• Cada arbusto de manzanos silvestres excita así nuestra expectación, un poco como cada niño salvaje. Es, tal vez, un príncipe disfrazado. ¡Qué lección para el hombre! Así son los seres humanos, referidos al más alto nivel, los frutos celestiales que sugieren y aspiran a dar, rozados por el destino; y sólo el genio más persistente y fuerte se defiende y prevalece, envía al fin un tierno vástago hacia arriba, y deja caer su fruto perfecto sobre la tierra ingrata. Así surgen poetas, filósofos y estadistas en los pastos del campo, y sobreviven a las huestes de hombres no originales.

• Tea with us became more than an idealisation of the form of drinking; it is a religion of the art of life. The beverage grew to be an excuse for the worship of purity and refinement, a sacred function at which the host and guest joined to produce for that occasion the utmost beatitude of the mundane.

• No todo el mundo sabe guardar silencio o marcharse a tiempo. Ocurre que incluso las personas de buena educación no se dan cuenta de que su presencia provoca en el anfitrión cansado o preocupado un sentimiento parecido al odio, y que este sentimiento se disimula tensamente y se encubre con mentiras.

• 10 years ago, I would've host Saturday Night Live. But to me, the show has declined. For some reason, humor isn't what it was. It just, to me, it's not as funny as it was, not as sharply satirical.

• A good, finished scandal, fully armed and equipped, such as circulates in the world, is rarely the production of a single individual, or even of a single coterie. It sees the light in one; is rocked and nurtured in another; is petted, developed, and attains its growth in a third; and receives its finishing touches only after passing through a multitude of hands. It is a child that can count a host of fathers--all ready to disown it.

• Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions--or, at least, will be second to none--and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure.

• I've never been uncomfortable with the host of modern gurus, and gurus of different motivations I should say, or different intentions. You know, we are moving into a time where it's extremely commercial, but then I keep reminding those that I speak to that consciousness has no products, it really has no commerciality.

  The habitants of earth.

• Whats different now is that while political leaders used to give talking points to talk radio, now talk-radio hosts are giving talking points to political leaders. Its all part of the suffocating spin cycle were in. In media, politics and publishing, the conventional wisdom is to play to this base.

• To Israel's faithful hosts in the past, as to its loyal sons and daughters of the present, the Siddur has been the gate to communion with their Father in Heaven; and, at the same time, it has been a mighty spiritual bond that unites them to their scattered brethren the world over.

• It was a feature peculiar to the colonial wars of North America, that the toils and dangers of the wilderness were to be encountered, before the adverse hosts could meet. A wide, and, apparently, an impervious boundary of forests, severed the possessions of the hostile provinces of France and England. The hardy colonist, and the trained European who fought at his side, frequently expended months in struggling against the rapids of the streams, or in effecting the rugged passes of the mountains, in quest of an opportunity to exhibit their courage in a more martial conflict.
