• A pesar de la cantidad de sufrimiento, dolor, miseria, pena y aflicción que puede haber en la vida, la razón de la existencia es la misma que se tiene para jugar a un juego: interés, competición, actividad y posesión. La verdad de esta afirmación se establece mediante la observación de los elementos de los juegos y su posterior aplicación a la vida misma.

• They'll be days like this" my momma said.
  When you open your hands to catch, and wind up with only blisters and bruises.
  When you try to step out of the phone booth and try to fly , and the very people you want to save, are the ones standing on your cape.
  When your boots will fill with rain, and you'll be up to your knees with disappointment
  And those are the very days you have all the more reason to say "Thank you".

• Lo mejor que puedes dar como líder es una razón para confiar. La gente quiere confiar. Tienen hambre de ella. Pero son selectivas. Sólo se la darán a un motivador, a un comunicador, a un maestro, a una persona de verdad. Alguien que en los buenos y en los malos momentos siempre hace lo correcto.

• Regarding the current Broadway revival of The Music Man, Jay Nordlinger wrote: There will always be those who sniff that the show is "feel good"-but, oh, it feels good to feel good. And the main reason The Music Man feels so good is that it is good-a great American musical.

• You don't expect me to know what to say about a play when I don't know who the author is, do you? . . . If it's by a good author, it's a good play, naturally. That stands to reason.

• El propósito del presente estudio no es, como en otras indagaciones, la obtención de conocimiento, no estamos llevando a cabo esta indagación para saber qué es la virtud, sino para llegar a ser buenos, de lo contrario no habría ninguna ventaja en estudiarla. Por esa razón, se hace necesario examinar el problema de nuestras acciones y preguntarnos cómo han de realizarse. Pues, como hemos dicho, las acciones determinan qué tipo de características se desarrollan.

• All who have lived according to God still live unto God, though they have departed this life. For this reason, God is called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, since He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living

• We ask for what reason our Lord was unwilling to state the time of His coming (cf. Mk. 13:31-32). If we ask it, we shall not find it is owing to ignorance, but to wisdom. For it was not to our advantage to know; in order that we being ignorant of the actual moments of judgment to come, might ever be as it were on guard, and set on the watch-tower of virtue, and so avoid the habits of sin; lest the day of the Lord should come upon us in the midst of our wickedness.

• Todo es posible para el creyente. He visto almas impuras enloquecidas por el amor físico, pero convirtiendo lo que saben de ese amor en motivo de penitencia y transfiriendo esa misma capacidad de amor al Señor. Las he visto dominar el miedo para impulsarse sin tregua hacia el amor de Dios. Por eso, al hablar de aquella casta ramera, el Señor no dice 'porque temía', sino 'porque amaba mucho', fue capaz de expulsar el amor con amor (Lc. 7, 47).

• Our requests are necessary expressly to strengthen our faith, through which alone we can be saved. 'By grace are we saved through faith' (Eph. 2:8). 'O woman, great is your faith' (Mt. 15:28). For this reason the Lord made the woman pray earnestly, in order to awaken her faith and to strengthen it.

• ... we can see both that love for God is begotten from the virtues and that virtues are born of love. For this reason the Lord said at one point in the Gospels, 'He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me' (Jn. 14:21), and at another point, 'He who loves Me will keep My commandments' (cf. Jn. 14:23).

• ...if we know God our knowledge of... everything will be brought to perfection, and, in so far as is possible, the infinite, divine and ineffable dwelling place (cf. Jn. 14:2) will be ours to enjoy. For this is what our sainted teacher said in his famous philosophical aphorism: 'Then we shall know as we are known' (I Cor. 13:12), when we mingle our god-formed mind and divine reason to what is properly its own and the image returns to the archetype for which it now longs.

  Papa Dionisio

• ...the reason for [this age's] anxiety and unrest is because in one direction, 'truth' increases in scope and quantity - via science and technology - while in the other, certainty and confidence steadily decline. Our age is a master in developing truths while being wholly indifferent to certitude. It lacks confidence in the good.

  Soren Kierkegaard

• No one seeing a beautifully elaborated lyre with its harmonious, orderly arrangement, and hearing the lyre's music will fail to form a notion of its craftsman-player, to recur to him in thought though ignorant of him by sight. In this way the creative power, which moves and safeguards its objects, is clear to us, though it be not grasped by the understanding. Anyone who refuses to progress this far in following instinctive proofs must be wanting in judgment. But still, whatever we imagined or figured to ourselves or reason delineated is not the reality of God.

• 'Go to My brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto My Father, and your Father, and to My God, and your God' (Jn. 20:!7). He is our Father by grace through the Spirit of adoption (Rom. 8:15), but His Father by nature on account of His divinity. Similarly, He is our God as the creator of our human nature, but His God by reason of the dispensation whereby He became man. He made these distinctions so that we might understand the difference.

• El dinero es una forma de poder. Pero lo que es más poderoso es la educación financiera. El dinero va y viene, pero si tienes la educación sobre cómo funciona el dinero, ganas poder sobre él y puedes empezar a crear riqueza. La razón por la que el pensamiento positivo por sí solo no funciona es porque la mayoría de la gente fue a la escuela y nunca aprendió cómo funciona el dinero, así que se pasan la vida trabajando por dinero.

• There is another serious thing to which many young men become addicted. This is anger. With the least provocation they explode into tantrums of uncontrolled rage. It is pitiful to see someone so weak. But even worse, they are prone to lose all sense of reason and do things which bring later regret.
