• Cuando salgo por la mañana y veo a estos hombres de pie en sus colas y miro sus rostros pellizcados, entonces creo que no sería cristiano, sino un mismísimo demonio, si no sintiera piedad por ellos, si no me volviera, como hizo nuestro Señor hace dos mil años, contra aquellos por quienes hoy este pobre pueblo es saqueado y expuesto.

• If, therefore, there is any one superior in virtue and in the power of performing the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but he must have the capacity for action as well as virtue.

• Ahora bien, si hay algún don de los dioses a los hombres, es razonable que la felicidad sea un don divino, y con toda seguridad el más divino de todos los bienes humanos, en la medida en que es el mejor. Pero esta cuestión sería tal vez más apropiada para otra investigación; la felicidad parece, sin embargo, incluso si no es enviada por Dios, sino que viene como resultado de la virtud y de algún proceso de aprendizaje y entrenamiento, estar entre las cosas más semejantes a Dios; porque lo que es el premio y el fin de la virtud parece ser lo mejor del mundo, y algo semejante a Dios y bendito.

• It must not be supposed that happiness will demand many or great possessions; for self-sufficiency does not depend on excessive abundance, nor does moral conduct, and it is possible to perform noble deeds even without being ruler of land and sea: one can do virtuous acts with quite moderate resources. This may be clearly observed in experience: private citizens do not seem to be less but more given to doing virtuous actions than princes and potentates. It is sufficient then if moderate resources are forthcoming; for a life of virtuous activity will be essentially a happy life.

• Although it may be difficult in theory to know what is just and equal, the practical difficulty of inducing those to forbear who can, if they like, encroach, is far greater, for the weaker are always asking for equality and justice, but the stronger care for none of these things.

• All men, or most men, wish what is noble but choose what is profitable; and while it is noble to render a service not with an eye to receiving one in return, it is profitable to receive one. One ought therefore, if one can, to return the equivalent of services received, and to do so willingly; for one ought not to make a man one's friend if one is unwilling to return his favors.

• Even if you must have regard to wealth, in order to secure leisure, yet it is surely a bad thing that the greatest offices, such as those of kings and generals, should be bought. The law which allows this abuse makes wealth of more account than virtue, and the whole state becomes avaricious.

• La bondad o maldad, justicia o injusticia, de las leyes varía necesariamente con la constitución de los estados. Esto, sin embargo, es claro, que las leyes deben adaptarse a las constituciones. Pero si es así, las verdaderas formas de gobierno tendrán necesariamente leyes justas, y las formas de gobierno pervertidas tendrán leyes injustas.

• Men agree that justice in the abstract is proportion, but they differ in that some think that if they are equal in any respect they are equal absolutely, others that if they are unequal in any respect they should be unequal in all. The only stable principle of government is equality according to proportion, and for every man to enjoy his own.

• En cuanto al adulterio, que se considere vergonzoso, en general, que un hombre o una mujer sean infieles de cualquier modo cuando están casados y se llaman marido y mujer. Si durante el tiempo de la procreación ocurriera algo semejante, que la persona culpable sea castigada con la pérdida de privilegios en proporción a la ofensa.

• If centralism is ultimately to prevail; if our entire system of free Institutions as established by our common ancestors is to be subverted, and an Empire is to be established in their stead; if that is to be the last scene of the great tragic drama now being enacted: then, be assured, that we of the South will be acquitted, not only in our own consciences, but in the judgment of mankind, of all responsibility for so terrible a catastrophe, and from all guilt of so great a crime against humanity.

• La primavera pasó rápidamente, y llegó el verano; y si la aldea había sido hermosa al principio, ahora estaba en el pleno resplandor y exuberancia de su riqueza. Los grandes árboles, que habían parecido encogidos y desnudos en los meses anteriores, habían cobrado ahora una fuerte vida y salud; y extendiendo sus verdes brazos sobre el suelo sediento, convertían los lugares abiertos y desnudos en rincones escogidos, donde había una sombra profunda y agradable desde la que contemplar la amplia perspectiva, impregnada de sol, que se extendía más allá.

• I continue to be amazed by our bodies' ability for self-repair. ... Our bodies want to be healthy, if we would just let them. That's what these new research articles are showing: Even after years of beating yourself up with a horrible diet, your body can reverse the damage, open back up the arteries-even reverse the progression of some cancers. Amazing! So it's never too late to start exercising, never too late to stop smoking and never too late to start eating healthier.
