• Planted by your care? No! Your oppression planted them in America... nourished by your indulgence? They grew by your neglect of them... As soon as you began to care about them, that care was exercised in sending persons to rule over them... men whose behaviour on many occasions has caused the blood of those sons of liberty to recoil within them.

• Este es un don que tengo, simple, sencillo; un tonto espíritu extravagante lleno de formas, figuras, figuras, objetos, ideas, aprehensiones, movimientos, revoluciones; estos son engendrados en el ventrículo de la memoria, alimentados en el vientre de la pia mater, y entregados al madurar la ocasión.

• Medicine is a science which hath been (as we have said) more professed than laboured, and yet more laboured than advanced: the labour having been, in my judgment, rather in circle than in progression. For I find much iteration, but small addition. It considereth causes of diseases, with the occasions or impulsions; the diseases themselves, with the accidents; and the cures, with the preservation.

• What gives value to travel is fear. It is a fact that, at a certain moment, when we are so far from our own country, we are seized by a vague fear and an instinctive desire to go back to the protection of old habits. I look upon it more as an occasion for testing.

• The starry heaven, though it occurs so very frequently to our view, never fails to excite an idea of grandeur. This cannot be owing to the stars themselves, separately considered. The number is certainly the cause. The apparent disorder augments the grandeur, for the appearance of care is highly contrary to our ideas of magnificence. Besides, the stars lie in such apparent confusion, as makes it impossible on ordinary occasions to reckon them. This gives them the advantage of a sort of infinity.

• Hace un año, en esta ocasión, llamé su atención sobre los abusos que se habían deslizado en la distribución de nuestros fondos públicos, y les urgí y supliqué que, en lo que concierne a la Iglesia y a sus miembros, no ensuciáramos nuestras manos con la generosa efusión de fondos que el gobierno nos estaba dando. Renuevo esa súplica ahora. Mis hermanos y hermanas, por el bien del gobierno que amamos, por el bien del gobierno que creemos que fue divinamente inspirado, sean honestos con él. Sean honestos, sólo ordinariamente honestos. Eso es todo lo que pido.

• La historia dará también ocasión de explayarse sobre las ventajas del orden civil y de las constituciones; cómo se protege a los hombres y a sus propiedades uniéndose en sociedades y estableciendo un gobierno; cómo se estimula y recompensa su industria, se inventan las artes y se hace más cómoda la vida; las ventajas de la libertad, los males del libertinaje, los beneficios que se derivan de las buenas leyes y de la debida ejecución de la justicia. Así pueden fijarse en la mente de la juventud los primeros principios de una política sana.

• For, when the credit of a country is in any degree questionable, it never fails to give on extravagant premium, in one shape or another, upon all the loans it has occasion to make. Nor does the evil end here; the same disadvantage must be sustained upon whatever is to be bought on terms of future payment. From this constant necessity of borrowing and buying dear, it is easy to conceive how immensely the expenses of a nation, in a course of time, will be augmented by an unsound state of the public credit.

• In the homes of many Western Christians, hours are sometimes spent listening to worldly music. In our homes loud music can also be heard, but it is only to cover the talk about the gospel and the underground work so that neighbors may not overhear it and inform the secret police. How underground Christians rejoice on those rare occasions when they meet a serious Christian from the West!

• Un día bien hecho -con un principio y un final, un propósito y un contenido, un color y un carácter, una sensación y una textura- ocupa su lugar entre los muchos y se convierte en un valioso recuerdo y un tesoro. A medianoche llegan los mensajeros alados, recogen todas estas piezas y se las llevan a dondequiera que se guarde el mosaico. Y seguramente, en alguna ocasión, un mensajero le dice a otro: "Espera a ver éste".

• When my father finally got around to teaching me to drive, he was impressed at my "natural" talent for driving, not knowing that I had already been secretly driving my mother's car around the neighborhood. When I took the test and got my license and my father gave me my own set of keys to the car one night at dinner, it was a major rite of passage for him and my mother. Their perception of me had changed and was formally acknowledged. For me the occasion meant a private sanction to do in public what I had already been doing in secret.
