• In ancient times, bodily strength and dexterity, being of greater use and importance in war, was also much more esteemed and valued, than at present. ... In short, the different ranks of men are, in a great measure, regulated by riches.

• It hath evermore been the notorious badge of prostituted Strumpets and the lewdest Harlots, to ramble abroad to Plays, to Playhouses; whither no honest, chaste or sober Girls or Women, but only branded Whores and infamous Adulteresses, did usually resort in ancient times.

• In ancient times before the divine sojourn of the Savior took place, even to the saints death was terrible; all wept for the dead as though they perished. But now that the Savior has raised his body, death is no longer terrible; for all who believe in Christ trample on it as it were nothing and choose rather to die than deny their faith in Christ. And that devil that once maliciously exulted in death, now that its pains were loosed, remained the only one truly dead.

• THE PATH IS exceedingly vast. From ancient times to the present day, even the greatest sages were unable to perceive and comprehend the entire truth; the explanation and teachings of masters and saints express only part of the whole. It is not possible for anyone to speak of such things in their entirety. Just head for the light and heat, learn from the gods, and through the virtue of devoted practice of the Art of Peace, become one with the divine.

• En Europa, el motivo de la "pérdida del yo" se ilustra claramente en las danzas de torbellino de las sectas rusas de los molokanis de Armenia: ..... Todos los países ribereños del Mediterráneo en la antigüedad, y también las zonas menos remotas de Asia, parecen haber tenido danzas de torbellino.

• As everyone knows, the ancients before Aristotle did not consider the dream a product of the dreaming mind, but a divine inspiration, and in ancient times the two antagonistic streams, which one finds throughout in the estimates of dream life, were already noticeable. They distinguished between true and valuable dreams, sent to the dreamer to warn him or to foretell the future, and vain, fraudulent, and empty dreams, the object of which was to misguide or lead him to destruction.

• Wherever the title of streets and parks may rest, they have immemorially been held in trust for the use of the public and, time out of mind, have been used for purposes of assembly... and discussing public question. Such use of the streets and public places has, from ancient times, been a part of the privileges, immunities, rights, liberties of citizens. The privilege of a citizen of the United States to use the streets and parks for communication of views on national questions may be regulated in the interest of all... but it must not, in the guise of regulation, be abridged or denied.

• Solitude is not an absence of energy or action, as some believe, but is rather a boon of wild provisions transmitted to us from the soul. In ancient times, purposeful solitude was both palliative and preventative. It was used to heal fatigue and to prevent weariness. It was also used as an oracle, as a way of listening to the inner self to solicit advice and guidance otherwise impossible to hear in the din of daily life.

• ¡Cuántos puede contar entre sus conocidos un hombre de conversación difusa, cuyas vidas han sido señaladas por innumerables escapadas; que nunca cruzan el río sino en una tormenta, o hacen un viaje al campo sin más aventuras que las que les ocurrían a los caballeros andantes de los tiempos antiguos en bosques sin senderos o en castillos encantados! ¿A cuántos debe conocer, para quienes los portentos y los prodigios son cosa de todos los días, y para quienes la naturaleza obra cada hora maravillas invisibles a todos los demás ojos, sólo para proporcionarles temas de conversación?

• Aun aquellos a quienes la Providencia ha asignado mayor fuerza de entendimiento, sólo pueden esperar mejorar una sola ciencia. En cualquier otra parte del saber, deben contentarse con seguir opiniones que no son capaces de examinar; e, incluso en aquello que reclaman como peculiarmente suyo, raramente pueden añadir más que alguna pequeña partícula de conocimiento, al acervo hereditario que les ha sido legado desde tiempos antiguos, el trabajo colectivo de mil intelectos.

• El arte y la poesía no pueden prescindir el uno del otro. Sin embargo, ambas palabras distan mucho de ser sinónimas. Por Arte entiendo la actividad creadora o productora, obrera, de la mente humana. Por Poesía entiendo, no el arte particular que consiste en escribir versos, sino un proceso a la vez más general y más primario: esa intercomunicación entre el ser interior de las cosas y el ser interior del Ser humano que es una especie de adivinación (como se realizaba en la antigüedad; el vates latino era a la vez poeta y adivino). La poesía, en este sentido, es la vida secreta de todas y cada una de las artes.

• Gold and iron at the present day, as in ancient times, are the rulers of the world; and the great events in the world of mineral art are not the discovery of new substances, but of new and rich localities of old ones.

• En las épocas fabulosas de la antigüedad, los nombres de Mercurio, Venus, Marte, Júpiter y Saturno se daban a los planetas por ser los nombres de sus principales héroes y divinidades. En la época actual, más filosófica, sería difícilmente admisible recurrir al mismo método e invocar a Juno, Pallas, Apolo o Minerva para dar nombre a un nuevo cuerpo celeste. . . . . No puedo más que aprovechar esta oportunidad para expresar mi sentido de gratitud, dando el nombre de Georgium Sidus, a una estrella [Urano], que (con todo respeto hacia nosotros) comenzó a brillar por primera vez bajo Su auspicioso reinado.

• In ancient times, people weren't just male or female, but one of three types: male/male, male/female, female/female. In other words, each person was made out of the components of two people. Everyone was happy with this arrangement and never really gave it much a thought. But then God took a knife and cut everybody in half, right down the middle. So after that the world was divided just into male and female, the upshot being that people spend their time running around trying to locate their missing other half.

• How ignorant we are! How ignorant everyone is! We can cut across only a small area of the appallingly expanding fields of knowledge. No human being can know more than a tiny fraction of the whole. It must have been satisfactory in ancient times when one's own land seemed to be the universe; when research studies, pamphlets, books did not issue in endless flow; when laboratories and scientists were not so rapidly pushing back frontiers of knowledge that the process of unlearning the old left you gasping for breath.
