Priorities Quotes - Page 6

• It is an assumption that there is always one single dimension for assessing persons and their actions that has canonical priority. This is the dimension of moral evaluation; "good/evil" is supposed always to trump any other form of evaluation, but that is an assumption, probably the result of the long history of the Christianisation and then gradual de-Christianisation of Europe, which one need not make. Evaluation need not mean moral evaluation, but might include assessments of efficiency, ... simplicity, perspicuousness, aesthetic appeal, and so on.

• In America we've spent over a billion dollars on autism research. What have we got for that? We've not seen anything that's appreciably impacted the quality of life of autistic people, regardless of their place on the spectrum. Quite frankly, we've spent $1bn figuring out how to make mice autistic and we'll spend another $1bn figuring out how to make them not autistic. And that's not what the average person wakes up in the morning aspiring to. They think: am I going to be able to find a job, to communicate, to live independently, either on my own or with support? Those are the real priorities.

• I am convinced that attitude is the key to success or failure in almost any of life's endeavors. Your attitude - your perspective, your outlook, how you feel about yourself, how you feel about other people-determines your priorities, your actions, your values. Your attitude determines how you interact with other people and how you interact with yourself.

• Hay una estrecha relación entre una casa llena de posesiones y un corazón lleno de deseos, entre un armario desordenado y una agenda abarrotada, entre no tener dónde poner las posesiones y no tener prioridades para nuestra vida. Son pistas preciosas. Nos recuerdan que debemos ir más despacio, vivir el presente, reducir los deseos que agotan nuestra vitalidad, aclarar las prioridades para poder dedicar nuestro tiempo y atención a lo que más importa. Trágicamente, en el ajetreo de la vida moderna, hemos conseguido dejar atrás una de las verdades más vitales de la vida: a las personas hay que amarlas; las cosas, utilizarlas.

• Mi máxima prioridad en cualquier negociación comercial es ampliar las oportunidades de los estadounidenses trabajadores. No es ningún secreto que los acuerdos comerciales del pasado no siempre han estado a la altura de sus promesas, y por eso solo firmaré un acuerdo que ayude a los estadounidenses de a pie a salir adelante; el proyecto de ley presentado hoy nos ayudará a redactar esas normas de forma que evitemos los errores de nuestro pasado, aprovechemos las oportunidades de nuestro futuro y nos mantengamos fieles a nuestros valores.

• También es doloroso ver que la lucha contra el hambre y la malnutrición se ve obstaculizada por las prioridades del mercado, la primacía del beneficio, que han reducido los alimentos a una mercancía como cualquier otra, sujeta a la especulación, también de carácter financiero, Los hambrientos permanecen, en la esquina de la calle, y piden ser reconocidos como ciudadanos, recibir una alimentación sana. Pedimos dignidad, no caridad.

• By 1990, the EPA had tallied up 32,645 sites of past chemical waste dumping in need of cleanup. Some of these are actual waste landfills, but many are former manufacturing sites where drums full of chemicals have been simply abandoned. The names of the most notorious appear on the EPS's National Priorities List. These are the so-called Superfund sites, names for the super fund of money put together by Congress in 1980 to clean them up. In 2009, the Superfund list contained 1,331 sites.

• One third of all of our cancers are from tobacco. It's one of the big killers in America and more than half of our kids still have environmental tobacco smoke exposure when environmental tobacco smoke is known to be associated with sudden infant death syndrome, with ear infections, respiratory infections and the rest. If we had to pick something to really go after, that would be one that I would really argue is an extraordinarily high priority and something people can actually do something about.

• Steinberg occupies a position that is very dear to those of us who've held it over the years: sports columnist at The Post. If all he wants to do is be popular--and I think Dan is better than that--then the readers of The Washington Post sports section won't be very well served. Telling readers how great they are as sports fans was never one of my priorities. The only thing worse than people who can't stand to hear an unpopular or unflattering opinion is those that are too afraid to state one.

• I think that songwriting is understood from an early age that was the priority to figure out first. Learn to write a good song, and then figure out who you are as an artist because, once you know how to write a good song, you can dress it in any kind of clothing.
