• The men and woman who make the best boon companions seem to have given up hope of doing something else...some defect of talent or opportunity has cut them off from their pet ambition and has thus left them with leisure to take an interest in their lives of others.

But the heartbroken people - if I may use the word in a mild, benevolent sense - the people whose wills are subdued to fate, give us consolation, recognition, and welcome.

• Pasas junto a un niño pequeño, pasas, rencoroso, con palabras feas, con corazón iracundo; puede que no te hayas fijado en el niño, pero él te ha visto, y tu imagen, indecorosa e innoble, puede permanecer en su corazón indefenso. Tú no lo sabes, pero puedes haber sembrado en él una semilla maligna y puede crecer, y todo porque no tuviste cuidado ante el niño, porque no fomentaste en ti un amor cuidadoso, activamente benévolo.

  Fyodor Dostoevsky

• There are few places outside his own play where a child can contribute to the world in which he finds himself.

• El deber moral que cabe esperar en las diferentes épocas no es una unidad de norma, o de actos, sino una unidad de tendencia... En un momento dado, los afectos benevolentes abarcan únicamente a la familia; pronto, el círculo se amplía e incluye primero a una clase, luego a una nación, después a una coalición de naciones, más tarde a toda la humanidad y, finalmente, su influencia se deja sentir en el trato del hombre con el mundo animal.
