“Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves. We cast no aspersions on any race or creed, but we must remember that every object of our institutions of society and government will fail unless America be kept American.”

“Restriction of free thought and free speech is the most dangerous of all subversions. It is the one un-American act that could most easily defeat us.”

“Restrooms at gas stations were an unpleasant and shocking surprise; I had never considered the serious drawbacks of such lazily-cleaned rooms. I was completely unable to ignore the filth, and wasted a burst of power to turn the sink, floors and porcelain toilet into sparkling, clean examples of their kind before using the facility. I felt that was a much less judgmental response than simply blowing the place off the face of the Earth, which was also a distinct temptation, especially when the storekeeper overcharged me for a bottle of cold water.”

“Restructuring an organization is a significant undertaking, and its success cannot be assumed merely by the implementation of new charts or policies. To truly confirm that the restructuring has achieved its intended outcomes—namely, enhanced adaptability, efficiency, and resilience—organizations must establish clear, measurable metrics.”

“Restructuring our perception does not mean simply “adding facts” to our worldview but altering the footing on which we make decisions when we see how the world is changing. Making decisions is an act of self-definition and self-creation guided by informed reason, not by blind impulse or deception. ("Final decision")”

“restructuring the organization to embrace more agile and adaptive models is a critical step in building resilience. By moving beyond traditional hierarchies, designing effective information flows, empowering employees, and cultivating a culture of experimentation and learning, organizations can create the foundation for long-term success in a dynamic and unpredictable environment.”

“Resulta manifiesto de las constancias religiosas y de los monumentos sobrevivientes de la poesía y las artes plásticas que, en la mayoría de los tiempos y lugares, los hombres han atribuido más importancia al paisaje interior que a las experiencias objetivas y han atribuido a lo que veían con los ojos cerrados una significación espiritualmente más alta que a lo que veían con los ojos abiertos. ¿La razón? La familiaridad engendra el desdén y el cómo sobrevivir es un problema cuya urgencia va de lo crónicamente tedioso al auténtico tormento. El mundo exterior es aquello a lo que nos despertamos cada mañana de nuestras vidas, es el lugar donde, nos guste o no, tenemos que esforzamos por vivir. En el mundo interior no hay en cambio ni trabajo ni monotonía. Lo visitamos únicamente en sueños o en la meditación, y su maravilla es tal que nunca encontramos el mismo mundo en dos sucesivas ocasiones. ¿Cómo puede extrañar entonces que los seres humanos, en su busca de lo divino, hayan preferido generalmente mirar hacia adentro?”

“Resultava clar que vivint tan bé, a la força ens esperava quelcom terrible. Si no succeïa espontàniament, nosaltres mateix organitzaríem la tragèdia. Com ens arribaria l'infortuni? Malalties, desavinences, guerres, ruïna definitiva? L'espasa de Damocles no amenaça tan sols els tirans: tota la Humanitat viu l'angoixa del Mal que és necessari, sembla, per poder copsar el Bé, és a dir, la salvació eterna.”

“Results about disease risk that largely agree among different studies include those for CHD [Coronary Heart Disease] and perhaps diabetes and colon cancer. In addition, data on other risk factors for chronic diseases, such as overweight, blood lipids, and blood pressure, fit this criterion. Mortality and incidence rates of coronary disease events are indeed clearly lower in vegetarians. This is true in the 2 previous cohorts of Adventists (16, 22) and in the older cohorts of British and German vegetarians (23–25). A combined analysis of those cohorts (26) confirmed this result with a 32% higher CHD mortality rate in the nonvegetarians. This is not surprising because there is convincing evidence that several important risk factors for CHD have more optimal values in vegetarians. Regular, moderate nut (16, 27) and wholegrain (11, 16) consumption are associated with lower risk of CHD. These are foods often preferred by vegetarians. Several other studies of nonvegetarians have strongly suggested that dietary patterns emphasizing fruit, vegetables, and less meat are associated with much lower risk of CHD (10, 28) consistent with the CHD mortality data in studies of vegetarians. Animal fats (largely saturated) raise LDL cholesterol (29) and increase risk; these obviously come from foods eaten less or not at all by vegetarians. Total or LDL cholesterol is typically lower in vegetarians (30, 31). HDL cholesterol is not consistently different (30, 32), although it does tend to be a little lower in Adventists (33), perhaps because of the lack of alcohol consumption. Vegetarians are consistently thinner, or at least less overweight, than are nonvegetarians within the same studies (34, 32). It is also probable that vegetarians have lower blood pressures than others (32, 35, 36), although the reasons are still controversial, and effects are sometimes small as in British vegetarians (37).”

“Results do not matter, in-fact result is a matter itself. What matters is righteous, responsible intentions, perception, decisions, actions, reactions, habits, attitude, behavior, skills and I am constantly, continually working and improving on that. Only this is the secret to successful & happy life.”

“Results for "What are the maintenance requirements of the human being? Life, Liberty, the pursuit of happiness and food, clothing, shelter and medical care. Keeping us confused and divided against one another about these rights, the multinational power elite teaches us in America that only life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are rights. In socialist nations they promote the view that only food, clothing, shelter and medical care are rights.”
