• Para ellos, hacer milagros es anticuado y pasado de moda; enseñar al pueblo es un trabajo demasiado duro, interpretar las Sagradas Escrituras es para escolares y rezar es una pérdida de tiempo; derramar lágrimas es débil y femenino, estar necesitado es degradante; sufrir una derrota es una deshonra y poco apropiado para alguien que apenas permite que el mayor de los reyes bese los dedos de sus sagrados pies; y, por último, la muerte es una perspectiva poco atractiva, y morir en una cruz sería un final ignominioso.

• El Maestro dijo: "La riqueza y el honor son cosas que toda la gente desea y, sin embargo, a menos que se adquieran de la manera adecuada, no las soportaré. La pobreza y la desgracia son cosas que toda la gente odia, y sin embargo, a menos que se eviten de la manera adecuada, no las despreciaré. Si el caballero abandona el ren, ¿cómo puede ser digno de ese nombre? El caballero no viola el ren ni siquiera por el tiempo necesario para comer una comida. Incluso en momentos de urgencia o angustia, no se aparta de él".

• Por una razón u otra, el hombre busca el milagro, y para conseguirlo vadeará la sangre. El hombre, por una u otra razón, busca el milagro, y para conseguirlo se sumerge en la sangre, se embriaga de ideas, se reduce a una sombra con tal de poder cerrar los ojos ante lo espantoso de la realidad durante un solo segundo de su vida. Todo se soporta -desgracia, humillación, pobreza, guerra, crimen, hastío- en la creencia de que de la noche a la mañana ocurrirá algo, un milagro, que hará la vida tolerable.

• Oh! Be men, or be more than men. Be steady to your purposes and firm as a rock. This ice is not made of such stuff as your hearts may be; it is mutable and cannot withstand you if you say that it shall not.
