• Again, the glory of one attribute is more seen in one work than in another: in some things there is more of His goodness, in other things more of His wisdom is seen, and in others more of His power. But in the work of redemption all His perfections and excellencies shine forth in their greatest glory.

• When the copulative kai [`and'] connects two nouns of the same case, [viz. nouns (either substantive or adjective, or participles), of personal description, respecting office, dignity, affinity, or connexion, and attributes, properties, or qualities, good or ill], if the article [ho], or any of its cases, precedes the first of the said nouns or participles, and is not repeated before the second noun or participle, the latter always relates to the same person that is expressed or described by the first noun or participle: i.e. it denotes a farther description of the first-named person.

• Nadie en este mundo posee la verdad absoluta. Es atributo exclusivo de Dios. La verdad relativa es todo lo que conocemos. Por lo tanto, sólo podemos seguir la verdad tal como la vemos. Esa búsqueda de la verdad no puede llevar a nadie por mal camino.

• When we retire from the conventions of society and draw close to nature, we involuntarily become children: each attribute acquired by experience falls away from the soul, which becomes anew such as it was once and will surely be again.

• Una empresa es simplemente un grupo de personas. Y como líder de personas, tienes que saber escuchar, ser un gran motivador, ser muy bueno elogiando y buscando lo mejor de las personas. Las personas no son diferentes de las flores. Si riegas las flores, florecen. Si elogias a las personas, florecen. Es un atributo crítico de un líder.

• Sólo el orgullo, la principal de todas las iniquidades, puede hacernos tratar los dones como si fueran atributos legítimos de nuestra naturaleza, y, mientras recibimos beneficios, robar a nuestro Benefactor Su debida gloria.

• ... está claramente expresado para nosotros... qué es lo que debemos atribuir o al libre albedrío o a la decisión y asistencia diaria del Señor. Nos caracterizamos por responder con celo o con displicencia a las bondadosas dispensaciones de Dios. Esta perspectiva se expresa claramente en la curación de los dos ciegos. Jesús pasaba por allí, lo que fue posible gracias a la gracia providente de Dios. Y el logro de su propia fe y creencia fue gritar 'Señor, hijo de David, ten compasión de nosotros' (Mt. 20:31). La recuperación de la vista es un don de la misericordia divina.

• Mary properly bore the name of Virgin, and possessed to the full all the attributes of purity. She was a virgin in both body and soul, and kept all the powers of her soul and her bodily senses far above any defilement. This she did authoritatively, steadfastly, decisively and altogether inviolably at all times, as a closed gate preserves the treasure within, and a sealed book keeps hidden from sight what is written inside. The Scriptures say of her, 'This is the sealed book' (cf. Rev. 5:1-6:1; Dan. 12:4) and 'this gate shall be shut, and no man shall enter by it' (Ezek. 44:2).

• Un atributo clave y definitorio de Dios que no aparece en ninguna otra religión o sistema mundial es el uso bíblico del término "Padre". Sólo en el Nuevo Testamento se describe a Dios como "Padre" de sus hijos más de 70 veces. Ninguna religión importante del mundo describe la relación entre su creador y sus seguidores en términos de un padre.

• Pick three key attributes or features, get those things very, very right, and then forget about everything else… By focusing on only a few core features in the first version, you are forced to find the true essence and value of the product.

• As my friend Jeremy Gilbert-Rolfe has argued persuasively, there is an element of positivity in the visible world, and in color particularly, that totally eludes the historicity of language, with its protocols of absence and polarity. The color red, as an attribute of the world, is always there. It is something other than the absence of yellow and blue--and, thus, when that red becomes less red, it becomes more one or the other. It never exists in a linguistic condition of degradation or excess that must necessarily derive from our expectations.

• If, for instance, they have heard something from the postman, they attribute it to a semi-official statement; if they have fallen into conversation with a stranger at a bar, they can conscientiously describe him as a source that has hitherto proved unimpeachable. It is only when the journalist is reporting a whim of his own, and one to which he attaches minor importance, that he defines it as the opinion of well-informed circles.

• I have tried (I am not sure how successfully) to write plain tales. I dare not say they are simple; there is not a simple page, a simple word, on earth -\-\ for all pages, all words, predicate the universe, whose most notorious attribute is its complexity.

• Freedom is not a constant attribute which we either "have" or "have not." In fact, there is no such thing as "freedom" except as a word and an abstract concept. There is only one reality: the act of freeing ourselves in the process of making choices. In this process the degree of our capacity to make choices varies with each act, with our practice of life.
