• Todo el mundo sabe de los artistas que hablan. A lo largo de toda la historia conocida del mundo se han reunido en las habitaciones y habló. Hablan de arte y son apasionadamente, casi febrilmente, en serio al respecto. Creen que es mucho más importante de lo que es.

• Necesitamos el tónico de la naturaleza salvaje... Al mismo tiempo que nos esforzamos por explorar y aprender todas las cosas, exigimos que todas las cosas sean misteriosas e inexplorables, que la tierra y el mar sean indefinidamente salvajes, no explorados e inexplorados por nosotros porque son insondables. Nunca tendremos suficiente naturaleza.

• Altruism is for those who can't endure their desires. There's a world as ambiguous as a moan, a pleasure moan our earnest neighbors might think a crime. It's where we could live. I'll say I love you, Which will lead, of course, to disappointment, but those words unsaid poison every next moment. I will try to disappoint you better than anyone else has. --Mon Semblable

• Las personas cautelosas y precavidas, siempre tratando de preservar su reputación y su posición social, nunca pueden llevar a cabo una reforma. Aquellos que son realmente serios deben estar dispuestos a ser cualquier cosa o nada en la estimación del mundo, y pública y privadamente, a tiempo y fuera de tiempo, confesar su simpatía con las ideas despreciadas y perseguidas y sus defensores, y soportar las consecuencias.

• Un amor verdaderamente cristiano, ya sea a Dios o a los hombres, es un amor humilde y de corazón quebrantado. Los deseos de los santos, por más fervientes que sean, son deseos humildes. Su esperanza es una esperanza humilde; y su alegría, incluso cuando es indecible y llena de gloria, es una humilde alegría de corazón roto, y deja al cristiano más pobre de espíritu, y más como un niño pequeño, y más dispuesto a una humildad universal de comportamiento.

• Paracelsus At times I almost dream I too have spent a life the sages’ way, And tread once more familiar paths. Perchance I perished in an arrogant self-reliance Ages ago; and in that act a prayer For one more chance went up so earnest, so Instinct with better light let in by death, That life was blotted out — not so completely But scattered wrecks enough of it remain, Dim memories, as now, when once more seems The goal in sight again.

• ¿Estás seriamente resuelto a no trocar nunca tu libertad por la servidumbre señorial de una corte, sino a vivir libre, intrépido e independiente? Parece que hay una manera de continuar en esa virtuosa resolución; y tal vez sólo una. Nunca entres en el lugar del que tan pocos han podido regresar; nunca entres en el círculo de la ambición; ni te pongas nunca en comparación con esos amos de la tierra que ya han acaparado la atención de la mitad de la humanidad antes que tú.

• You have always told me it was Ernest. I have introduced you to every one as Ernest. You answer to the name of Ernest. You look as if your name was Ernest. You are the most earnest-looking person I ever saw in my life. It is perfectly absurd your saying that your name isn't Ernest.

• La gente subestima la importancia de la diligencia como virtud. Sin duda tiene algo que ver con lo sumamente mundana que parece. Se define como "el esfuerzo constante y sincero para lograr lo que se emprende"... Entendida, sin embargo, como el prerrequisito de un gran logro, la diligencia se erige como uno de los retos más difíciles a los que se enfrenta cualquier grupo de personas que asuma tareas de riesgo y consecuencia. Establece una expectativa elevada, aparentemente imposible, para el rendimiento y el comportamiento humano.

• I would suggest two approaches to begin the leadership journey in earnest. First would be to ask oneself, in every interaction with others over the course of a single day: How can you best serve this person? Another approach would be to attempt, over the course of a single day, to reframe your declarative statements into questions. The thoughtful use of questions can be transformational. In my experience, most people find these exercises more challenging - and more rewarding - than they would have imagined.
