• Thich Nhat Hanh has the ability to express some of the most profound teachings of interdependence and emptiness I've ever heard. With the eloquence of a poet, he holds up a sheet of paper and teaches us that the rain cloud and the tree and the logger who cut the tree down are all there in the paper. He's been one of the most significant carriers of the lamp of the dharma to the West that we have had.

• Dame un cielo azul despejado sobre mi cabeza, y el verde césped bajo mis pies, un camino sinuoso ante mí, y tres horas de marcha hasta la cena... ¡y luego a pensar! ... Empiezo a sentir, a pensar y a ser yo mismo otra vez. En lugar de un silencio torpe, roto por intentos de ingenio o aburridos lugares comunes, el mío es ese silencio imperturbable del corazón que es la única elocuencia perfecta.

• Un mentiroso es un hombre que no sabe engañar, un adulador uno que sólo engaña a los tontos: el que sabe cómo hacer un uso hábil de la verdad, y entiende su elocuencia, sólo puede enorgullecerse de la astucia.

• If children had teachers for judgment and eloquence just as they have for languages, if their memory was exercised less than their energy or their natural genius, if instead of deadening their vivacity of mind we tried to elevate the free scope and impulse of their souls, what might not result from a fine disposition? As it is, we forget that courage, or love of truth and glory are the virtues that matter most in youth; and our one endeavour is to subdue our children's spirits, in order to teach them that dependence and suppleness are the first laws of success in life.

• Let the words of a virgin, though in a good cause, and to as good purpose, be neither violent, many, nor first, nor last; it is less shame for a virgin to be lost in a blushing silence than to be found in a bold eloquence.

• To what or whom does Lizzie Harris direct the imperative title of her startling first book, Stop Wanting? To the reader, the narrator, to desire itself, or to lack? This is a work of complexly, ambiguously layered narratives and identities. The opening poem asserts I want to say what happened / but am suspicious of stories. These lines become an ars poetica for the whole of this painful and exceptional collection in which the unspeakable is stubbornly confronted by a searing eloquence. This is a commanding debut.

• Senator Obama is a gifted and eloquent young man who can do great things for our country in the years ahead. But my friends, eloquence is no substitute for a record - not in these tough times for America. In the Senate he has not reached across party lines to get anything significant done, nor has he been willing to take on powerful interest groups in the Democratic Party.

• Prevalece entre los hombres de letras la opinión de que toda apariencia de ciencia es particularmente odiosa para las mujeres; y que, por lo tanto, quienquiera que desee ser bien recibido en las asambleas femeninas, debe calificarse a sí mismo por un rechazo total de todo lo que es serio, racional o importante; debe considerar el argumento o la crítica como perpetuamente prohibidos; y dedicar toda su atención a las bagatelas, y toda su elocuencia al cumplido.

• The eye speaks with an eloquence and truthfulness surpassing speech. It is the window out of which the winged thoughts often fly unwittingly. It is the tiny magic mirror on whose crystal surface the moods of feeling fitfully play, like the sunlight and shadow on a still stream.

• Quien haya recibido de Dios
  y elocuencia en el habla de Dios
  no debe permanecer en silencio o en secreto
  sino demostrarlo de buen grado.
  Cuando se oye hablar mucho de un gran bien
  entonces, y sólo entonces, florece,
  y cuando ese bien es alabado por el hombre,
  ha extendido sus flores.

• En discurso más dulce; Para la elocuencia el alma, la canción encanta el sentido. Otros aparte se sentaron en una colina retirados, En pensamientos más elevados, y razonaron alto De providencia, presciencia, voluntad, y destino, Fijaron destino, libre albedrío, presciencia absoluta; Y no encontraron fin, en laberintos errantes perdidos.

• Ni los números, ni los poderes, ni la riqueza, ni la erudición, ni la elocuencia, ni ninguna otra cosa prevalecerá, sino la pureza, el vivir la vida, en una palabra, anubhuti, la realización. Que haya una docena de tales almas de león en cada país, leones que hayan roto sus propias ataduras, que hayan tocado el Infinito, cuya alma entera se haya ido a Brahman, que no se preocupen ni por la riqueza ni por el poder ni por la fama, y éstos serán suficientes para sacudir al mundo.
