• It is a kind of ego booster, the way Egypt's winning the 1973 war, in the first stages, was an uplift. But I did not find when I spoke to people that the war in Iraq was seen as the major issue in American-Arab relations.

• When others spoke of the fear of war, you spoke of the need for warriors and peace through strength. When others bewailed the failure of big government to provide for the collective good, you spoke of self-reliance, of personal responsibility, of individual pride and integrity. When others preached compromise - when others demanded compromise, you, Ronald Reagan, preached conviction.

  Margaret Thatcher

• La "zarza ardiente" no fue un milagro. Fue una prueba. Dios quería averiguar si Moisés podía prestar atención a algo durante más de unos minutos. Cuando Moisés lo hizo, Dios habló. El truco está en prestar atención a lo que ocurre a tu alrededor el tiempo suficiente para contemplar el milagro sin quedarte dormido. Hay otro mundo, aquí dentro de éste, siempre que prestemos atención.

• Un preso vivió en régimen de aislamiento durante años. No veía ni hablaba con nadie y le servían la comida a través de una abertura en la pared. Un día entró una hormiga en su celda. El hombre la contempló fascinado mientras se arrastraba por la habitación. La sostuvo en la palma de la mano para observarla mejor, le dio un grano o dos y la guardó bajo su taza de hojalata por la noche. Un día se dio cuenta de que había necesitado diez largos años de aislamiento para abrir los ojos a la belleza de una hormiga.

• The day of my departure at length arrived. Clerval spent the last evening with us. He had endeavoured to persuade his father to permit him to accompany me and to become my fellow student, but in vain. His father was a narrow-minded trader, and saw idleness and ruin in the aspirations and ambition of his son. Henry deeply felt the misfortune of being debarred from a liberal education. He said little, but when he spoke I read in his kindling eye and in his animated glance a restrained but firm resolve not to be chained to the miserable details of commerce.

• God did not write a book and send it by messenger to be read at a distance by unaided minds. He spoke a Book and lives in His spoken words, constantly speaking His words and causing the power of them to persist across the years.

• The people of those foreign countries are very, very ignorant. They looked curiously at the costumes we had brought from the wilds of America. They observed that we talked loudly at table sometimes. They noticed that we looked out for expenses and got what we conveniently could out of a franc, and wondered where in the mischief we came from. In Paris they just simply opened their eyes and stared when we spoke to them in French! We never did succeed in making those idiots understand their own language.

• For some strange reason murder has always seemed more respectable than fornication. Few people are shocked when they hear God described as the God of Battles; but what an outcry there would be if anyone spoke of him as the God of Brothels.

• Las hojas no se movían en los árboles, los saltamontes gorjeaban, y el monótono sonido hueco del mar que se elevaba desde abajo, hablaba de la paz, del sueño eterno que nos esperaba. Así debió sonar cuando no había Yalta, ni Oreanda aquí; así suena ahora, y sonará con la misma indiferencia y monotonía cuando todos nosotros ya no estemos. Y en esta constancia, en esta completa indiferencia hacia la vida y la muerte de cada uno de nosotros, se esconde, tal vez, una prenda de nuestra salvación eterna, del incesante movimiento de la vida sobre la tierra, del incesante progreso hacia la perfección.

• Es cierto que, a pesar de ocasionales destellos de elocuencia churchilliana, [el Gral. Douglas MacArthur] solía hablar mal. Era mucho más eficaz en las conversaciones a dos. Pero se equivocan quienes lo tachan de superficial porque su retórica era fustiana.

• La Creación fue dada a los hombres como una ventana limpia a través de la cual la luz de Dios podía brillar en el alma de las personas. El sol y la luna, la noche y el día, la lluvia, el mar, las cosechas, el árbol en flor, todas estas cosas eran transparentes. No hablaban a la gente de sí mismas, sino sólo de Aquel que las había creado. La naturaleza era simbólica. Pero la progresiva degradación de los seres humanos les alejó cada vez más de esta verdad. La naturaleza se volvió opaca.

• A story must be told in such a way that it constitutes help in itself. My grandfather was lame. Once they asked him to tell a story about his teacher. And he related how the holy Baal Shem used to hop and dance while he prayed. My grandfather rose as he spoke, and he was so swept away by his story that he himself began to hop and dance to show how the master had done. From that hour he was cured of his lameness. That's how to tell a story.

• I once spoke to a human geneticist who declared that the notion of intelligence was quite meaningless, so I tried calling him unintelligent. He was annoyed, and it did not appease him when I went on to ask how he came to attach such a clear meaning to the notion of lack of intelligence. We never spoke again.

• La multitud difícilmente creerá en la fuerza excesiva de la educación, y en la diferencia de modestia entre hombres y mujeres, atribuyen eso a la naturaleza, que se debe totalmente a la instrucción temprana: La señorita apenas tiene tres años, pero todos los días se le habla para que esconda la pierna, y se le reprende en serio si la enseña; mientras que al señorito de la misma edad se le ordena que se ponga el abrigo y mee como un hombre.

• I spoke so much about being a manic-depressive. I want to bring everyone back to my earliest memories of this companion of mine. Some people call this companion I have an ailment, or worse a terrible nightmare from which some people cannot awaken. I know that I have nothing to be ashamed of. I have nothing that should garner a stigma.
