• Martin Luther described the doctrine of justification by faith as the article of faith that decides whether the church is standing or falling. By this he meant that when this doctrine is understood, believed, and preached, as it was in New-Testament times, the church stands in the grace of God and is alive; but where it is neglected, overlaid, or denied, ... the church falls from grace and its life drains away, leaving it in a state of darkness and death.

  J. I. Packer

• Resulta instructivo considerar las caídas en desgracia más espectaculares y conocidas de los líderes de la opinión pública... En general, los problemas que subyacen a estas caídas podrían agruparse en falta de competencia, falta de apoyo o lealtad de quienes pretendían liderar y falta de integridad. De todos ellos, el último es el más atroz, el más fatal. Deseamos tanto que nuestros líderes sean indefectiblemente decentes que un defecto evidente o percibido de integridad puede ser la toxina que acabe con ellos.

  Peter Cosgrove

  Liderazgo, lealtad, integridad

• I had achieved so much success in my career and then had this spectacular fall from grace that left me unemployed and living in a town, Los Angeles, that is built on envy. Once you fall, people don't really root for you to come back again. I'd go to restaurants where I always had the best table and half the time they wouldn't even let me pay. And then when I stopped making movies, the same places wouldn't even give me a lousy table, never mind the best one!

  Mickey Rourke

  James Ellroy

  Regret, Fall, America

• When your hero falls from grace, all fairy tales are uncovered Myth exposed and pain magnified, the grace pays uncovered He told me to be strong, but I confused to see it so weak You say never to give up, and it hurts to see what comes to be When your hero falls soley the stars, and so does the reception of tomorrow Without my hero, theres only me alone, to deal with my sorrow Your heart ceases to work, and your soul is not happy at all What are you expected to do, when your only hero falls
