• Most of the time each person is immersed in the details of one special part of the whole and does not think of how what they are doing relates to the larger picture. For example, in education, a teacher might say in the next class he was going to "explain Young's modulus and how to measure it," rather than, "I am going to educate the students and prepare them for their future careers".

  Richard Hamming

• It would be difficult, indeed, to overestimate the transcendent importance of the part the railroad has played in making the Nation what it is to-day. Perhaps it would be within bounds to say that without railroads to bind the States into one homogeneous whole, the Nation never could have attained its present size and importance.

• La astronomía es útil porque nos eleva por encima de nosotros mismos; es útil porque es grandiosa; .... Nos muestra cuán pequeño es el cuerpo del hombre, cuán grande su mente, ya que su inteligencia puede abarcar la totalidad de esta inmensidad deslumbrante, donde su cuerpo es sólo un punto oscuro, y disfrutar de su armonía silenciosa.

• It was so interesting, when [John Coltrane] created A Love Supreme. He had meditated that week. I almost didn't see him downstairs. And it was so quiet! There was no sound, no practice! He was up there meditating, and when he came down he said, "I have a whole new music!" He said, "There is a new recording that I will do, I have it all, everything." And it was so beautiful! He was like Moses coming down from the mountain. And when he recorded it, he knew everything, everything. He said this was the first time that he had all the music in his head at once to record.

• I think the whole question of meaning in music is difficult enough even if you hear me playing live right now in the same room! What I mean and what you take from it may be two quite different things anyway.

• Los poderes del capitalismo financiero tenían un objetivo de largo alcance, nada menos que crear un sistema mundial de control financiero en manos privadas capaz de dominar el sistema político de cada país y la economía del mundo en su conjunto. Este sistema debía ser controlado de forma feudal por los bancos centrales del mundo actuando de forma concertada, mediante acuerdos secretos alcanzados en frecuentes reuniones y conferencias.

• Es natural que el hombre se deje llevar por las ilusiones de la esperanza. Somos propensos a cerrar los ojos ante una verdad dolorosa, y a escuchar el canto de esa sirena hasta que nos transforma en bestias... Por mi parte, cueste lo que cueste la angustia de espíritu, estoy dispuesto a conocer toda la verdad, a saber lo peor, y a preverlo.

  Patrick Henry

• The apologists for space science always seem over-impressed by engineering trivia and make far too much of non-stick frying pans and perfect ball-bearings. To my mind, the outstanding spin-off from space research is not new technology. The real bonus has been that for the first time in human history we have had a chance to look at the Earth from space, and the information gained from seeing from the outside our azure-green planet in all its global beauty has given rise to a whole new set of questions and answers.

• La incertidumbre perjudica a las empresas. Molesta a los particulares. ¿Por qué mantener a todo el país, incluidas las empresas y los particulares, en la incertidumbre sobre el alcance de las cargas fiscales que se nos impondrán? ¿Cuántos de los que votaron a favor de Calvin Coolidge imaginaron por un momento que no se haría nada para conseguir una reducción de impuestos antes de 1926?.... Pero si la Administración persiste en oponerse a una sesión especial, inevitablemente habrá que esperar hasta 1926 para que se tomen medidas.... Coolidge y el Congreso deberían aliviar nuestras mentes y engrasar nuestras actividades reformando y reduciendo los impuestos tan pronto como sea factible después del 4 de marzo.

• The whole procedure [of shooting rockets into space] . . . presents difficulties of so fundamental a nature, that we are forced to dismiss the notion as essentially impracticable, in spite of the author's insistent appeal to put aside prejudice and to recollect the supposed impossibility of heavier-than-air flight before it was actually accomplished. An analogy such as this may be misleading, and we believe it to be so in this case.

• Presidents, leaders, to be effective have to represent the whole to the parts and to the world outside. They may live in the centre but they must not be the centre. To reinforce the common sense they must be a constant teacher, ever travelling, ever talking, ever listening, the chief missionary of the common cause.

  Charles Handy
