• Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don't change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.

• Each part of the mind sees only a little of what happens in some others, and that little is swiftly refined, reformulated and "represented." We like to believe that these fragments have meanings in themselves - apart from the great webs of structure from which they emerge - and indeed this illusion is valuable to us qua thinkers - but not to us as psychologists - because it leads us to think that expressible knowledge is the first thing to study.

  Marvin Minsky

• What I do know is that drones are a modern weapon. When used effectively, when taking out ISIS or terrorist leaders, that's pretty impressive. When bombing wedding parties of innocent people and killing dozens of them, that is, needless to say, not effective and enormously counterproductive. So whatever the mechanism, whoever is in control of that policy, it has to be refined so that we are killing the people we want to kill and not innocent collateral damage.

• En la vida civilizada, donde la felicidad, y de hecho casi la existencia, del hombre depende tanto de la opinión de sus semejantes, éste actúa constantemente un papel estudiado. Los rasgos audaces y peculiares del carácter nativo son refinados o suavizados por la influencia niveladora de lo que se denomina buena crianza, y practica tantos pequeños engaños y afecta tantos sentimientos generosos con fines de popularidad que es difícil distinguir su carácter real del artificial.

• There was a beauty here bigger than the hurtling beauty of basketball, a beauty refined from country pastures, a game of solitariness, of waiting, waiting for the pitcher to complete his gaze toward first base and throw his lightning, a game whose very taste, of spit and dust and grass and sweat and leather and sun, was America.

• Sphere Music - Some sounds seem to reverberate along the plain, and then settle to earth again like dust; such are Noise, Discord, Jargon. But such only as spring heavenward, and I may catch from steeples and hilltops in their upward course, which are the more refined parts of the former, are the true sphere music - pure, unmixed music - in which no wail mingles.

• Enlightenment simply means that you've gotten above the body-mind complex. You've refined the self, dissolved it in the white light of eternity and gone through all the gradient shifts.

• Love is the grand motive of the plan of salvation; it is the source of happiness, the ever-renewing spring of healing, the precious fountain of hope. As we extend our hands and hearts toward others in Christlike love, something wonderful happens to us. Our own spirits become healed, more refined, and stronger. We become happier, more peaceful, and more receptive to the whisperings of the Holy Spirit.

  Dieter F. Uchtdorf

• Las abstracciones más refinadas de la lógica conducen a una visión de la vida que, aunque asombrosa a la aprehensión, es, de hecho, la que el sentido habitual de sus repetidas combinaciones ha extinguido en nosotros. Despoja, por así decirlo, la cortina pintada de esta escena de las cosas. Confieso que soy de los que no pueden negar su asentimiento a las conclusiones de aquellos filósofos que afirman que nada existe sino como es percibido.
