• Las posesiones que Dios nos permite tener están destinadas a nuestro uso, no a nuestro disfrute. Tratar de sacarles algo que nunca tuvieron es un esfuerzo inútil. Las ubres de una vaca, presionadas suavemente, producirán leche dulce, nutritiva y refrescante. Aplicar más y más presión no producirá mayores cantidades de leche. Perdemos lo bueno de las cosas materiales por esperar demasiado de ellas. Los que más se esfuerzan por complacerse con los bienes terrenales son los que menos satisfacción encuentran en ellos.

• At the approach of danger two voices speak with equal force in the heart of man: one very reasonably tells the man to consider the nature of the danger and the means of avoiding it and the other, even more reasonable, says that it is too painful and harassing to think of the danger... better to turn aside from the painful subject till it has come, and to think of what is pleasant. In solitude a man generally yields to the first voice; in society to the second.

  Leo Tolstoy

• Tis gold Which buys admittance--oft it doth--yea, and makes Diana's rangers false themselves, yield up This deer to th' stand o' th' stealer: and 'tis gold Which makes the true man kill'd and saves the thief, Nay, sometimes hangs both thief and true man.

• Es la adquisición de habilidades en particular, independientemente de su utilidad, lo que resulta potente para dar sentido a la vida. Puesto que el hombre no tiene habilidades innatas, la supervivencia de la especie ha dependido de la capacidad de adquirir y perfeccionar habilidades. De ahí que el dominio de las habilidades sea una actividad exclusivamente humana y produzca una profunda satisfacción.

• I may have had many projects, but I never was free to carry out any of them. It did me little good to be holding the helm; no matter how strong my hands, the sudden and numerous waves were stronger still, and I was wise enough to yield to them rather than resist them obstinately and make the ship founder. Thus I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances.

• Estamos consumiendo nuestros bosques tres veces más rápido de lo que se reproducen. Algunas de las tierras más ricas en madera de este continente ya han sido destruidas, y no reemplazadas, y otras vastas áreas están al borde de la destrucción. Sin embargo, los bosques, a diferencia de las minas, pueden manejarse de tal modo que rindan los mejores resultados de uso, sin agotarse, al igual que los campos de cereales.

• Where thou perceivest knowledge, bend the ear of attention and respect; But yield not further to the teaching, than as thy mind is warranted by reasons. Better is an obstinant disputant, that yieldeth inch by inch, Than the shallow traitor to himself, who surrendereth to half an argument.
