• No le debes a internet tu tiempo. Tu tiempo es tuyo, cualquier tiempo que le des a internet es un regalo. Internet no lo sabe y nunca lo aprenderá. El tiempo es lo más valioso que tienes. Más que el dinero, o la tierra, o el prestigio, o cualquier cosa valiosa que se te ocurra, una vida se mide en tiempo. Cuanto antes te alejes de una lucha inútil, más tiempo tendrás.

• En su corta estancia en Atlanta, estoy seguro de que vio que había una gran competencia entre el padre de Martin [Luther King] y John Wesley Dobbs en términos de estatus familiar. Ya sabe, las fanfarronadas acerca de quién era el primer hijo en obtener un título de maestría y de quién, tal vez, era el primer hijo en obtener un doctorado. Con un trasfondo como ese, el asunto de convertirse en presidente de un movimiento importante o de un movimiento que simboliza cierto prestigio es algo a lo que uno no se resiste fácilmente.

• Without a complex knowledge of one's place and without the faithfulness to one's place on which such knowledge depends, it is inevitable that the place will be used carelessly, and eventually destroyed. Without such knowledge and faithfulness, moreover, the culture of a country will be superficial and decorative, functional only insofar as it may be a symbol of prestige, the affectation of an elite or "in" group.

• Magic is that which it is; it is by itself, like the mathematics; for it is the exact and absolute science of Nature and its laws . Magic is the science of the Ancient Magi: and the Christian religion, which has imposed silence on the lying oracles, and put an end to the prestiges of the false Gods , itself reveres those Magi who came from the East, guided by a Star , to adore the Saviour of the world in His cradle.

• The necessity for power is obvious, because life cannot be lived without order; but the allocation of power is arbitrary because all men are alike, or very nearly. Yet power must not seem to be arbitrarily allocated, because it will not then be recognized as power. Therefore prestige, which is illusion, is of the very essence of power.

• What is generally regarded as success - acquisition of wealth, the capture of power or social prestige - I consider the most dismal failures. I hold when it is said of a man that he has arrived, it means that he is finished - his development has stopped at that point.

• The father's life is surrounded by mysterious prestige: the hours he spends in the home, the room where he works, the objects around him, his occupations, his habits, have a sacred character. It is he who feeds the family, is the one in charge and the head. Usually he works outside the home, and it is through him that the household communicates with the rest of the world: he is the embodiment of this adventurous, immense, difficult, and marvelous world; he is transcendence, he is God.

• The Government should take a firm, bold line. This delay - this uncertainty, by which, abroad, we are losing our prestige and our position, while Russia is advancing and will be before Constantinople in no time!

• No hay pasión más fuerte en el pecho del hombre que el deseo de hacer creer a los demás lo que él cree. Nada afecta tanto a la raíz de su felicidad y le llena de rabia como la sensación de que otro valora menos lo que él valora más. Whigs y Tories, Partido Liberal y Partido Laborista, ¿por qué luchan sino por su propio prestigio? No es el amor a la verdad, sino el deseo de prevalecer, lo que enfrenta a unos con otros y hace que el servilismo sea más importante que el triunfo de la verdad y la exaltación de la virtud, pero estas moralidades pertenecen y deben dejarse al historiador, ya que son tan aburridas como el agua de las acequias.

• The man [who] is greatest and most blessed and joyful [is one] whose life most closely approaches the pattern of Christ. This has nothing to do with earthly wealth, power, or prestige. The only true test of greatness, blessedness, joyfulness is how close can a life come to being like the Master, Jesus Christ. He is the right way, the full truth, and the abundant life.

  Ezra Taft Benson

  Jesus, Blessed, Greatness
