Expenses Quotes - Page 6

• The people of those foreign countries are very, very ignorant. They looked curiously at the costumes we had brought from the wilds of America. They observed that we talked loudly at table sometimes. They noticed that we looked out for expenses and got what we conveniently could out of a franc, and wondered where in the mischief we came from. In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language.

• Owning a business is NOT about working your ass off for the sake of trying to squeeze out a living.  It is NOT about making tons of money at the expense of losing tons of life.  It IS about maximizing life, bettering your life and the lives of others, which, not so ironically, fattens your purse.

• Oí que el gobernador Romney me llamó un peso ligero en economía porque no era un financiero de Wall Street como él. ¿De verdad cree que este país quiere elegir a un financiero de Wall Street como presidente de los Estados Unidos? ¿Cree que esa es la experiencia que necesitamos? Alguien que va a tomar y cuidar como lo hizo con sus amigos de Wall Street y rescatarlos a expensas de Main Street America.

• The great have private feelings of their own, to which the interests of humanity and justice must curtsy. Their interests are so far from being the same as those of the community, that they are in direct and necessary opposition to them; their power is at the expense of OUR weakness; their riches of OUR poverty; their pride of OUR degradation; their splendour of OUR wretchedness; their tyranny of OUR servitude.

• So far as the object of taxation is to raise a revenue for discharging the debts and defraying the expenses of the community, its operation should be adapted as much as possible to suit the burden with equal hand upon all in proportion with their ability of bearing it without oppression.

• Funeral expenses are the curse of the poor everywhere on earth, they are wasteful and unnecessary, they are the price of foolish ostentation and a display that is less an evidence of grief than a vulgar travesty of those pompous obsequies where no grief is.

• The average mind is slow in grasping a truth, but when the most thoroughly organized, centralized institution, maintained at an excessive national expense, has proven a complete social failure, the dullest must begin to question its right to exist. The time is past when we can be content with our social fabric merely because it is "ordained by divine right," or by the majesty of the law.

• En la lucha por la supremacía, los distintos partidos políticos se superan unos a otros en artimañas, engaños, astucia y maquinaciones turbias, seguros de que el que triunfe será aclamado por la mayoría como el vencedor. Ése es el único dios: el éxito. En cuanto a qué gasto, qué terrible coste para el carácter, no tiene importancia.

• I will never tire of recommending the custom, practiced by the best architects, of preparing not only drawings and sketches, but also models of wood or any other material. These... enable us to examine... the work as a whole... and, before continuing any further, to estimate the likely trouble and expense.

• Las mujeres están esclavizadas; sus ropas son un gran obstáculo para que se dediquen a cualquier negocio que las haga independientes económicamente, y puesto que el alma de la mujer nunca podrá ser reina y noble mientras tenga que mendigar pan para su cuerpo, ¿no es mejor, incluso a costa de una gran cantidad de molestias, que ellas, cuyas vidas merecen respeto y son más grandes que sus ropas, den un ejemplo por el cual la mujer pueda conseguir más fácilmente su propia emancipación?

• Perhaps myself the first, at some expense of popularity, to unfold the true character of Jefferson, it is too late for me to become his apologist. Nor can I have any disposition to do it. I admit that his politics are tinctured with fanaticism, that he is too much in earnest in his democracy, that he has been a mischievous enemy to the principle measures of our past administration, that he is crafty & persevering in his objects, that he is not scrupulous about the means of success, nor very mindful of truth, and that he is a contemptible hypocrite.

• La verdad religiosa está cautiva en un pequeño número de pequeños manuscritos que guardan los tesoros comunes, en vez de expandirlos. Rompamos el sello que ata estas cosas santas; demos alas a la verdad para que vuele con la Palabra, no ya preparada a vastos gastos, sino multitudes eternamente por una máquina que nunca cansa a toda alma que entra en la vida.

• Dios sufre en la multitud de almas a las que su palabra no puede alcanzar. La verdad religiosa está aprisionada en un pequeño número de libros manuscritos, que confinan en vez de difundir el tesoro público. Rompamos el sello que sella las cosas santas y demos alas a la Verdad para que pueda ganar a todas las almas que vienen al mundo con su palabra, no ya escrita a gran costo por manos fácilmente paralizadas, sino multiplicada como el viento por una máquina incansable.

• Selfishness is like a disease that suffocates our capacity to love. While love asks us to deny ourselves for the sake of another, selfishness demands we put ourselves first at their expense. When we choose to be self-centered, we become less kind and content—more needy, sensitive, and demanding. More unsatisfiable. Moodiness and impatience, laziness and irresponsibility, are only selfishness in disguise.

• Avaricia, envidia, pereza, orgullo y gula: ya no son vicios. No, son herramientas de marketing. La lujuria es nuestro modo de vida. La envidia es sólo un empujón hacia otra venta. Incluso en nuestras relaciones nos consumimos mutuamente, cada uno buscando lo que puede sacar del otro. A menudo satisfacemos nuestro apetito a costa de los que nos rodean. En un mundo donde el perro se come al perro, perdemos parte de nuestra humanidad.

• Plan the town, if you like; but in doing it do not forget that you have got to spread the people. Make wider roads, but do not narrow the tenements behind. Dignify the city by all means, but not at the expense of the health of the home and the family life and the comfort of the average workman and citizen.

  Thomas Adams
