Thirds Quotes - Page 10

• So that in the nature of man, we find three principal causes of quarrel. First, competition; secondly, diffidence; thirdly, glory. The first maketh men invade for gain; the second, for safety; and the third, for reputation. The first use violence, to make themselves masters of other men's persons, wives, children, and cattle; the second, to defend them; the third, for trifles, as a word, a smile, a different opinion, and any other sign of undervalue, either direct in their persons or by reflection in their kindred, their friends, their nation, their profession, or their name.

• How would you like your child in kindergarten through 12th grade attending classes with kids who can't read, write, speak or understand English -- or American education values? Furthermore, how would you feel if those students felt zero investment in education, in English and the American way? How would you like your child's education dumbed down to that of a classroom from the Third World? Guess what? Today, if you're a parent of a child in thousands of classrooms across America, that's what's happening to your children with your tax dollars.

• The brown toxic cloud strangling Los Angeles never lifts and grows thicker with every immigrant added. One can't help appreciate the streets of Paris will soon become the streets of LA. However, Paris' streets erupted while LA's shall sink into a Third World quagmire much like Bombay or Calcutta, India. When you import that much crime, illiteracy, multiple languages and disease-Americans pick up stakes and move away.

• Finally, a prominent nation is taking on the homosexual agenda and rejecting it outright. A number of African nations have done the same, but third-world countries are not newsworthy to mainstream media. The irony is stunning that a Communist nation would understand that preserving the value of men and women marrying and producing children makes for demographic survival, while many American Christian leaders cower in the shadows, in fear of activist homosexuals and their leftist supporters. I say 'cheers' to the Russians on this one. That nation will probably outlive America.

• I writhe when I see myself on the screen. I'm such a dreadfully clumsy hulking image. I say to myself, "Why doesn't he get off? Why doesn't he get off?" I mean, I look like such an idiot. Some fat awkward thing dredged up from some third-rate drama company. I must stop thinking about it, otherwise I shan't be able to go on working.

• Before MTV, if you put out an album that sold 50,000 copies, your band could afford not to have day jobs for a while. That meant you could stick around, put out another album or two. Maybe it would be the second or third album where you'd make the statement you'd been trying to make all along.

• Dawn Of The Dead is about how we're just a country cannibalizing itself, turning into one shopping mall, and everyone at the mall is just brain-dead, wandering around. Capitalism gone awry, and the worst parts of human nature coming out. All these different things that people read into the films that are all there, very strong anti-Bush sentiments that went into making those films. It's great. I like it when people get it the second or third time, when someone else points it out to them. They don't realize it's been there all along. Those are my favorite movies.

• George Clooney likes to talk about himself in the third person mostly. He's always enjoyed it. Listen, I don't like to think in those terms, where you just have to completely separate yourself one from the other.

• Me encanta Gustavo Dudamel y me encanta lo que hace por la música clásica, y me encanta de donde sale, El Sistema y el viejo Abreu. Cuando estuvimos en Venezuela, tuve la oportunidad de ir a su edificio. Tenía como cinco o seis orquestas de niños del barrio tocando la tercera sinfonía de Mahler, la quinta de Shostakovich y Beethoven. Hombre, es increíble. Quiero decir, podían tocar.

• The moles nested in my cellar, nibbling every third potato, and making a snug bed even there of some hair left after plastering and of brown paper; for even the wildest animals love comfort and warmth as well as man, and they survive the winter only because they are so careful to secure them.

• La guerra fría proporcionó la excusa perfecta a los gobiernos occidentales para saquear y explotar al Tercer Mundo en nombre de la libertad; para amañar sus elecciones, sobornar a sus políticos, nombrar a sus tiranos y, por todos los medios sofisticados de persuasión e interferencia, frenar el surgimiento de jóvenes democracias en nombre de la democracia.

• La inmiseración de la mayoría es parte integrante del paquete del Mundo Libre para el Tercer Mundo, los aspectos desagradables del paquete -el terror, el expolio directo de personas y recursos, y la complicidad occidental- deben racionalizarse y, en la medida de lo posible, mantenerse bajo la alfombra.

• Existe... una enorme conspiración tácita entre el gobierno de Estados Unidos, sus agencias y sus corporaciones multinacionales, por un lado, y las camarillas empresariales y militares locales del Tercer Mundo, por el otro, para asumir el control total de estos países y "desarrollarlos" sobre la base de una empresa conjunta. Los líderes militares del Tercer Mundo fueron cuidadosamente educados por el establishment de seguridad estadounidense para servir como "ejecutores" de esta asociación de empresa conjunta, y han sido debidamente provistos de ametralladoras y de los últimos datos sobre métodos de interrogatorio de subversivos.

• El agua es un individuo, un animal, y está viva, quitad el hidrógeno y es un animal y está vivo; el oxígeno restante es también un individuo, un animal, y está vivo. Recapitulación: los dos individuos combinados constituyen un tercer individuo y, sin embargo, cada uno de ellos sigue siendo un individuo: aquí estaba la Naturaleza muda explicando el sublime misterio de la Trinidad tan luminosamente que incluso el entendimiento más común podía comprenderlo, mientras que muchos maestros entrenados en las palabras se habían esforzado por hacerlo con el habla y habían fracasado.

• The doctrine of foreordination is not a doctrine of repose; instead, it is a doctrine for second- and third-milers, and it will draw out of them the last full measure of devotion. It is a doctrine for the deep believer but it will bring only scorn from the skeptic.

We will be working closely with FEMA, the Interior Department and other federal agencies, with state and local governments and with our nation's businesses.
