• Sin is more dangerous than wild bears, more deadly than blazing forest fires. Ask Nebuchadnezzar, who lost his mind because he refused to deal with his pride. Ask Samson, who was reduced to a pathetic shred of a man because he never got control over the lusts of his flesh. Ask Achan and Ananias and Sapphira, who all lost their lives over “small,” secret sins.

• When we realize a constant enemy of the soul abides within us, what diligence and watchfulness we should have! How woeful is the sloth and negligence then of so many who live blind and asleep to this reality of sin. There is an exceeding efficacy nad power in the indwelling sin of believers, for it constantly inclines itself towards evil. We need to be awake, then, if our hearts would know the ways of God. Our enemy is not only upon us, as it was with Samson, but it is also in us.

• The clarity was startling and Samson wondered whether he was imagining these moments. Not that they hadn't happened at all, but that they had been embellished by details from elsewhere, fragments that survived the obliteration of other memories, vagrant data that gravitated and stuck to what was left to remember. But in the end he rejected this idea. The memories were too perfect: take one detail away and they collapsed into disorder.

• The greatest enemy of mankind is his ignorance of the inherent money power in all of us. When the realization of this comes to man, he will like Samson, push down the walls of his prison.

• Sansón se aplastó a sí mismo y a sus enemigos hasta la muerte bajo las ruinas de un edificio. Sólo se le puede excusar aduciendo que el Espíritu del Señor, que obraba milagros a través de él, se lo había ordenado. Pero, aparte de tales hombres exceptuados por el mandato de una ley justa en general o de Dios, la Fuente misma de la justicia, en un caso especial, cualquiera que mate a un ser humano, a sí mismo o a otro, es culpable de asesinato.

• Me parece que gastamos la mayor parte de nuestras energías espirituales tratando de explicar por qué el Dios de Elías, Sansón, David y Pablo parece haber perdido su músculo en nuestra era moderna. ¿Se cansó de realizar heroicidades? ¿Se ha debilitado después de tantos años de dirigir todo este espectáculo universal? ¿Será verdad que Dios ha perdido su fuerza? Tal vez sería más exacto decir que Dios ha perdido a sus hombres.

• Tuve suerte de sobrevivir al accidente de moto porque la moto pasó por debajo del coche. Salí volando unos 6 o 7 metros. No llevaba casco. Me golpeé la cabeza contra el pavimento y me desmayé, me di una conmoción cerebral, me fastidié la pierna izquierda. Tuve suerte de no morir porque no llevaba ninguna prenda protectora. Y recibí una buena paliza. Pero, sí, tal era la naturaleza del día cuando el barbero fue llamado y las cerraduras de Sansón fueron recortadas.

• Mea culpa, mea culpa. El MIT y Wharton y la Universidad de Chicago crearon los instrumentos de ingeniería financiera que, como Sansón y Dalila, cegaron a todos los directores generales. No se daban cuenta del tipo de apalancamiento que estaban haciendo y no entendían cuándo estaban creando realmente un beneficio real o uno ficticio.

• There are other books in a man's library besides Ovid, and after dawdling ever so long at a woman's knee, one day he gets up and is free. We have all been there; we have all had the fever--the strongest and the smallest, from Samson, Hercules, Rinaldo, downward: but it burns out, and you get well.

• In my naïvety, I thought people who were in rock 'n' roll bands were great artists, and it was a huge shock to the system to realise that they weren't, that they didn't even aspire to be, really. Some of them did, maybe, but some of them, like Samson, were very frightened of the idea.
