• At last a vision has been vouchsafed to us of our life as a whole. We see the bad with the good.... With this vision we approach new affairs. Our duty is to cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to correct the evil without impairing the good, to purify and humanize every process of our common life, without weakening or sentimentalizing it.

• La NRA se está debilitando, pero las fuerzas opositoras son más fuertes. Un miembro del Congreso ha pagado y sigue pagando un precio por votar en contra de la NRA. Pero ahora también paga un precio por votar con la NRA. En muchos distritos, el precio es más alto cuando un miembro vota con la NRA que contra la NRA. La opinión pública está indignada.

• Recognition for a job well done is high on the list of motivating influences for all people; more important in many instances than compensation itself. When someone is promoted, a promotion that everyone could see coming because of an excellent record, the entire department is stimulated. For it is clear, then, that promotions are based on merit. A promotion that seems to come out of the blue, which is always the case when no one knows what the next fellow is doing, causes nothing but resentment and a further weakening of the will to work.

• If you overesteem great men, people become powerless. If you overvalue possessions, people begin to steal. The Master leads by emptying people's minds and filling their cores, by weakening their ambition and toughening their resolve. He helps people lose everything they know, everything they desire, and creates confusion in those who think that they know. Practice not-doing, and everything will fall into place.

  Laozi

• As boom- and bust-prone as high finance always has been and remains, the greatest systemic risk to our economy is not Wall Street. It's the growing federal debt (and weakening dollar) being enacted by those Washington politicians - the ones who want to protect us from Wall Street.

• Mientras estemos centrados en la respiración no alimentamos nuestros patrones mentales, emocionales y físicos. Al volver a la respiración una y otra vez, empezamos a disolver su poder. Desarrollamos un espacio entre la experiencia y nuestra identificación con ella, debilitando así el proceso que crea los hábitos en primer lugar.

• Mientras que las hormigas existen en número justo para el resto del mundo viviente, los humanos nos hemos vuelto demasiado numerosos. Si desapareciéramos hoy, el medio terrestre volvería al fértil equilibrio que existía antes de la explosión demográfica humana. Sólo una docena de especies, entre ellas el piojo del cangrejo y un ácaro que vive en las glándulas sebáceas de nuestra frente, dependen totalmente de nosotros. Pero si las hormigas desaparecieran, decenas de miles de otras especies vegetales y animales perecerían también, simplificando y debilitando los ecosistemas terrestres en casi todas partes.

• After long centuries, agrarian civilization is weakening. Is sufficient attention being devoted to the arrangement and improvement of the life of the country people, whose inferior and at times miserable economic situation provokes the flight to the unhappy crowded conditions of the city outskirts, where neither employment nor housing awaits them?

• Definitivamente, la mayoría de los entrenadores pasan por una etapa en la que ven a un buen jugador y se enamoran de él, les gusta mucho lo que hace, pero cuando lo incorporan a su sistema, ya no es el mismo jugador que era en otro sistema. Tiene algunos puntos fuertes, pero no puedes utilizarlos todos. Si intentas utilizar todos sus puntos fuertes, acabas debilitando a muchos otros jugadores que ya están en tu sistema.

• De los Balcanes a África, de Asia a Oriente Medio, hemos sido testigos del debilitamiento o la ausencia de una gobernanza eficaz que ha conducido a la violación de los derechos humanos y al abandono de principios humanitarios de larga tradición. Necesitamos Estados competentes y responsables para satisfacer las necesidades de "nosotros los pueblos", para quienes se creó la ONU. Y no se servirá plenamente a los pueblos del mundo a menos que la paz, el desarrollo y los derechos humanos, los tres pilares de la ONU, avancen juntos con igual vigor.

• Tessa had lain down beside him and slid her arm beneath his head, and put her head on his chest,listening to the ever-weakening beat of his heart. And in the shadows they'd whispered, reminding each other of the stories only they knew. Of the girl who had hit over the head with a water jug the boy who had come to rescue her, and how he had fallen in love with her in that instant. Of a ballroom and a balcony and the moon sailing like a ship untethered through the sky. Of the flutter of the wings of the clockwork Angel. Of holy water and blood.
