• We cannot separate our lives from time. Why is it that we are so extravagant, so thoughtless, in our waste of time, especially in youth, when we cling so tenaciously to life? You cannot separate a wasted hour from the same duration of your life. If you waste your time, you must waste your life. If you improve your time, you cannot help improving your life.

• Terminar el momento, encontrar el final del viaje en cada paso del camino, vivir el mayor número de horas buenas, es sabiduría. No es parte de los hombres, sino de los fanáticos, o de los matemáticos, si lo prefieres, decir que, considerando la brevedad de la vida, no vale la pena preocuparse de si durante tan corta duración nos desparramamos en la miseria o nos sentamos en lo alto. Puesto que nuestro oficio son los momentos, maridémoslos.

• Durante años se nos ha aconsejado tener a mano un año de provisiones de alimentos. Sin embargo, hoy en día hay algunos que no comenzarán a almacenar hasta que la Iglesia publique un programa detallado de almacenamiento mensual en el hogar. Ahora supongamos que eso nunca sucede. Todavía no podemos decir que no se nos ha dicho. Si el Señor decidiera en este momento limpiar la Iglesia - y la necesidad de esa limpieza parece estar aumentando - una hambruna en esta tierra de un año de duración podría acabar con un gran porcentaje de miembros perezosos, incluyendo algunos oficiales de barrio y estaca. Sin embargo, no podemos decir que no hemos sido advertidos.

• I am beginning to rub my eyes at the prospect of peace. I think it will require more courage than anything that has gone before … One will have to look at long vistas again, instead of short ones, and one will at last fully recognise that the dead are not only dead for the duration of the war.

• No debe permitirse que el usuario de la tierra adquiera derechos de duración indefinida por pagos únicos. En aras de la eficacia, de unos ingresos adecuados y de la justicia, debería exigirse a todo usuario del suelo que efectúe un pago anual al gobierno local equivalente al valor de alquiler actual del suelo que impide que otros utilicen.

• Nuestro deseo es crecer tan tranquilos y trabajar tan profundamente que participemos plenamente en el misterio en el que estamos inmersos. Cuando lo conseguimos, nos sentimos como si nos hubiéramos fundido con el universo; mientras dura esa experiencia, nos sentimos inmortales.

• El maltrato siempre está mal. Algunos intentan excusarlo. La mayoría de los agresores tienen un sentido del derecho y creen que sus acciones están justificadas. Irónicamente, sus víctimas también pueden creer que merecen ser maltratadas. Algunas incluso defienden a su agresor, citando sus sinceras disculpas posteriores. Pero el maltrato, en cualquiera de sus formas y por cualquier motivo, hiere a ambos cónyuges. Siempre es pecaminoso, y pocas cosas destruyen tan rápidamente la confianza en un matrimonio. Independientemente del dolor de la infancia o del conflicto matrimonial, los cónyuges maduros aprenden a poner límites para que la ira no se convierta en abuso por su frecuencia, grado o duración.

• If we denote excitation as an end-effect by the sign plus (+), and inhibition as end-effect by the sign minus (-), such a reflex as the scratch-reflex can be termed a reflex of double-sign, for it develops excitatory end-effect and then inhibitory end-effect even during the duration of the exciting stimulus.

• We have got to accept Big Government for the duration-for neither an offensive nor a defensive war can be waged, given our present government skills, except through the instrument of a totalitarian bureaucracy within our shores. … And if they deem Soviet power a menace to our freedom (as I happen to), they will have to support large armies and air forces, atomic energy, central intelligence, war production boards, and the attendant centralization of power in Washington-even with Truman at the reins of it all.

• Declaro que la guerra civil es inevitable y está cerca. Cuando llegue, los descendientes de los héroes de Lexington y Bunker Hill serán iguales en patriotismo, valor y resistencia heroica a los descendientes de los héroes de Cowpens y Yorktown. Por esta razón, predigo que la guerra civil que se avecina será obstinada y de larga duración.

• El dolor en la vida es inevitable, pero el sufrimiento no. El dolor es lo que el mundo te hace, el sufrimiento es lo que te haces a ti mismo [por la forma en que piensas sobre el "dolor" que recibes]. El dolor es inevitable, el sufrimiento es opcional. [Siempre puedes agradecer que el dolor no sea peor en calidad, cantidad, frecuencia, duración, etc.].
