Vests Quotes - Page 3

• Another thing I take issue with are people who take their dogs on "play dates," or even worse, people who choose to dress their dogs up in outfits better suited for homosexuals participating in a gay pride parade. Dog costumes are right up there with something else I find particularly offensive: sweater vests.

• The Constitution expressly and exclusively vests in the Legislature the power of declaring a state of war [and] the power of raising armies.... A delegation of such powers [to the President] would have struck, not only at the fabric of our Constitution, but at the foundation of all well organized and well checked governments. The separation of the power of declaring war from that of conducting it, is wisely contrived to exclude the danger of its being declared for the sake of its being conducted.

  James Madison

  I got a 12 gauge Mossberg to pump up your chest,

• What do you do?' she asks, holding out the vest. 'What do you do?' 'What do you do?' she asks, her voice shaking. 'Don't ask me, please. Okay, Clay?' 'Why not?' She sits on the mattress after I get up. Muriel screams. 'Because... I don't know,' she sighs. I look at her and don't feel anything and walk out with my vest.

• Always 'duty.' I am sick of the word. They are a lot of old blockheads in flannel vests and of old women with foot-warmers and rosaries who constantly drone into our ears 'Duty, duty!' Ah! by Jove! one's duty is to feel what is great, cherish the beautiful, and not accept all the conventions of society with the ignominy that it imposes upon us.

• Pierre Curie voluntarily exposed his arm to the action of radium for several hours. This resulted in damage resembling a burn that developed progressively and required several months to heal. Henri Becquerel had by accident a similar burn as a result of carrying in his vest pocket a glass tube containing radium salt. He came to tell us of this evil effect of radium, exclaiming in a manner at once delighted and annoyed: "I love it, but I owe it a grudge."

• Las fortunas amasadas a través de la organización corporativa son ahora tan grandes, y confieren tal poder a quienes las manejan, que es una cuestión de necesidad dar al soberano -es decir, al Gobierno, que representa al pueblo en su conjunto- algún poder efectivo de supervisión sobre su uso corporativo. Para asegurar una vida social e industrial saludable, toda gran empresa debe ser considerada responsable y rendir cuentas ante un soberano lo suficientemente fuerte como para controlar su conducta.

• Éramos grandes compañeros [con Rajiv Gandhi]: muy, muy, muy amigos. De hecho, en mi visita a la India como Primer Ministro, fuimos a cenar a su casa. Hay dos aspectos que recuerdo: uno es a él diciendo cómo tenía problemas con su gente de seguridad, porque insistían en que llevara chaleco. Decía que era muy incómodo y que a menudo se lo quitaba, pero, por supuesto, al final, no habría importado si hubiera llevado tres chalecos: se habría ido.

• Forget all the conventional 'rules' but one. There is one golden rule: Stick to topics you deeply care about and don't keep your passion buttoned inside your vest. An audience's biggest turn-on is the speaker's obvious enthusiasm. If you are lukewarm about the issue, forget it!

• El problema es que todo el mundo se preocupa por los chalecos explosivos y la gente con AK-47. Vivimos en una época en la que alguien sentado en Somalia o en Chile o en Perth, Australia, puede estar sentado allí con un ordenador portátil y teóricamente puede derribar una de nuestras redes eléctricas o parte de nuestra infraestructura y hacer infinitamente más daño. Nadie habla de eso. No es una cuestión de quién entra en los Estados Unidos. Eso ya lo hemos superado.

• Difícilmente puedo contemplar una mayor calamidad que pudiera ocurrirle a este país, que estar cargado con una deuda que exceda su capacidad de pagar. Si esta es una observación justa, es imprudente e impropio conferir al gobierno general el poder de pedir prestado a discreción, sin ninguna limitación o restricción.

• Otro editor. Esa cosa detrás de su oreja es su lápiz. Cada vez que encuentra algo brillante en tu manuscrito, lo golpea con él. Eso le hace bien, le hace sonreír y enseñar los dientes, como hace en la foto. Éste acaba de encontrar una cosa inteligente, y ahora está sentado allí con sus pulgares en los agujeros de sus chalecos, regodeándose. Están llenos de envidia y malicia, los editores lo están.
