• Women deluded by these sentiments, sometimes boast of their weakness, cunningly obtaining power by playing on the weakness of men; and they may well glory in their illicit sway, for, like Turkish bashaws, they have more real power than their masters: but virtue is sacrificed to temporary gratifications, and the respectability of life to the triumph of an hour.

• Enamorarse es muy real, pero yo solía sacudir la cabeza cuando la gente hablaba de almas gemelas, pobres ilusos aferrados a algún ideal sobrenatural no destinado a los mortales pero que sonaba bonito en un libro de poesía. Entonces, nos conocimos, y todo cambió, el cínico se ha convertido en el converso, el escéptico, en un ardiente fanático.

• Será un mal día cuando nuestros hermanos se dediquen a alardear y jactarse y lo llamen 'testimonio de la vida cristiana victoriosa'. Confiamos en que la santidad será más que nunca el objetivo de los creyentes, pero no la santidad jactanciosa que ha engañado a algunos de los excelentes de la tierra en vana gloria, y bajo la cual sus más firmes amigos tiemblan por ellos.

• Television is the same as the telephone, and the same as the World Wide Web for that matter.

People who bleat on about the 'artistic' potential of television qua television are equally deluded.

• The Vimalakirti Sutra states that, when one seeks the Buddhas' emancipation in the minds of ordinary beings, one finds that ordinary beings are the entities of enlightenment, and that the sufferings of birth and death are nirvana. It also states that, if the minds of living beings are impure, their land is also impure, but if their minds are pure, so is their land. There are not two lands, pure or impure in themselves. The difference lies solely in the good or evil of our minds.

• Puedo decir que esta es una generación engañada, velada por la ignorancia, que aunque el papismo y la esclavitud estén cabalgando sobre ellos, no lo perciben; aunque estoy seguro de que ningún hombre nació marcado por Dios sobre otro, porque ninguno viene al mundo con una silla de montar en su espalda, ni ninguno con botas y espuelas para montarlo.

• Cuando los acreedores de Estados Unidos consideran nuestro comportamiento, ven una irresponsabilidad fiscal total. Ven un país iluso que actúa como si fuera un privilegio que los extranjeros le presten, y un país iluso que cree que los extranjeros seguirán acumulando deuda estadounidense hasta el fin de los tiempos. La realidad es que Estados Unidos está en bancarrota.
