• Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood; it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.

• Paul was Nero's prisoner, but Nero was much more God's... But how does the great apostle spend his time in prison?... We read of no dispatches sent to court to procure his liberty; but many to the churches, to help them to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ had made them free... The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

• I remember when I was in the prisoner camp, I was a French prisoner. And I saw the first photograph from the concentration camps, and we discussed it with other prisoners. And our feeling was we did not only lose the war, we lost also our honor.

• Me curé de la timidez cuando por fin me di cuenta de que la gente no pensaba en mí ni la mitad de lo que yo creía. La verdad era que no le importaba a nadie. Como la mayoría de los adolescentes, era demasiado egocéntrico. Cuando dejé de ser prisionera de lo que me preocupaba era la opinión de los demás sobre mí, me volví más segura y libre.

• The requests started coming in from other prisoners all over the United States. And then the word got around. So I always wanted to record that, you know, to record a show because of the reaction I got. It was far and above anything I had ever had in my life, the complete explosion of noise and reaction that they gave me with every song. So then I came back the next year and played the prison again, the New Year's Day show, came back again a third year and did the show.

• We went down [Folsom Prison] and there's a rodeo at all these shows that the prisoners have there. And in between the rodeo things, they asked me to set up and do two or three songs. So that was what I did. I did "Folsom Prison Blues," which they thought was their song - you know? - and "I Walk The Line," "Hey Porter," "Cry, Cry, Cry." And then the word got around on the grapevine that Johnny Cash is all right and that you ought to see him.

• En el Upper East Side, las mujeres son prisioneras de la ideología de la maternidad intensiva, según la cual debes enriquecer el bienestar de tu hijo en todas las medidas posibles y en todo momento. Así, cuando tu hijo se sienta a jugar con los Legos, la maternidad intensiva dicta que debes involucrarte con él de alguna manera, elogiándolo, cuestionándolo, convirtiéndolo en una oportunidad de aprendizaje. No basta con decirle: "Haz los deberes". No basta con ayudarle con los deberes. Ve al colegio y aprende cómo hacen las matemáticas, para poder dar clases particulares de matemáticas a tu hijo.

• Las obras de misericordia son lo contrario de las obras de guerra: alimentar a los hambrientos, dar cobijo a los sin techo, cuidar a los enfermos, visitar a los prisioneros. Pero estamos destruyendo cosechas, incendiando pueblos enteros y a sus habitantes. No estamos realizando las obras de misericordia, sino las obras de la guerra.

• I am because the Chinese have agreed - entered into this agreement in 1997. It sets out the circumstances in which the release of a prisoner who is the subject of a transfer may occur in exceptional circumstances. So the Chinese, having agreed to those principles, I'm sure have no objection to them being applied in this particular case.

• [Pope Francis] lo ha hecho no a través de discursos airados, sino con los poderosos símbolos y ejemplos de abrazar a un hombre gravemente deformado, acoger refugiados en el Vaticano, pasear por un barrio de chabolas de Roma, visitar una residencia de ancianos, lavar los pies a los presos el Jueves Santo y acudir a un hospital para recién nacidos.

• En India no hay propaganda contra Pakistán. Durante la guerra hubo un poco, naturalmente, pero incluso durante la guerra fuimos capaces de controlarla. De hecho, los pakistaníes se quedaron asombrados. Había prisioneros en los hospitales del campo que exclamaban: '¿Qué? ¿Es usted un médico hindú y quiere curarme?'.

• When the prisoner is brought down from Death Row he steps from the elevator directly into a "holding" room that adjoins the witness room. There are two cells in this "holding" room, two, in case it's a double execution. They're ordinary cells, just like this one, and the prisoner spends his last night there before his execu­tion in the morning, reading, listening to the radio, playing cards with the guards.

• The word 'charismatic' was made for Fidel Castro. You would have liked him, I would have liked him. Then you had to stop and say, 'Just a minute. This is a man who does not believe in freedom of the press...does not believe in democracy as we know democracy, had political prisoners.'

• Should you encounter the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! Prisoners will not be taken! Whoever falls into your hands is forfeited. Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German.
