• I fear I have not one good word to say this fair morning, though the sun shines so encouragingly on the distant hills and gentle river and the trees are in their festive hues. I am not festive, though contented. When obliged to give myself to the prose of life, as I am on this occasion of being established in a new home I like to do the thing, wholly and quite, - to weave my web for the day solely from the grey yarn.

• Nada tiene mayor tendencia a disminuir la reverencia que la humanidad debería tener por el Ser Supremo, que una repetición descuidada de su nombre en cualquier ocasión insignificante... . Para evitar esta profanación, se seleccionan pasajes de las Escrituras que contienen algunos preceptos importantes de moralidad y religión, en los que rara vez se menciona ese nombre sagrado. Que las cosas sagradas se destinen a fines sagrados.

• The Spirit of Enterprise, which characterizes the commercial part of America, has left no occasion of displaying itself unimproved.

• It may be considered as an objection inherent in the principle, that as every appeal to the people would carry an implication of some defect in the government, frequent appeals would in great measure deprive the government of that veneration which time bestows on every thing, and without which perhaps the wisest and freest governments would not possess the requisite stability . . . a constitutional road to the decision of the people ought to be marked out and kept open, for certain great and extraordinary occasions

• The man and the movement seemed 'reactionary' in my eyes. My common sense of justice, however, forced me to change this judgment in proportion as I had occasion to become acquainted with the man and his work; and slowly my fair judgment turned to unconcealed admiration. Today, more than ever, I regard this man as the greatest German mayor of all times.

• En muchas ocasiones me han preguntado si creo que la Iglesia occidental sufrirá persecuciones. Mi respuesta podría sorprenderle. Creo que si te encuentras esclavizado dentro de una estructura eclesiástica controladora de legalismo y esclavitud, ¡entonces ya estás siendo perseguido! Muchos cristianos parecen imposiblemente distraídos de escuchar la voz de Dios. En lugar de escuchar esa voz quieta y pequeña que trae verdadera paz y alegría, siguen ciegamente las voces de la religión dominante. La peor clase de persecución para un cristiano es cuando se le separa de la alegría y la presencia del Espíritu Santo.

• I can no more disown (Jeremiah Wright) than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

• Los hombres dudan menos en dañar a quien se hace amar que a quien se hace temer, porque el amor se mantiene unido por una cadena de obligación que, dado que los hombres son criaturas desdichadas, se rompe en cada ocasión en que se ven afectados sus propios intereses; pero el miedo se sostiene por el temor al castigo, que nunca te abandonará.

  Nicolás Maquiavelo

• A menudo me da reparo utilizar la palabra "inspiración" para presentar mi trabajo, porque suena demasiado como una lluvia de sol caída del cielo, absorbida por un individuo pasivo que disfruta de un momento especialmente receptivo. Aunque puede ser así en contadas ocasiones, la realidad suele ser mucho más prosaica. Ante un papel en blanco, no se me ocurre nada original. Me siento totalmente falto de inspiración y receptividad. Es el conocido malestar del "bloqueo del artista" y en tales circunstancias sólo hay una cosa que hacer: ponerse a dibujar.
