• Not to the swift, the race: Not to the strong, the fight: Not to the righteous, perfect grace: Not to the wise, the light. But often faltering feet Come surest to the goal; And they who walk in darkness meet The sunrise of the soul.

• So, the gods don't hand out all their gifts at once, not build and brains and flowing speech to all. One man may fail to impress us with his looks but a god can crown his words with beauty, charm, and men look on with delight when he speaks out. Never faltering, filled with winning self-control, he shines forth at assembly grounds and people gaze at him like a god when he walks through the streets. Another man may look like a deathless one on high but there's not a bit of grace to crown his words. Just like you, my fine, handsome friend.

• Algunos de los recuerdos no eran claros... recuerdos humanos, vistos a través de ojos débiles y oídos débiles: la primera vez que había visto su cara... la sensación que sentí cuando me abrazó en el prado... el sonido de su voz a través de la oscuridad de mi conciencia vacilante cuando me salvó de James... su cara mientras esperaba bajo un dosel de flores para casarse conmigo... cada momento precioso en la isla... sus manos frías tocando a nuestro bebé a través de mi piel.

• Sickness disgusts us with death, and we wish to get well, which is a way of wishing to live. But weakness and suffering, with manifold bodily woes, soon discourage the invalid from trying to regain ground: he tires of those respites which are but snares, of that faltering strength, those ardors cut short, and that perpetual lying in wait for the next attack.

  With faltering speech, and eyes that wildly stare,
  Fierce as the tiger, madder than the seas,
  Desperate and armed with more than human strength.

• La Edad Media fue una época de misticismo, gobernada por la fe ciega y la obediencia ciega al dogma de que la fe es superior a la razón. El Renacimiento fue concretamente el renacimiento de la razón, la liberación de la mente del hombre, el triunfo de la racionalidad sobre el misticismo -un triunfo vacilante, incompleto, pero apasionado, que condujo al nacimiento de la ciencia, del individualismo, de la libertad.

• The American spring is by no means so agreeable as the American autumn; both move with faltering step, and slow; but this lingering pace, which is delicious in autumn, is most tormenting in the spring.

• Los problemas del siglo XX no son muy distintos de los de la adolescencia: un crecimiento rápido que supera la capacidad de gestión de las organizaciones, emociones incontrolables y una búsqueda desesperada de la identidad. Sin embargo, de la adolescencia surge la madurez, en la que el crecimiento físico, con todas las dificultades que conlleva, llega a su fin, pero en la que el crecimiento continúa en el conocimiento, en el espíritu, en la comunidad y en el amor. Esta meta, una vez vista con nuestros ojos, atraerá hacia ella nuestros pies vacilantes.

  It drips its misty light.
