  Rey Jaime I

• Would that our harsh judgments could be restrained, our impatience checked, our selfishness broken down, our passions controlled, our waste of time and life in worthless or unworthy objects corrected, by the thought that there is One in whose hands we are, who cares for us with a parent's love, who will judge us hereafter without the slightest tinge of human' infirmity, the All-Merciful and the All-Just.

• Tenemos relatos de la deificación de hombres en la mitología pagana. Pero no recuerdo ningún relato de un dios que se hiciera hombre para ayudar al hombre. ¿Quién ha oído hablar de Júpiter, Marte o Minerva que bajaran e intentaran soportar las cargas de los hombres? Los dioses estaban suficientemente dispuestos a recibir los dones de los hombres, pero el cristianismo es único en el hecho de que nuestro Dios se hizo hombre con la enfermedad humana y se despojó de la gloria del cielo, para poder tomar sobre sí los pecados, las enfermedades y la debilidad de nuestra humanidad.

• Never yield to that temptation, which, to most young men, is very strong, of exposing other people's weaknesses and infirmities, for the sake either of diverting the company, or of showing your own superiority. You may get the laugh on your side by it for the present; but you will make enemies by it for ever; and even those who laugh with you then, will, upon reflection, fear, and consequently hate you.

• La mutabilidad es la insignia de la enfermedad. Es raro que un hombre siga deseando y pensando lo mismo dos días seguidos. Ahora está a favor de casarse; y ahora prefiere una amante a una esposa. Ahora es ambicioso y aspirante; ahora el sirviente más mezquino no es más humilde que él. A esta hora despilfarra su dinero; a la siguiente se vuelve avaro. Unas veces es frugal y serio; otras, profuso, aireado y alegre.

• Toda la legislación, todo el gobierno, toda la sociedad se basa en el principio de la concesión mutua, la cortesía, la cortesía; en esto se basa todo...

• Life is full of physical infirmities that some might see as discriminations - total paralysis or serious mental impairment being two that are relevant to marriage. If we believe in God and believe in His mercy and His justice, it won't do to say that these are discriminations because God wouldn't discriminate. We are in no condition to judge what discrimination is. We rest on our faith in God and our utmost assurance of His mercy and His love for all of His children.
