• La forma en que hablas y las palabras que utilizas dicen mucho de la imagen que decides dar. Utiliza el lenguaje para edificar y elevar a los que te rodean.

El Señor dijo: "No tomarás el nombre del Señor tu Dios en vano" (Ex. 20:7).

• I've been given a gift [musical talent] - don't misuse it. I spent a lot of time just wasting that talent, not treasuring it, not valuing it, not respecting it, just taking it for granted. That was a hard lesson to learn. It doesn't come for free. Don't do that. Treasure it, respect it, treat it as a responsibility that you've been given, and enjoy the hell out of it.

• The idea that a game is anything more than a game... You know, there are people who are basically unbalanced who are going to misuse a game and have bad results. If a golfer who insists on playing during a lightning storm gets hit by a stroke of lightning and is killed nobody says, 'There's golfers dying by the droves being hit by lightning!' You can overdo what you really like, and if you're unbalanced you go overboard.

• It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is. While one's child takes a part of one's heart to use and misuse as they please, a grandchild is different. Gone are the bonds of guilt and responsibility that burden the maternal relationship. The way to love is free.

• Sé que Dios nos ama. Nos permite ejercer nuestro albedrío moral incluso cuando hacemos un mal uso de él. Nos permite tomar nuestras propias decisiones. Cristo no puede ayudarnos si no confiamos en Él; no puede enseñarnos si no le servimos. No nos obligará a hacer lo correcto, pero nos mostrará el camino sólo cuando decidamos servirle. Ciertamente, para que sirvamos en Su reino, Cristo requiere que experimentemos un cambio de pensamiento y actitud.

Better that we should spell these out ourselves than leave that task to people with a vested interest in stressing only some of the implications and falsifying others. The idea that academics should remain "above the fray" only gives ideologues license to misuse our work.

• La descomposición de nuestro idioma, evidente en el mal uso, es decir, la incomprensión de sustantivos y adjetivos, es más grave, aunque quizá no tan conspicua, en el manejo de las preposiciones, esos modestos conectivos que mantienen unidas las partes de una frase u oración. Son las articulaciones de cualquier lengua, lo que la hace, literalmente, articulada.
