Citas de Vexation

• Si enseñas a un joven pobre a afeitarse y a mantener su navaja en orden, puedes contribuir más a la felicidad de su vida que dándole mil guineas. Esta suma puede gastarse pronto, quedando sólo el remordimiento de haberla consumido tontamente; pero en el otro caso, se libra de la frecuente vejación de esperar a los barberos, y de sus dedos a veces sucios, alientos ofensivos y navajas sin filo.

  Benjamin Franklin

• Hasta aquí, me satisface ver que prevalece un espíritu que promete liberar al sistema de las vejaciones y abusos que podrían estar justificados por los términos de la Constitución. Sin embargo, nunca debe olvidarse que las libertades del pueblo no están tan seguras bajo la forma graciosa de gobierno, como por la limitación del poder.

• The suppression of unnecessary offices, of useless establishments and expenses enabled us to discontinue our internal taxes. These covering our land with officers, and opening our doors to their intrusions, had already begun that process of domiciliary vexation which, once entered, is scarcely to be restrained from reaching successively every article of produce and property.

• No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique. If it is to your advantage, make a forward move; if not, stay where you are. Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.

• No; for instead of delivering myself up to the full enjoyment of the as others do, I am always troubling my head about how I could produce the same effect upon canvas; and as that can never be done, it is mere vanity and vexation of spirit.

• Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least. They always continue to grow sufficiently unlike afterwards to have their share of vexation; and it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life.

• The constant reprimands made me hyperconscious of my own performance, and so instead of getting rid of self, I had become embedded in the egoism I was supposed to transcend. Now I was beginning to understand that a silence that is not clamorous with vexation and worried self-regard can become part of the texture of your mind, can seep into you, moment by moment, and gradually change you.

  Karen Armstrong

• Al hombre aficionado a quejarse le gusta permanecer entre los objetos de su vejación. Se rebelará enérgicamente contra todos los medios propuestos para su liberación. Esto es lo que le conviene. No pide nada mejor que suspirar por su posición y permanecer en ella.
