• A father would do well, as his son grows up, and is capable of it, to talk familiarly with him; nay, ask his advice, and consult with him about those things wherein he has any knowledge or understanding. By this, the father will gain two things, both of great moment. The sooner you treat him as a man, the sooner he will begin to be one; and if you admit him into serious discourses sometimes with you, you will insensibly raise his mind above the usual amusements of youth, and those trifling occupations which it is commonly wasted in.

  John Locke

  Growing Up, Father, Son

• In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

• What would a church look like that created space for quietness, that bucked the celebrity trend and unplugged from noisy media, that actively resisted our consumer culture? What would worship look like if we directed it more toward God than toward our own amusement?

• La caridad que empieza en casa no puede descansar allí, sino que arrastra inexorablemente a uno a cruzar el umbral y salir del porche y bajar a la calle y así salir y salir y salir y salir al mundo que se convierte en el hogar donde empieza la caridad hasta que se hace posible, al menos en teoría, amar a toda la creación con la misma paciencia, afecto y diversión que uno practicó primero, entre pucheros y rabietas, con padres, hermanos, cónyuge e hijos.

• The Stoics say, "Retire within yourselves; it is there you will find your rest." And that is not true. Others say, "Go out of yourselves; seek happiness in amusement." And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

• A lot of times, it's easy to trim the movie 'cause you just start losing things that you thought would be there just for amusement's sake that actually are not funny. My favorite part of the process is seeing it with an audience. I do about eight previews to see how things are working.

• The home was a school. Farm and cabin households, though bookless save for the Family Bible and The Sacred Harp, taught the girls to spin, weave, quilt, cook, sew, and mind their manners; the boys to wield gun, ax, hammer and saw, to ride, plow, sow and reap, and to be men. Nobody need ever be bored. Amusement did not have to be bought.

• Tiendo a creer que los ordenadores están alejando a los niños -y a los adultos- de la lectura por el mero hecho de que ofrecen una amplia fuente alternativa de diversión y entretenimiento en el tiempo libre. Hace poco escuché una estadística aterradora: hay menos de un millón de verdaderos lectores en este país (los que leen todos los días en lugar de un libro al año en la playa). Aterrador.

• It is as to whether its services or uses are to be exchanged or not which makes a tool an article of capital or merely an article of wealth. Thus, the lathe of a manufacturer used in making things which are to be exchanged is capital, while the lathe kept by a gentleman for his own amusement is not.

• I believe this thought, of the possibility of death - if calmly realised, and steadily faced would be one of the best possible tests as to our going to any scene of amusement being right or wrong. If the thought of sudden death acquires, for you, a special horror when imagined as happening in a theatre, then be very sure the theatre is harmful for you, however harmless it may be for others; and that you are incurring a deadly peril in going.

• Si la mente está fatigada por el estudio, o el cuerpo desgastado por la enfermedad, es bueno quedarse en barbecho por un tiempo, en la vacuidad de la pura diversión; Pero cuando prosperas en salud, y tu intelecto puede elevarse sin cansancio, Buscar el placer no instructivo es dormir en el sofá de la indolencia.

• La afición a los espectáculos era el gusto, o más bien la pasión, de los sirios: los artistas más hábiles se procuraban en las ciudades vecinas; una parte considerable de los ingresos se dedicaba a las diversiones públicas; y la magnificencia de los juegos del teatro y del circo se consideraba la felicidad y la gloria de Antioquía.

• The valuable library of Alexandria was pillaged or destroyed; and near twenty years afterwards, the appearance of the empty shelves excited the regret and indignation of every spectator whose mind was not totally darkened by religious prejudice. The compositions of ancient genius, so many of which have irretrievably perished, might surely have been excepted from the wreck of idolatry, for the amusement and instruction of succeeding ages.

• It was amusement enough to be with a group of fearless and talkative girls, who said new things in a new language, who were ignorant of tradition and unimpressed by distinctions of rank; but it was soon clear that their young hostesses must be treated with the same respect, if not with the same ceremony as English girls of good family.
