Supervision Quotes - Page 3

• RTE was set up by legislation as an instrument of public policy, and, as such is responsible to the government. The government have overall responsibility for its conduct, and especially the obligation to ensure that its programmes do not offend against the public interest or conflict with national policy as defined in legislation. To this extent the government rejected the view that RTE should be, either generally or in regard to its current affairs programmes, completely independent of government supervision.

• The experience of the past lives little doubt that every economic system must sooner or later rely upon some form of the profit motive to stir individuals and groups to productivity. Substitutes like slavery, police supervision, or ideological enthusiasm prove too unproductive, too expensive, or too transient.

• Se calcula que entre 20 y 50 millones de estadounidenses fuman marihuana de forma habitual, aunque ilegal, sin supervisión médica directa. Sin embargo, a pesar de esta larga historia de consumo y del número extraordinariamente elevado de fumadores sociales, simplemente no hay informes creíbles que sugieran que el consumo de marihuana haya causado una sola muerte. Por el contrario, la aspirina, un medicamento de venta libre de uso común, causa cientos de muertes cada año.

• The administration of private justice between the citizens of the same state, the supervision of agriculture and of other concerns of a similar nature, all those things in short which are proper to be provided for by local legislation, can never be desirable cares of a general jurisdiction . . . the attempt to exercise these powers would be as troublesome as it would be nugatory; and the possession of them, for that reason, would contribute nothing to the dignity, to the importance, or to the splendour of the national government.

• I picked up one of the books and flipped through it. Don't get me wrong, I like reading. But some books should come with warning labels: Caution: contains characters and plots guaranteed to induce sleepiness. Do not attempt to operate heavy machinery after ingesting more than one chapter. Has been known to cause blindness, seizures and a terminal loathing of literature. Should only be taken under the supervision of a highly trained English teacher. Preferably one who grades on the curve.

• In the army we are drilled into execution and then supervision, to make sure everything goes the way you planned it. But there is another thing that we do in the military, that I think perhaps isn't done enough in corporate life: As soon as you have made that decision, you start on the contingency planning. Because there is, as we like to say, a thinking, breathing enemy out there, who is not going to let you do just what you want.

• I was a very quiet child, quite introverted, really. Independent, yes; I didn't need a lot of supervision. Less so than I did when I got older, maybe. But I was a bookish child, not surprisingly. I could sit quite happily in a corner for hours and entertain myself with books.

• La mayoría de nuestros competidores en todo el mundo tienen un sistema educativo nacional y Estados Unidos es la única gran nación del mundo que funciona a partir de consejos escolares locales. Reciben muy poca orientación de los consejos estatales de educación o de la nación. Así que los consejos escolares locales dirigen básicamente lo que sucede y con demasiada frecuencia no están dispuestos a realizar un seguimiento o a llevar a cabo la supervisión del sistema educativo que lo hará competitivo a nivel mundial.

• Every kid has a bug period, I like to say, and I just got so fascinated and I had that experience, that wonderful life of being able to go out on my own without really any supervision at all. I just lucked out that way. I was trusted as a kid.

• It is possible to produce something that is grammatical either by chance or under the supervision of another. To be proficient in grammar, then, one must both produce what is grammatical and produce it grammatically, that is, in accord with knowledge of grammar in oneself.

• Cuando estaba en séptimo, me pillaron robando dinero del vestuario del equipo visitante durante un partido de baloncesto. Así que me enviaron a Los Hermanos. Así llamaban a una escuela parroquial en Goshen, New York. Se suponía que allí tendría una supervisión más estrecha y más "influencia masculina", signifique eso lo que signifique. Pero me echaron por decirle a un par de chicos muy tontos del patio que tenía heroína.

• Ahora el gobierno requisa los registros telefónicos de los ciudadanos y criba sus correos electrónicos. Tacha de traidores a denunciantes como Edward Snowden, a pesar de que han sacado a la luz la corrupción, la ilegalidad y un sinfín de prácticas antidemocráticas de los gobiernos establecidos. La policía puede tomar muestras de ADN de todas las personas detenidas por un delito, independientemente de que se demuestre su culpabilidad o no. Estados Unidos está encarcelando a personas en cifras récord, con más de 2,3 millones de reclusos, mientras que 6 millones de personas en un momento dado [están] bajo supervisión carcelaria, más de las que había en el Gulag de Stalin.

• In the West, when all of these reactors, nuclear reactors, are matters...part of the public domain, there are all kinds of supervision over them. We see that the ecological movement, environmentalist movement, organizes all kinds of demonstrations against these. They lie on railroads, they tie themselves to the gates.

• A decline in supervision is not the entire story. Even in the fifties there were undersupervised children . . . who nevertheless did not become pregnant at thirteen . . . and who did not smoke anything stronger than an occasional Camel or Lucky Strike. . . . It took a combination of unsupervised children and a permissive, highly charged sexual atmosphere and an influx of easily acquired drugs and the wherewithal to buy them to bring about precocious experimentation by young and younger children. This occurred in the mid-seventies.

• Siempre hay quienes están dispuestos a renunciar al autogobierno local y entregar sus asuntos a alguna autoridad nacional a cambio de un pago de dinero del Tesoro Federal. Cada vez que encuentran algún abuso que necesita corrección en su vecindario, en lugar de aplicar el remedio por sí mismos, buscan que un tribunal enviado desde Washington cumpla con sus deberes por ellos, sin tener en cuenta el hecho de que al aceptar tal supervisión están trocando su libertad.

• I spent the first few years of my life in a smallish community in Queens. Back in those early days, kids could roam the streets with relatively little supervision and one place I visited frequently was the local library. This particular branch was little more than a storefront but to me it was an alternative universe where I could explore my interests and receive kind, informative answers to my questions from the wonderful librarians.

• I want everyone to keep the property that he has acquired for himself according to the principle: benefit to the community precedes benefit to the individual. But the state should retain supervision and each property owner should consider himself appointed by the state. It is his duty not to use his property against the interests of others among his own people. This is the crucial matter. The Third Reich will always retain its right to control the owners of property.

• Finally, in our progress toward a resumption of work we require two safeguards against a return of the evils of the old order: there must be a strict supervision of all banking and credits and investments; there must be an end to speculation with other people's money, and there must be provision for an adequate but sound currency.

• Las fiestas navideñas son una época para contar historias, ya sea la de un candelabro que permanece encendido durante más de una semana o la de un bebé que nace en un granero sin la supervisión médica adecuada. Los milagros son como los granos, porque una vez que empiezas a buscarlos encuentras más de los que jamás habías soñado ver, y esta historia navideña presenta cualquier número de milagros, dependiendo de tu punto de vista.

• We expect him to take up a lot of space in his gangly experiments with life, and we teach him, through task, work, game, activity, and experience how to use that space. Above all, we give him mentoring and supervision that respects and teaches his gifts, his visions, even his shadowy inner demons

• Así, estas tres enmiendas a la Constitución [13ª, 14ª y 15ª] fueron ratificadas mientras los diez estados del Sur estaban bajo la ley marcial, y "no tenían ley alguna". Las Leyes de la Fuerza, las cuatro Leyes de Reconstrucción y la Ley de Derechos Civiles fueron todas aprobadas por el Congreso mientras a los estados del Sur no se les permitía celebrar elecciones libres, y todos los votantes estaban bajo la estrecha supervisión de tropas federales. Ni siquiera la Rusia soviética ha escenificado nunca semejantes burlas de los procedimientos electorales.
