• Meditation may require a lifetime to master, but it will have been a lifetime well spent. ... If you want to judge your progress, ask yourself these questions: Am I more loving? Is my judgment sounder? Do I have more energy? Can my mind remain calm under provocation? Am I free from the conditioning of anger, fear, and greed? Spiritual awareness reveals itself as eloquently in character development and selfless action as in mystical states.

• I am struck by the fact that the more slowly trees grow at first, the sounder they are at the core, and I think that the same is true of human beings. We do not wish to see children precocious, making great strides in their early years like sprouts, producing a soft and perishable timber, but better if they expand slowly at first, as if contending with difficulties, and so are solidified and perfected. Such trees continue to expand with nearly equal rapidity to extreme old age.

• I care not for the theoretical symmetry and impregnable logic of your moral code, I care not for the hoary respectability and traditional mysticisms of your theological institutions, I care not for the beauty and solemnity of your rituals and religious ceremonies, I care not even for the reasonableness and unimpeachable fairness of your social ethics,--if it does not turn out better, nobler, truer, men and women,--if it does not add to the world's stock of valuable souls,--if it does not give us a sounder, healthier, more reliable product from this great factory of men--I will have none of it.

• We must recognise the essential underlaying savagery in the animal called man, and return to older and sounder principles of national life and defense. We must realise that man's nature will remain the same so long as he remains man; that civilisation is but a slight coverlet beneath which the dominant beast sleeps lightly and ever ready to awake.

• En mi estado, sobre la base de la doctrina de separados pero iguales, hemos hecho enormes progresos a lo largo de los años en la educación de ambas razas. Personalmente, creo que habría sido más sensato permitir que ese progreso continuara a través del proceso de evolución natural. Sin embargo, no tiene sentido llorar sobre la leche derramada.

• Nunca hubo una máxima lógica más sólida del procedimiento científico que la navaja de Ockham: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem. Es decir, antes de probar una hipótesis complicada, hay que asegurarse de que ninguna simplificación de la misma explicará los hechos igual de bien.

• The most agreeable thing in life is worthy accomplishment. It is not possible that the idle tramp is as contented as the farmers along the road who own their own farms, and whose credit is good at the bank in town. When the tramps get together at night, they abuse the farmers, but do not get as much satisfaction out of it as do the farmers who abuse the tramps. The sounder your argument, the more satisfaction you get out of it.

  E. W. Howe

• Nunca me he hecho ilusiones sobre el valor de mi contribución individual. Me di cuenta muy pronto de que lo que hace un hombre o una mujer se construye sobre lo que han hecho los que le han precedido, que su valor real depende de que el asunto en cuestión sea un poco más claro, un poco más sólido para los que vengan después. Nadie empieza ni termina nada. Cada persona es un eslabón, débil o fuerte, de una cadena sin fin. Uno de nuestros errores más graves es convencernos de que nadie ha pasado por aquí antes.

• Of course we will continue to work for cheaper electricity in the homes and on the farms of America; for better and cheaper transportation; for low interest rates; for sounder home financing; for better banking; for the regulation of security issues; for reciprocal trade among nations and for the wiping out of slums. And my friends, for all of these we have only begun to fight.
