• Es en nuestra propia mente y no en los objetos exteriores donde percibimos la mayor parte de las cosas; los necios apenas saben nada porque están vacíos y su corazón es estrecho; pero las grandes almas encuentran en sí mismas una serie de cosas exteriores; no tienen necesidad de leer ni de viajar ni de escuchar ni de trabajar para descubrir las verdades más elevadas; sólo tienen que ahondar en sí mismas y escudriñar, si se puede decir así, sus propios pensamientos.

• Men have been taught that their first concern is to relieve the suffering of others. ... To make that the highest test of virtue is to make suffering the most important part of life. Then man must wish to see others suffer in order that he may be virtuous. Such is the nature of altruism.

• In all modern history, interference with science in the supposed interest of religion, no matter how conscientious such interference may have been, has resulted in the direst evils both to religion and to science, and invariably; and, on the other hand, all untrammelled scientific investigation, no matter how dangerous to religion some of its stages may have seemed for the time to be, has invariably resulted in the highest good both of religion and of science.

• Only a work democracy can create the foundation of genuine freedom. Long experience in sociological disputes leads me to expect that a great many people will take offense at the disclosure of this miscalculation. It makes the highest demands on people's will to veracity; it puts a heavy burden on everyday living; it places all social responsibility on those who work, be it in the factory, in the office, on the farm, in the laboratory, or wherever.

• Siento la más alta veneración por esos Caballeros, pero, Señor, permítame preguntarle, ¿qué derecho tenían a decir Nosotros, el Pueblo? Mi curiosidad política, exclusiva de mi ansiosa preocupación por el bienestar público, me lleva a preguntar quién los autorizó a hablar el lenguaje de Nosotros, el Pueblo, en lugar de Nosotros, los Estados. Los Estados son las características y el alma de la confederación. Si los Estados no son los agentes de este pacto, debe ser un gran Gobierno Nacional consolidado del pueblo de todos los Estados.

• En una palabra, la Sagrada Escritura es el mejor y más elevado de los libros, que abunda en consuelo bajo todas las aflicciones y pruebas. Nos enseña a ver, a sentir, a captar y a comprender la fe, la esperanza y la caridad, mucho mejor de lo que puede hacerlo la mera razón humana; y mientras el mal nos oprime, nos enseña cómo estas virtudes arrojan luz sobre las tinieblas, y cómo, después de esta pobre y miserable existencia nuestra en la tierra, hay otra vida eterna.

• God indeed tempteth no man; but yet we ask, in this petition, that he would keep and preserve us, lest the devil, the world, and our own flesh delude and draw us away from the true faith, and throw us into superstition, distrust, despair, and other grievous sins and wickedness; and that, if we should be tempted therewith even to the highest degree, we still may conquer, and at last triumph over them.

• I am alone, as though I stood     On the highest peak of the tired gray world,About me only swirling snow,     Above me, endless space unfurled;With earth hidden and heaven hidden,     And only my own spirit's prideTo keep me from the peace of those     Who are not lonely, having died.

• Since freedom is not a fixed thing that can be grasped and held once for all, but a growth, any particular society, such as our own, always appears partly free and partly unfree. In so far as it favors, in every child, the development of his highest possibilities, it is free, but where it falls short of this it is not.

• El autoritario recurre a un libro, a un hombre o a una tradición para establecer la verdad. El librepensador recurre a la razón y al juicio personal para descubrir la verdad... Se necesita el mayor valor para decir verdades impopulares.

• El valor es digno de respeto cuando se muestra en el mantenimiento de reivindicaciones legítimas y en el rechazo de agresiones, corporales o de otro tipo. El valor es digno de un respeto aún mayor cuando se afronta el peligro en defensa de reivindicaciones comunes a uno mismo y a los demás, como en la resistencia a una invasión. El valor merece el máximo respeto cuando se arriesga la vida o la integridad física en defensa de los demás.

• Wikipedia is first and foremost an effort to create and distribute a free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language.
