• A lo largo de un arroyo que corría y corría
  A través de árboles enmarañados y sobre piedras,
  Que durante mucho tiempo había oído las gaitas de Pan
  Y compartido las alegrías que la naturaleza posee,
  Me encontré con un compañero pescador,
  Que me saludó en tonos alegres.
  . . . .
  Los enemigos piensan que han adivinado lo malo en él
  y parlotean del mal que escudriñan;
  Los amigos que le han visto en sus mejores momentos
  Creen conocer todos sus planes;
  Yo lo conozco mejor que los demás,
  Lo conozco como pescador.

• Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow
  because even today I still arrive.
  Look at me: I arrive in every second
  to be a bud on a spring branch,
  to be a tiny bird whose wings are still fragile,
  learning to sing in my new nest,
  to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower,
  to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone.

  Nhat Hanh

• Every man at time of Death,
  Would fain set forth some saying that may live
  After his death and better humankind;
  For death gives life's last word a power to live,
  And, lie the stone-cut epitaph, remain
  After the vanished voice, and speak to men.

  Alfred Lord Tennyson

• ¡Oh flor desnuda de mis labios, yaces! Espero una cosa desconocida o tal vez, ajena al misterio y tus gritos das, oh labios, los supremos gemidos torturados de una infancia que busca a tientas entre sus ensueños para ordenar al fin sus frías piedras preciosas.

  Stéphane Mallarme

• Ah, sinner, may the Lord quicken thee! But it is a work that makes the Saviour weep. I think when He comes to call some of you from your death in sin, He comes weeping and sighing for you. There is a stone that is to be rolled away--your bad and evil habits--and when that stone is taken away, a still small voice will not do for you; it must be the loud crashing voice, like the voice of the Lord which breaketh the cedars of Lebanon.

• Nosotros los cristianos no creemos que Jesucristo fue el único que resucitó de entre los muertos. Creemos que cada lecho de muerte es una resurrección; que de cada tumba la piedra es removida.

• The best thing is to go from nature's God dawn to nature; and if you once get to nature's God, and believe Him, and love Him, it is surprising how easy it is to hear music in the waves, and songs in the wild whisperings of the winds; to see God everywhere in the stones, in the rocks, in the rippling brooks, and hear Him everywhere, in the lowing of cattle, in the rolling of thunder, and in the fury of tempests. Get Christ first, put Him in the right place, and you will find Him to be the wisdom of God in your own experience.

  Charles Spurgeon

• La falsedad es difícil de mantener. Cuando los materiales de un edificio son bloques sólidos de piedra, basta con una arquitectura muy rudimentaria; pero una estructura de materiales podridos necesita el ajuste más cuidadoso para que se mantenga en pie.

• As the stag which the huntsman has hit flies through bush and brake, over stock and stone, thereby exhausting his strength but not expelling the deadly bullet from his body; so does experience show that they who have troubled consciences run from place to place, but carry with them wherever they go their dangerous wounds.

• All the same, the fundamental truths which govern that art are still unchangeable; just as the principles of mechanics must always govern architecture, whether the building be made of wood, stone, iron or concrete; just as the principles of harmony govern music of whatever kind. It is still necessary, then, to establish the principles of war.

  Ferdinand Foch

• As for me, I delight in the every day Way Among mist-wrapped vines and rocky caves Here in the wilderness I am completely free With my friends, the white clouds, idling forever There are roads, but they do not reach the world Since I am mindless, who can rouse my thoughts On a bed of stone I sit, alone in the night While a round moon climbs up Cold Mountain

• The higher the trail the steeper it grows Ten thousand tiers of dangerous cliffs The stone bridge is slippery with green moss Cloud after cloud keeps flying by Waterfalls hang like ribbons of silk The moon shines down on the bright pool I climb the highest peak once more To wait where the lone crane flies
