• Today we take it for granted that the Bible is in our language. We forget that the Bible used to not be available to the common man.

• La oración, ejercicio básico del espíritu, debe practicarse activamente en nuestra vida privada. El alma desatendida del ser humano debe hacerse lo suficientemente fuerte como para afirmarse una vez más. Porque si el poder de la oración se libera de nuevo y se utiliza en la vida de los hombres y mujeres comunes; si el espíritu declara sus objetivos clara y audazmente, todavía hay esperanza de que nuestras oraciones por un mundo mejor sean escuchadas.

• The great goal of the backlash is to nurture a cultural class war, and the first step in doing so, as we have seen, is to deny the economic basis of social class. After all, you can hardly deride liberals as society's "elite" or present the GOP as the party of the common man if you acknowledge the existence of the corporate world - the power that creates the nation's real elite, that dominates its real class system, and that wields the Republican Party as its personal political sidearm.
