• Nada puede ser más antifilosófico que ser positivo o dogmático sobre cualquier tema; e incluso si se pudiera mantener un escepticismo excesivo, no sería más destructivo para todo razonamiento e investigación justos. Cuando los hombres son más seguros y arrogantes, son comúnmente los más equivocados, y han dado las riendas a la pasión, sin la deliberación y el suspenso apropiados que pueden protegerlos de los absurdos más groseros.

  David Hume

  Passion, Men, Being Positive

• I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred? was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin? or was it not laid loose? If not, why does it still echo in our ears on all sides, "Let him alone, let him do as he will, for he is not yet baptised?" but as to bodily health, no one says, "Let him be worse wounded, for he is not yet healed." How much better then, had I been at once healed; and then, by my friends' diligence and my own, my soul's recovered health had been kept safe in Thy keeping who gavest it.

• Inmediatamente me doy cuenta de que la inteligencia, así utilizada con ligereza y exhibida con arrogancia, es una marca de nacimiento que me da una cara de dos colores, es un bocio, una joroba en la espalda, dedos de los pies palmeados y me hace apestar como el hombre de la noche. Una vez más aprendo lo que sabía desde mi primer día en la escuela de Kensington y que había olvidado por descuido: que es más inteligente parecer menos inteligente. A partir de ahora me contengo y devuelvo públicamente sólo lo que me han dado: cincuenta y seis por siete-ocho.

• No queremos dar los mandos a otro; queremos las riendas nosotros mismos. Queremos salirnos con la nuestra. Y nos enfadamos cuando las cosas no salen bien. . . . Cuando intentamos controlar a otra persona o los acontecimientos más allá del alcance de nuestro poder, perdemos. Cuando aprendemos a discernir la diferencia entre lo que podemos cambiar y lo que no, normalmente nos resulta más fácil expresar nuestro poder en la vida. Como no malgastamos toda nuestra energía utilizando nuestro poder para cambiar cosas que no podemos, nos queda mucha energía para vivir nuestras vidas.

  Melody Beattie

• The incomprehensibleness of women is an old theory, but what is that to the curious wondering observation with which wives, mothers, and sisters watch the other unreasoning animal in those moments when he has snatched the reins out of their hands, and is not to be spoken to! .
