Offer discretion and discernment for our past with a broad spectrum of forgiveness. As for our present moment, delight. And dedication to remain fully present to all the possibility.

• No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion.

• Katy was neither a Methodist nor a Masochist. She was a goddess and the silence of goddesses is genuinely golden. None of your superficial plating. A solid, twenty-two-carat silence all the way through. The Olympian's trap is kept shut, not by an act of willed discretion, but because there's really nothing to say. Goddesses are all of one piece. There's no internal conflict in them. Whereas the lives of people like you and me are one long argument. Desires on one side, woodpeckers on the other. Never a moment of real silence.

  Aldous Huxley

• How very sad it is to have a confiding nature, one's hopes and feelings are quite at the mercy of all who come along; and how very desirable to be a stolid individual, whose hopes and aspirations are safe in one's waistcoat pocket, and that a pocket indeed, and one not to be picked!

• Aunque la Iglesia exhorta a las autoridades civiles a buscar la paz, no la guerra, y a ejercer la discreción y la misericordia a la hora de imponer castigos a los criminales, puede seguir siendo lícito tomar las armas para repeler a un agresor o recurrir a la pena capital. Puede haber una legítima diversidad de opiniones, incluso entre los católicos, acerca de hacer la guerra y aplicar la pena de muerte, pero no sin embargo con respecto al aborto y la eutanasia.

  Pope Benedict XVI
