• Los Obispos de Filipinas han pedido que este año sea el "Año de los Pobres". Espero que esta llamada profética interpele a todos, en todos los niveles de la sociedad, a rechazar toda forma de corrupción que desvíe recursos de los pobres, y a realizar esfuerzos concertados para asegurar la inclusión de cada hombre, mujer y niño en la vida de la comunidad.

• ZANY, n. A popular character in old Italian plays, who imitated with ludicrous incompetence the _buffone_, or clown, and was therefore the ape of an ape; for the clown himself imitated the serious characters of the play. The zany was progenitor to the specialist in humor, as we to-day have the unhappiness to know him. In the zany we see an example of creation; in the humorist, of transmission. Another excellent specimen of the modern zany is the curate, who apes the rector, who apes the bishop, who apes the archbishop, who apes the devil.

• Obey your bishop! "Obey those set over you [Heb 13:17]," the teachers of the Church... I remind you, my dear friends, of what I said when I was with you: do not receive any outside or unknown preacher, unless he be sent by your bishop or preaches with the permission of the pope. For "how shall they preach unless they are sent [Rom 10:15]?"

• La grajilla se sentó en la silla del cardenal. Estaban allí el obispo, el abad y el prior, muchos monjes y frailes, muchos caballeros y escuderos, con muchos otros de menor rango, en suma, una buena compañía; y sirvieron al Señor Primado de rodillas. Nunca, creo, se ha visto un orgullo mayor, leído en libros o soñado en sueños, que el del Cardenal Lord Arzobispo de Reims.

• Commemoration of Brooke Foss Westcott, Bishop of Durham, Teacher, 1901 Be not afraid to pray... to pray is right. Pray if thou canst with hope; but ever pray Though hope be weak, or sick with long delay. Whatever is good to wish, ask that of heaven; But if for any wish thou darest not pray, Then pray to God to cast that wish away.

• Sometimes there was a serious article on a hot topic, and I especially remember one by a bishop headed "Is Nudity Salacious?" The bishop thought it need not be, if encountered in the proper spirit, but he gave a lot of enlightening examples of conditions under which it might be, in his word, "inflammatory." There wasn't much nudity in our neck of the woods, and I enjoyed that article tremendously.

• I have made a solemn vow never to send my drawings because people have cheated me. In particular, just today I found... that, having done a drawing of souls in Purgatory for the Bishop of St. Gata, he, in order to spend less, commissioned another painter to do the painting using my work. If I were a man, I can't imagine it would have turned out this way.

• We cannot know what John of Leyden felt Under the Bishop 's tongs - we can only Walk in temperate London, our educated city, Wishing to cry as freely as they did who died In the Age of Faith. We have our loneliness And our regret with which to build an eschatology.

• Tis from high Life high Characters are drawn; A Saint in Crape is twice a Saint in Lawn: A Judge is just, a Chanc'llor juster still; A Gownman learn'd; a Bishop what you will; Wise if a minister; but if a King, More wise, more learn'd, more just, more ev'rything.

• Del Obispo de Londres hay que observar que, aunque aparentemente de espíritu algo austero, hay en su idiosincrasia un extraño fondo de entusiasmo, cualidad que nunca debería poseer un Arzobispo de Canterbury o un Primer Ministro de Inglaterra. El Obispo de Londres simpatiza con todo lo que es serio; pero lo que es serio no siempre es verdad; por el contrario, el error es a menudo más serio que la verdad.

• La justicia tiene su ira, mi señor Obispo, y la ira de la justicia es un elemento de progreso. Se diga lo que se diga, la Revolución Francesa fue el mayor avance de la humanidad desde la venida de Cristo. Estaba inacabada, estoy de acuerdo, pero aún así fue sublime. Liberó los resortes inexplorados de la sociedad; ablandó los corazones, apaciguó, tranquilizó, iluminó y puso a fluir por el mundo las mareas de la civilización. Fue buena. La Revolución Francesa fue la unción de la humanidad.

• Nadie conocía realmente las ciencias, excepto Lord Robert, obispo de Lincoln, por su larga vida y experiencia, así como por su estudio y celo. Conocía las matemáticas y la perspectiva, y no había nada que no fuera capaz de saber; y al mismo tiempo estaba suficientemente familiarizado con las lenguas como para ser capaz de entender a los santos y a los filósofos y a los sabios de la antigüedad, pero su conocimiento de las lenguas no fue tal que le permitiera realizar traducciones hasta la última parte de su vida.

• Our real calling to be a compassionate Christian came when we stepped out of the waters of baptism… We don’t need a bishop’s assignment to be kind. We don’t need to sign up to be thoughtful. We don’t need to be sustained by our wards to be sensitive.

• If the emperor had capriciously decreed the death of the most eminent and virtuous citizen of the republic, the cruel order would have been executed without hesitation by the ministers of open violence or of specious injustice. The caution, the delay, the difficulty with which he proceeded in the condemnation and punishment of a popular bishop, discovered to the world that the privileges of the church had already revived a sense of order and freedom in the Roman government.
