High Prices Quotes - Page 3

• No podíamos evitar que volaran todas las tuberías de agua ni que arrancaran todos los árboles. No podíamos impedir cada asesinato de un trabajador en un huerto o de una familia en su cama. Pero estaba en nuestra mano fijar un precio alto por nuestra sangre, un precio demasiado alto para que la comunidad árabe, el ejército árabe o los gobiernos árabes pensaran que merecía la pena pagarlo... Estaba en nuestra mano hacer que los gobiernos árabes renunciaran a 'la política de fuerza' hacia Israel convirtiéndola en una demostración de debilidad.

• It's easy to talk about our system not functioning. It's actually functioning exactly the way we've designed it to function by giving so much power to the political parties, which all of our, you know, leading founders - Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison - all said don't create political parties like the ones we have now. We did it, and we're paying a very high price for it.

• It is irrational to charge high prices for socially valuable innovations as this guarantees that they will be underutilized. It is much better to sell them at cost and then to reward the innovator in some other way. This is not always possible, because in some cases the value of an innovation is in the eye of the beholder; it's very difficult to value how much a new Madonna song is worth, for example. But in the case of medicines, green technologies and seeds in agriculture, such an alternative reward mechanism is fairly straightforward.

• We have this highly irrational system of incentivizing innovation for clean and green technologies, where we allow the innovator to have a temporary monopoly and then mark up the price of the product or sell licenses at high prices to those who want to use the kind of product that the innovator has invented. This system is collectively irrational because many people, to avoid the inflated prices of still-patented cleaner and greener technologies, opt for some older technology that is much more polluting.

• Furthermore, the situation in the North Caucasus is rather unstable.

• We've got to temper anything we say with that. On the other hand, you've got to be serious about what you do. And you've got to understand the price you pay for frivolity or just for greed - it's a very high price, especially if you're involved in this sacred material, which is about the human heart and human desire and human tragedy.

• In England, all the English car companies were beginning to circle the drain in a series of well-deserved failures and bankruptcies, earned by making lousy products with very poor production at high prices. So, the government, back in the '70s, nationalized all the British car companies. The result was British Leyland, a name that perhaps doesn't resonate much with you.

• The oil companies are really making a very lucrative amount of profit from the high price of oil. I don't that they're very keen to reduce the price of oil.

• El éxito materialista tiene una explicación muy sencilla. Los que triunfan centran su atención en el éxito, no en su talento. Recuerda estas palabras. Todos sus esfuerzos se centran en el movimiento ascendente y no en la perfección de su habilidad artística. Tampoco permiten que nada ni nadie se interponga en su camino para alcanzar sus objetivos. Esto incluye a sus esposas, familias, amigos e hijos. Están dispuestos a pagar el altísimo precio que exige el éxito.
