• La Lección que tienes que aprender es el día al que algún día llegarás tambaleándote, parpadeando a la luz fría, con todas las lágrimas derramadas, dispuesto a meter tu bovina cabeza en el yugo que te han formado. Todo el mundo aprende esto. Todos nacen, respiran, pagan impuestos, plantan muertos y sufren en abundancia. Hay dolor suficiente para cada uno. Mi madre aprendió moviéndose de hombre en hombre, sobrevivió a todos. La tierra reseca está desnuda (una vez que ella la deja) de cualquiera que observara los instantes en que la pisé. Aparte de mí, por supuesto. He hecho un estudio de la paciencia y el aguante. Todo el mundo lo hace, resulta, y fíjate en esas caras que pasan: Ninguno es un dios.

• If this advertisement be not sufficient, I can only protrude my wormlike tendrils of apology, craving forbearance on the grounds that a writer must write about what he knows, and since I know nothing about any subject it scarcely matters where I dabble.

• If President Clinton has his way, we will have a false debate in the 1996 election campaign. It will not engage real political choices - choices framed by our appetite for government services and our distaste for taxes - but rather artificial choices crafted by Clinton to advance his reelection. Clinton has clearly been using the budget as an election platform...I dislike using the word 'lies,' but Clinton exploits such forbearance (widespread in the press) to spread untruths.

• [The Dalai Lama] told me some years ago, "I've made every concession to China, and I've been as open and tolerant as I could, and still things get worse in Tibet." If you look at it from one point of view, as he himself says, his monastic position of forbearance and nonviolence hasn't reaped any benefits. And yet, he's thinking in terms of the long term, of centuries.

• The reputations of the Lord's people should be very precious in our sight...We may ourselves one of these dark days need forbearance and silence from our brethren, let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our family rule, and our personal bond: Speak evil of no man.

• Those externalized costs have always included labor. It is only the decline over time of the minimum wage in real dollars that's made the fast food industry possible, along with feedlot agriculture, pharmaceuticals on the farm, pesticides and regulatory forbearance. All these things are part of the answer to the question: Why is that crap so cheap? Our food is dishonestly priced. One of the ways in which it's dishonestly priced is the fact that people are not paid a living wage to process it, to serve it, to grow it, to slaughter it.

• A strong defense is the surest way to peace. Strength makes detente attainable. Weakness invites war, as my generation - my generation - knows from four very bitter experiences. Just as America's will for peace is second to none, so will America's strength be second to none. We cannot rely on the forbearance of others to protect this Nation. The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.

• La eminente posición de Canadá en la actualidad es un tributo a la paciencia, la tolerancia y la fuerza de carácter de su pueblo, tanto de estirpe francesa como británica. Canadá se ha enriquecido tanto con la herencia francesa como con la británica, y Quebec ha transmitido a Canadá la vitalidad y el espíritu de la propia Francia. El notable logro canadiense de unidad nacional y progreso a través de la conciliación, la moderación y la tolerancia puede ser estudiado con provecho por sus naciones hermanas.

• La administración Bush sigue mimando a China, a pesar de su continua represión de la reforma democrática, su brutal subyugación del Tíbet, su irresponsable exportación de tecnología nuclear y de misiles... Esta indulgencia por nuestra parte podría haber tenido sentido durante la Guerra Fría, cuando China era el contrapeso del poder soviético. No tiene sentido jugar la carta de China ahora que nuestros adversarios han tirado la toalla.

• There are two kinds of pity. One, the weak and sentimental kind, which is really no more than the heart's impatience to be rid as quickly as possible of the painful emotion aroused by the sight of another's unhappiness, that pity which is not compassion, but only an instinctive desire to fortify one's own soul agains the sufferings of another; and the other, the only one at counts, the unsentimental but creative kind, which knows what it is about and is determined to hold out, in patience and forbearance, to the very limit of its strength and even beyond.

• El último y mejor fruto que llega a la perfección tardía, incluso en el alma más bondadosa, es la ternura hacia el duro, la tolerancia hacia el insoportable, el calor del corazón hacia el frío, la filantropía hacia el misántropo.

• Si lo pensamos detenidamente, vemos que la breve euforia que experimentamos al apaciguar los impulsos sensuales puede no ser muy diferente de lo que siente el drogadicto cuando se entrega a su hábito. Al alivio temporal le sigue pronto el ansia de más. Y del mismo modo que consumir drogas al final sólo causa problemas, lo mismo ocurre con muchas de las cosas que emprendemos para satisfacer nuestros deseos sensoriales inmediatos.
