• I love coaching football, and winning a Super Bowl was a goal I've had for a long time. But it has never been my purpose in life. My purpose in life is simply to glorify God. We have to be careful that we don't let the pursuit of our life's goals, no matter how important they seem, cause us to lose sight of our purpose. I coach football. But the good I can do to glorify God along the way is my real purpose.

• No matter how many times I witness the miracle of someone having their sight restored, I'm still overwhelmed with emotion. When the eye patch comes off just 24 hours after surgery and you see that smile light up the room, you are witnessing a life being transformed.

• We fought a military war; our opponents fought a political one. We sought physical attrition; our opponents aimed for our psychological exhaustion. In the process we lost sight of one of the cardinal maxims of guerrilla war: the guerrilla wins if he does not lose. The conventional army loses if it does not win. The North Vietnamese used their armed forces the way a bull-fighter uses his cape to keep us lunging in areas of marginal political importance.

• Debemos pasar de la indecisión a la acción. Debemos encontrar nuevas formas de hablar en favor de la paz en Vietnam y de la justicia en todo el mundo en desarrollo, un mundo que limita con nuestras puertas. Si no actuamos, seguramente seremos arrastrados por los largos, oscuros y vergonzosos corredores del tiempo reservados a quienes poseen poder sin compasión, poder sin moralidad y fuerza sin vista.

• ¿Es una daga lo que veo ante mí,
  ¿La empuñadura hacia mi mano? Ven, déjame agarrarte.
  No te tengo, y aún así te veo.
  ¿No eres tú, visión fatal, sensible
  al sentimiento como a la vista? ¿O no eres más que
  una daga de la mente, una falsa creación,
  que procede del cerebro oprimido por el calor?

• Though the structures and patterns of mathematics reflect the structure of, and resonate in, the human mind every bit as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human beings have developed no mathematical equivalent to a pair of ears. Mathematics can only be "seen" with the "eyes of the mind". It is as if we had no sense of hearing, so that only someone able to sight read music would be able to appreciate its patterns and harmonies.

• When we seek inspiration to help make decisions, the Lord gives gentle promptings. These require us to think, to exercise faith, to work, to struggle at times and to act. Seldom does the whole answer to a decisively important matter or complex problem come all at once. More often, it comes a piece at a time, without the end in sight.

• The witness of the Holy Ghost is even more compelling than the witness of sight. As members of the Church, we become witnesses of the Savior and the truthfulness of this work not only in word but also in keeping our covenants and in how we treat others and in how we live our everyday lives.

• The soul comes from without into the human body, as into a temporary abode, and it goes out of it anew it passes into other habitations, for the soul is immortal." "It is the secret of the world that all things subsist and do not die, but only retire a little from sight and afterwards return again. Nothing is dead; men feign themselves dead, and endure mock funerals... and there they stand looking out of the window, sound and well, in some strange new disguise.

• Una proporción demasiado grande de la economía "matemática" reciente son meras invenciones, tan imprecisas como los supuestos iniciales en los que se apoyan, que permiten al autor perder de vista las complejidades e interdependencias del mundo real en un laberinto de símbolos pretenciosos y poco útiles.

• What must never be lost sight of is that a public functionary, in his capacity as functionary, produces absolutely nothing; that, on the contrary, he exists only on the products of the industrious class; and that he can consume nothing that has not been taken from the producers.

• En Oriente Medio, donde la población crece rápidamente, el mundo asiste a la primera colisión entre el crecimiento demográfico y el abastecimiento de agua a escala regional. Por primera vez en la historia, la producción de cereales está disminuyendo en una región geográfica sin que haya nada a la vista para frenar el declive. Cada día hay 10.000 personas más que alimentar y menos agua de riego con la que hacerlo.
