Hereditary Quotes - Page 5

• Children will always be afraid of the dark, and men with minds sensitive to hereditary impulse will always tremble at the thought of the hidden and fathomless worlds of strange life which may pulsate in the gulfs beyond the stars, or press hideously upon our own globe in unholy dimensions which only the dead and the moonstruck can glimpse.

• La política siempre ha abarcado dos tipos distintos de problemas: los problemas de rutina administrativa y los que pueden denominarse "cuestiones del momento". Una cuestión del momento es, en efecto, un sustituto de alguna noción, como la idea de Dios, o la monarquía hereditaria, o la gloria nacional, que ha actuado hasta ahora como símbolo de la coordinación humana. No aporta ninguna certeza positiva nueva que sustituya a la certeza desacreditada, sino que es lo que su nombre indica: el planteamiento de una pregunta a la que la certeza antigua ya no responde.

• There is, however, no advantage in reflections on the past further than may be of service to the present. For the future we must provide by maintaining what the present gives us and redoubling our efforts; it is hereditary to us to win virtue as the fruit of labour, and you must not change the habit, even though you should have a slight advantage in wealth and resources; for it is not right that what was won in want should be lost in plenty.

• Possessed, as are all the fair daughters of Eve, of an hereditary propensity, transmitted to them undiminished through succeeding generations, to be 'soonmoved withtheslightesttouch of blame'; very little precept and practice will confirm them in the habit, and instruct them all the maxims, of self-justification.

• La idea de legisladores hereditarios es tan inconsistente como la de jueces hereditarios, o jurados hereditarios; y tan absurda como un matemático hereditario, o un sabio hereditario; y tan ridícula como un poeta laureado hereditario.

• El poder de perpetuar nuestra propiedad en nuestras familias es una de las circunstancias más valiosas e interesantes que le pertenecen, y la que más tiende a la perpetuación de la sociedad misma. Hace que nuestra debilidad esté al servicio de nuestra virtud; injerta benevolencia incluso sobre la avaricia. La posesión de riqueza familiar y de la distinción que acompaña a las posesiones hereditarias (en lo que más concierne a ella), son las seguridades naturales para esta transmisión.

• Considero que una de las excelencias distintivas de las sucesiones electivas sobre las hereditarias es que los talentos que la naturaleza ha proporcionado en proporción suficiente, deben ser seleccionados por la sociedad para el gobierno de sus asuntos, en lugar de que esto se transmita a través de los lomos de bribones y necios que pasan de los libertinajes de la mesa a los de la cama.

• If you simply take the name of Christ upon you and call yourself His servant, yet do not obey Him, but follow your own whim, or your own hereditary prejudice, or the custom of some erroneous church-you are no servant of Christ. If you really are a servant of Christ, your first duty is to obey Him.

• Creo que entiendo el antisemitismo, que es un movimiento muy complejo. Lo veo como judío, pero sin odio ni miedo. Reconozco que lo que es antisemitismo son las bromas groseras, los celos vulgares de métier, los prejuicios hereditarios; pero también lo que puede considerarse de hecho una defensa legítima.

• Los gobiernos, si perduran, siempre tienden cada vez más hacia formas aristocráticas. No se conoce ningún gobierno en la historia que haya eludido este patrón. Y a medida que se desarrolla la aristocracia, el gobierno tiende cada vez más a actuar exclusivamente en interés de la clase dominante, ya sea ésta la realeza hereditaria, los oligarcas de los imperios financieros o la burocracia atrincherada.

• The prince's official job description as king will be 'defender of the faith,' which currently means the state-financed absurdity of the Anglican Church, but he has more than once said publicly that he wants to be anointed as defender of all faiths—another indication of the amazing conceit he has developed in six decades of performing the only job allowed him by the hereditary principle: that of waiting for his mother to expire.

• Not one of your pertinent ancestors was squashed, devoured, drowned, starved, stranded, stuck fast, untimely wounded, or otherwise deflected from its life's quest of delivering a tiny charge of genetic material to the right partner at the right moment in order to perpetuate the only possible sequence of hereditary combinations that could result -- eventually, astoundingly, and all too briefly -- in you.
