• Business in a certain sort of men is a mark of understanding, and they are honored for it. Their souls seek repose in agitation, as children do by being rocked in a cradle. They may pronounce themselves as serviceable to their friends as troublesome to themselves. No one distributes his money to others, but every one therein distributes his time and his life. There is nothing of which we are so prodigal as of those two things, of which to be thrifty would be both commendable and useful.

  Michel de Montaigne

• For once you rise to a level of God consciousness you will understand that you are not responsible for any other human soul, and that while it is commendable to wish every soul to live in comfort, each soul must choose - is choosing - its own destiny this instant.

• Aparte de la encomiable determinación de incomodar a Trump y a los miembros de su círculo íntimo (exceptuando, al menos por ahora, a figuras militares selectas), el periodismo sigue siendo más o menos lo que era antes del 8 de noviembre del año pasado: personalidades construidas solo para ser derribadas; modas y novedades descubiertas, celebradas y luego ridiculizadas; historias "extraordinarias" de gente corriente a las que se conceden 15 segundos de fama solo para ser de nuevo relegadas al olvido; todo ello servido con una guarnición de la cuota de sufrimiento, devastación y carnicería de ese día. Éstas siguen siendo las bazas del periodismo.

• La idea del suicidio, por comprensible que sea, no me parece loable. Vivimos para obtener la mayor cantidad posible de desarrollo espiritual y autoconciencia. Mientras la vida sea posible, aunque sólo sea en un grado mínimo, hay que aferrarse a ella para recogerla con el propósito de un desarrollo consciente. Interrumpir la vida antes de tiempo es paralizar un experimento que no hemos puesto en marcha. Nos hemos encontrado en medio de él y debemos llevarlo hasta el final.

• I believe that even 'returning-to-nature' and anti pollution activities, no matter how commendable, are not moving toward a genuine solution if they are carried out solely in reaction to the over development of the present age.

• Anthony: Now lower your dress a little- Roslynn: Anthony! Anthony: This is no time for offended modesty... You're the distraction. Roslynn: Och, well, in that case. Anthony: That's quite low enough, my dear... Roslynn: I was only trying to help, Anthony: Commendable, but we want the chap to ogle you, not bust his breeches.

• Los Libertarios, a los que aprecio bastante, presentan a Harry Browne. Los libertarios son, tal y como afirman, coherentes y de principios: creen en la libertad individual. Por muy encomiables que sean, y a pesar de su fiabilidad como aliados en las luchas por las libertades civiles, puede que notes que los Libertarios a veces demuestran que una coherencia tonta es el duende de las mentes pequeñas, y que hay una diferencia entre lógica y sabiduría.

• Exploring Ecclesiology hace honor a su subtítulo, siendo a la vez vibrantemente evangélico y admirablemente ecuménico; es encomiable por su profundidad, amplitud y erudición. El compromiso comprensivo de Harper y Metzger con la eclesiología católica es estimulante y recíproco. Aprecio especialmente cómo los autores enfatizan y exploran la conexión vital entre eclesiología y escatología, algo muy beneficioso para los lectores que buscan apreciar mejor cómo vivir la Fe en comunidad hoy se relaciona con la esperanza de entrar plenamente en la comunión trinitaria en la vida venidera.

• Many able Gardeners and Husbandmen are yet Ignorant of the Reason of their Calling; as most Artificers are of the Reason of their own Rules that govern their excellent Workmanship. But a Naturalist and Mechanick of this sort is Master of the Reason of both, and might be of the Practice too, if his Industry kept pace with his Speculation; which were every commendable; and without which he cannot be said to be a complete Naturalist or Mechanick.

• Neutrality in things good or evil is both odious and prejudicial; but in matters of an indifferent nature is safe and commendable. Herein taking of parts maketh sides, and breaketh unity. In an unjust cause of separation, he that favoreth both parts may perhaps have least love of either side, but hath most charity in himself.

  Joseph Hall

• Soy de los que creen que nuestra civilización occidental va camino de perecer. Tiene muchas cualidades encomiables, la mayoría de las cuales ha tomado prestadas de la ética cristiana, pero carece del elemento de sabiduría moral que le daría permanencia. Los historiadores del futuro dejarán constancia de que nosotros, los del siglo XX, tuvimos la inteligencia suficiente para crear una gran civilización, pero no la sabiduría moral para preservarla.

• How many does it take to metamorphose wickedness into righteousness? One man must not kill. If he does, it is murder.... But a state or nation may kill as many as they please, and it is not murder. It is just, necessary, commendable, and right. Only get people enough to agree to it, and the butchery of myriads of human beings is perfectly innocent. But how many does it take?

• Books bend space and time. One reason the owners of those aforesaid little rambling, poky secondhand bookshops always seem slightly unearthly is that many of them really are, having strayed into this world after taking a wrong turning in their own bookshops in worlds where it is considered commendable business practice to wear carpet slippers all the time and open your shop only when you feel like it.

• So-called Western Civilization, as practised in half of Europe, some of Asia and a few parts of North America, is better than anything else available. Western civilization not only provides a bit of life, a pinch of liberty and the occasional pursuance of happiness, it's also the only thing that's ever tried to. Our civilization is the first in history to show even the slightest concern for average, undistinguished, none-too-commendable people like us.
