• Your honors here may serve you for a time, as it were for an hour, but they will be of no use to you beyond this world. Nobody will have heard a word of your honors in the other life. Your glory, your shame, your ambitions, and all the treasures for which you push hard and sacrifice much will be like wreaths of smoke. For these things, which you mostly seek, and for which you spend your life only tarry with you while you are on this side of the flood.

  Henry Ward Beecher

  Ambition, Sacrifice, Honor

• El amor es el río de la vida en este mundo. No penséis que lo conocéis quienes estáis junto al pequeño riachuelo tintineante, la primera pequeña fuente. No hasta que hayáis atravesado los desfiladeros rocosos, y no hayáis perdido la corriente; no hasta que hayáis atravesado la pradera, y la corriente se haya ensanchado y profundizado hasta que flotas puedan cabalgar en su seno; no hasta que más allá de la pradera hayáis llegado al insondable océano, y hayáis vertido vuestros tesoros en sus profundidades: no hasta entonces podréis saber lo que es el amor.

  Henry Ward Beecher

• It has been said that men carry on a kind of coasting trade with religion. In the voyage of life, they profess to be in search of heaven, but take care not to venture so far in their approximations to it, as entirely to lose sight of the earth; and should their frail vessel be in danger of shipwreck, they will gladly throw their darling vices overboard, as other mariners their treasures, only to fish them up again when the storm is over.

• Golden volumes! richest treasures,
  Objects of delicious pleasures!
  You my eyes rejoicing please,
  You my hand in rapture seize!
  Brilliant wits and musing sages,
  Lights who beam'd through many ages!
  Left to your conscious leaves their story,
  And dared to trust you with their glory;
  And now their hope of fame achiev'd,
  Dear volumes! you have not deceived!

  Isaac D'Israeli

• Being well satisfied that, for a man who thinks himself to be somebody, there is nothing more disgraceful than to hold himself up as honored, not on his own account, but for the sake of his forefathers. Yet hereditary honors are a noble and splendid treasure to descendants.

• An old body when it is loved becomes a sacred treasure; and sex itself must always, it seems to me, come to us as a sacrament and be so used or it is meaningless. The flesh is suffused by the spirit, and it is forgetting this in the act of love-making that creates cynicism and despair.

• El cambio puede ser el viento vital que sopla en la casa de la vida, pero no es una fuerza permanente. Necesitamos cosas permanentes que nos impregnen de paz, así como de progreso: la belleza de la tierra, la época de las semillas y las cosechas, las sonrisas de los enamorados, la alegría de los jóvenes por estar vivos, el orgullo de la artesanía. ¿Por qué, oh, por qué debemos permitirnos olvidar estos tesoros duraderos en una época de ambición consumista, de locura por la velocidad y de bienes acumulados que no nos dejan ninguna posibilidad de vivir? Si no podemos contentarnos con un poco, ninguna riqueza nos satisfará jamás.

  Helen Keller

• La bondad del corazón se muestra en actos
  De paz y bondad. La mano y el corazón
  Son una sola cosa con el bien, como deberías ser.
  ¿Te molestan mis palabras? Entonces atesóralas,
  El dolor superado da paz, como la muerte da el Cielo.
  Todo lo que habla del Cielo habla de paz.

  Philip James Bailey

• All the best things and treasures of this world are not to be produced by each generation for itself; but we are all intended, not to carve our work in snow that will melt, but each and all of us to be continually rolling a great white gathering snow-ball, higher and higher, larger and larger, along the Alps of human power.

  John Ruskin

• We do injury to a child if we bring it up in a narrow Christianity, which prevents it from ever becoming capable of perceiving that there are treasures of purest gold to be found in non-Christian civilizations. Laical education does an even greater injury to children. It covers up those treasures, and those of Christianity as well.

• The child's true constructive energy, a dynamic power, has remained unnoticed for thousands of years. Just as men have trodden the earth, and later tilled its surface, without thought for the immense wealth hidden in its depths, so the men of our day make progress after progress in civilized life, without noticing the treasures that lie hidden in the psychic world of infancy.

• Oh bendita Salud! Tú eres más que todo el oro y los tesoros; tú eres quien ensancha el alma, y abres todas sus facultades para recibir instrucción y saborear la virtud. Quien te tiene, poco más puede desear, y quien es tan desdichado como para desearte, todo lo desea contigo.

• Me encantan las ciudades medievales; no claman por atención; poseen sus almas -sus riquezas- en silencio; formales, corteses, se revelan lentamente, piedra a piedra, jardín a jardín; los tesoros ocultos esperan tranquilamente a ser amados y ceden al vagabundeo introspectivo.

• Oh! to be a child again. My only treasures, bits of shell and stone and glass. To love nothing but maple sugar. To fear nothing but a big dog. To go to sleep without dreading the morrow. To wake up with a shout. Not to have seen a dead face. Not to dread a living one. To be able to believe.

• The past is our treasure. Its works, whether we know them or not, flourish in our lives with whatever strength they had. From it we draw provision for our journey, the collected wisdom whose harvests are all ours to reap and carry with us, though we may never live again in the fields that grew them.
