• Si los jóvenes caballeros obtienen de sus años en la universidad sólo hombría, espíritu de cuerpo, una liberación de sus dones sociales, un entrenamiento en dar y recibir, un gusto católico por los hombres y los estándares de los verdaderos deportistas, han ganado mucho, pero no han ganado lo que una universidad debería darles. Debería darles una visión de las cosas de la mente y del espíritu, la conciencia de haber hecho los votos de la verdadera iluminación y de haber pasado por la disciplina, de la que nunca se librarán, de aquellos que buscan la sabiduría con franqueza, con trabajo fiel y esfuerzo de espíritu.

• Diaries tell their little tales with a directness, a candor, conscious or unconscious, a closeness of outlook, which gratifies our sense of security.

Reading assures me that anyone who's ever met me would have reason to shoot me, so I must admit with all candor that I have no idea. Was it you?" "If I'd shot you I wouldn't have missed," she said. "Was that wishful thinking or are you in fact a practiced shot?" "Desire would have made up for lack of expertise.

• The real wonder is that so many difficulties should have been surmounted [in the federal convention], and surmounted with a unanimity almost as unprecedented as it must have been unexpected.

• El nuevo libro de Michelle Alexander, valiente y audaz, pinta un panorama inquietante en el que la triste vestimenta de los delincuentes, el desempleo tras la cárcel y la pérdida del derecho de voto hacen ahora el trabajo estigmatizador que antes hacían las fuentes de agua de color y las escuelas segregadas legalmente. Con una franqueza deslumbrante, Alexander sostiene que todos pagamos el coste del nuevo Jim Crow.

• You and I, we must carry on, Gemma. I cannot afford the luxury of love. I must marry well. And now I must look after you. It is my duty." "If you wish to suffer, you do so of your own free will, not on my behalf. Or Father's or Grandmama's or anyone's. You are a fine physician, Thomas. Why is that not enough?" "Because it isn't," he says with a rare candor. "Only this and the hope of nothing more? A quiet respectability with no true greatness or heroism in it, with only my reputation to recommend me. So you see, Gemma, you are not the only one who cannot rule her own life.

• I think primary voters have a right to know. And Donald's Trump excuse of it that he's being audited, look, that makes it even more important for him to release his taxes, so that voters can see if there is - Mitt Romney suggested there could be a bombshell there. I don't know if there is or not. But Donald is hiding them from the voters, and I think he owes candor to the voters.

• No sé si sería una afirmación demasiado atrevida decir que el candor hace la capacidad.... Pero para probar la verdad de cualquier observación relativa a la mente, el método más fácil es ilustrarla con objetos externos. Si, por ejemplo, un hombre tuviera que sudar y trabajar todos los días de su vida para llenar un cofre que ya está lleno, lo absurdo de su vano esfuerzo sería evidente. De la misma manera, cuando la mente humana está llena y atiborrada de nociones llevadas hasta allí por inclinaciones falaces, no hay lugar para que entre la verdad: desterrado el candor, sólo las pasiones llevan la batuta.
