote their books.

• Si ninguno de tus modelos de conducta te da la respuesta, entonces es el momento de ir a tu interior y preguntarte: "¿Qué me haría feliz?". En otras palabras, déjate guiar por tus sentimientos. Esto no funciona bien si te centras exclusivamente en tus necesidades personales. No hablo de egoísmo ni de interés propio. Cuando pregunto: "¿Qué te hará feliz?", quiero decir: "¿Qué forma de amar a los demás te hace sentir bien? Elige una forma de amar que te haga feliz, y tus esfuerzos serán más un juego que un trabajo.

• Scholars have been arguing for a long time whether the Soviet Union could have been turned into some kind of social democracy. I doubt it myself. I think what Gorbachev didn't quite understand, until it was too late, is that his efforts at change unleashed new, certrifical forces he hadn't counted on. He opened the door a crack and a huge wind blew it open.

• Comedy is immediate. Comedy is a solo mission. You're all by yourself, up there. And when you're in a film, on a set, it's a collaborative effort. It's about me being a tool for somebody else to create a story and a character from nothing, from their imagination.

• There's no "I" on the football field. We have a total commitment to each other when we're out there. There is no doubt. It doesn't matter. The wins and losses of the game don't resonate with us. What resonates with us is "how much effort would you give for the man next to you."

• If I had been literate, I wouldn't have sold drugs. I just wanted a job. I would have worked at McDonald's. And I would have put the same effort into the fries and mopping the floor that I would have put into drugs. I'm the kind of person that always wants to do a job the best I can. I don't believe in half-doing jobs.

• I definitely make an effort to work on different styles of music: not working on too many post-rock bands, or too many heavy bands, or too many folk bands, or just whatever. I have no desire to be known as somebody that just works on a single style of music and would rather avoid it, actually.

• I was used to being disliked as a kid. Not that I didn't deserve it: I was a pretty sad and unappealing creature, and still am, I guess. It's sort of simplistic to think that one tries to make stuff that accounts for one's repulsiveness as a person, but there's some truth to it. So, when I read something unfavorable, I always take it deeply personally. It's as if my efforts have been in vain, and I should just quit.

• A lot of my colleagues just don't really realize that they have to work in order to get the interest of an audience, especially with young kids, especially because it [classical music] is not that popular. You don't see it on TV, you don't hear it on radio, so you really gotta put an effort into promoting classical music.

• El arte es un esfuerzo creador cuyas fuentes se encuentran en el espíritu, y que nos trae a la vez el yo más íntimo del artista y las secretas concurrencias que ha percibido en las cosas por medio de una visión o intuición que le son propias, y que no pueden expresarse en ideas ni en palabras; sólo son expresables en la obra de arte.

  Jacques Maritain

• Adults look upon a child as something empty that is to be filled through their own efforts, as something inert and helpless for which they must do everything, as something lacking an inner guide and in constant need of inner direction. . . . An adult who acts in this way, even though he may be convinced that he is filled with zeal, love, and a spirit of sacrifice on behalf of his child, unconsciously suppresses the development of the child's own personality.

  María Montessori
