Small Groups Quotes - Page 3

• Si miro las cuestiones realmente importantes en la región [de Oriente Medio], veo Irán, donde existe un fuerte deseo de una sociedad más libre y donde la gente está reprimida por un pequeño grupo de ayatolás. Veo a Siria, donde se percibe un deseo similar del pueblo por ser libre. Estos dos países financian a Hezbolá y a otras organizaciones terroristas y están perjudicando nuestros esfuerzos en Afganistán y han sido extremadamente dañinos en Irak. También veo países grandes e importantes como Egipto y Arabia Saudí.

• Como activista, te encuentras más orientado hacia la acción pública. Pero siempre he intentado utilizar historias de mi propia vida en mis escritos, por ejemplo. Siempre he tenido claro que las historias de las vidas de los demás son nuestros mejores libros de texto. Todos los movimientos de justicia social que conozco han surgido de personas que se sentaban en pequeños grupos, contaban las historias de sus vidas y descubrían que otras personas habían compartido experiencias similares. Así que, si hemos compartido muchas experiencias, probablemente tenga algo que ver con el poder o la política, y si nos unimos y actuamos juntos, podremos cambiar las cosas.

• It is really refreshing to hear a big band that has the ability to execute ensemble passages with swing and precision while retaining a "small group" feel during the solo sections. This kind of "tight, loose" approach is seldom heard in big bands, whether they are professional or not. Now, all the band needs is to hit the road and take the music around the world!

• Our go-to source is no longer dictated by a small group of cable news outlets. We have to expand our view. Sometimes, a story is made and breaks on Twitter. We have to find a way to react to that, to consume and also disseminate the information from Twitter, which is not an easy thing to do.

• We, who think like animals living in small groups, must structure a global world. We believe in universal human rights and believe racism and war are wrong. On the other hand, it is our nature to be cooperative and loving almost exclusively with the members of the group to which we feel we belong.

• I've always been interested in people that you wouldn't see otherwise. If you look back at my books, photographs, and films-and since I'm doing this retrospective I've been forced to look back-the work is always about a small group of people who are somewhat isolated, and who you would never see if I didn't film or photograph them.

• A very small group of powerful people is deciding what's going to happen with your data, and they're using bots to help implement what they want to do. That has nothing to do with democracy. It's all about efficiency. And that's the really scary thing about it.

• In the Small group the individual can know the effects of his actions on his several fellows, and the rules may effectively forbid him to harm them in any manner and even require him to assist them in specific ways. In the Great Society many of the effects of a person's actions on various fellows must be unknown to him. It can, therefore, not be the specific effects in the particular case, but only rules which define kinds of actions prohibited or required, which must serve as guides to the individual.

• You want to stay alive in a zombie swarm? You go alone or in a small group, where everyone is of similar physical condition and weapons training. You never stop, you never hesitate, and you never show any mercy for the people that would slow you down.That is what the military says we should do, and if I ever meet anybody who listens to that particular set of commands, I may shoot them myself just to improve the gene pool. When you can help people stay alive, you help them. We're all we've got.

• Despite the debunking, you have a small group in the last five years that hasn't wanted to vaccinate their children, for instance, for measles. Then, all of sudden, we got an outbreak of measles and kids were starting to die from measles.

• There is something about participating; it is almost my religion. If the world is still here in 100 years, people will know the importance of participating, not just being spectators. Millions of small groups around the world, that don't necessarily all agree with one another, are made up of people who are not just sitting back waiting for someone to do things for them. No one can prove anything, but of course if I didn't believe it had some kind of power, I wouldn't be trying to do it.

• No hay bandas violentas que luchen por territorios de aspirinas. No hay bandas violentas luchando por territorios de whisky o territorios de ordenadores o cualquier otra cosa que sea legal. Sólo hay bandas criminales que luchan por territorios de drogas, juego, prostitución y otros delitos sin víctimas. Convertir en delito una actividad no violenta crea un mercado negro que atrae a delincuentes y bandas, lo que convierte lo que antes era una actividad relativamente inofensiva que afectaba a un pequeño grupo de personas en una epidemia generalizada de consumo de drogas y guerra entre bandas.

• La NASA llama a las cosas nominales en lugar de fenomenales, como realmente son. Así que he renunciado a que vaya a haber un equilibrio y la NASA vaya a hacer ciertas cosas y por fin estemos en un estado de existencia en el que pequeños grupos de individuos puedan hacer cosas extraordinarias, financiados por personas solas.

• All the great enterprises of the world are run by a few smart men: their aides and associates run down by rapid stages to the level of sheer morons. Everyone knows that this is true of government, but we often forget that it is equally true of private undertakings. In the average great bank, or railroad, or other corporation the burden of management lies upon a small group. The rest are ciphers.

• Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth. You can bring in all kinds of education to them that way.

• In thinking back, not having any experience in any other elementary school, there may have been an advantage of being with different age groups to benefit from what they were learning in a more advanced capacity. With a small group like that, there was a lot of one-to-one teaching.

• Como actor joven, hay un grupo muy pequeño de chicos, sólo un puñado. Cuando te haces mayor, de repente, hay un montón de chicos de tu edad que trabajan. Es una experiencia muy diferente cuando estás en la lista corta porque eres joven y sólo hay un número limitado de chicos que pueden hacer el trabajo y, de repente, tienes veinte o treinta años y hay un montón de chicos que pueden hacer tu trabajo.

• I think people are confused about what the Tea Party is. I mean, they were a broad cross-section of Americans who came together concerned about our debt and our spending. And they're interested in constitutional, limited government. And so they're not one group of people. They're thousands of small groups all over the country.

• This famous quote hangs over my desk, as well as the desks of many people with the hubris and optimism to believe they can change the world for the better. It seems implausible, yet time and again history has proven it true. Virtually every major shift in cultural history can trace its origins to the work of a small group, often gathered around an innovative thinker or body of thought.
