• Si intentamos resolver el terrorismo con poderío militar y nada más, entonces no estaremos más seguros de lo que estábamos antes del 11-S. Si de verdad queremos un legado de paz para nuestros hijos, tenemos que entender que esta es una guerra que, en última instancia, se ganará con libros, no con bombas.

• Los regímenes plantados por bayonetas no echan raíces... Nuestra fuerza militar es un prerrequisito para la paz, pero que quede claro que mantenemos esta fuerza con la esperanza de que nunca sea utilizada, ya que el factor determinante en la lucha que está teniendo lugar ahora en el mundo no serán las bombas y los cohetes, sino una prueba de voluntades e ideas, una prueba de determinación espiritual, los valores que sostenemos, las creencias que apreciamos, los ideales a los que estamos dedicados.

  Ronald Reagan

• An important part of building a new culture was allowing people to complain about their past. At first, the more they complained, the worse the past would seem. But by venting, people could start to resolve the past. By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories. Grow bored. Only then could they accept a new story for their lives. Move forward.

  Chuck Palahniuk

• Nunca me gustó la música de jazz porque la música de jazz no resuelve. Pero una noche estaba fuera del Bagdad Theater de Portland cuando vi a un hombre tocando el saxofón. Me quedé allí quince minutos y él nunca abrió los ojos.

• I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened.

• Unlike the male codfish which, suddenly finding itself the parent of three million five hundred thousand little codfish, cheerfully resolves to love them all, the British aristocracy is apt to look with a somewhat jaundiced eye on its younger sons.

• En algunos pensamientos uno se queda perplejo, especialmente a la vista del pecado de los hombres, y se pregunta si debe usar la fuerza o el amor humilde. Decide siempre usar el amor humilde. Si te decides a ello de una vez por todas, podrás someter al mundo entero.

• We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours.

  Oswald Chambers

• Despierta ahora, luce vivo, porque aquí hay un día libre de trabajo sólo para alabar a la Creación: el pavo, la calabaza y el maíz, estas cosas que comieron y bebieron sol, hierba, barro y lluvia, y luego en los días que se acortan entregaron sus vidas por nuestro bienestar y resolución de seguir adelante. Ahí está el milagro para ti, el sacrificio absoluto que aún guarda la semilla: un germen de promesa para hacerlo todo de nuevo, en otra ocasión. . . Thanksgiving es la fiesta de cumpleaños de la Creación. Alabada cosecha, una pausa y un suspiro en el aliento de la inmortalidad.

• it is amazin, she thinks, how simple appearances can be created - a rush, a smile, a new coat of paint, a slow, calm voice, a hug, a new dress - a resolve to keep out questions and cling to secrets

• La mente comprometida, iluminada por la verdad, despierta la conciencia; el corazón comprometido, afectado por el amor, despierta la pasión. Permítanme decirlo una vez más: esta energía esencial del alma no es un trance extático, una emoción elevada o una postura optimista ante la vida: es un anhelo feroz de Dios, una resolución inquebrantable de vivir en y desde nuestra amabilidad. - pág. 152

• It is harder for women, perhaps to be 'one-pointed,' much harder for them to clear space around whatever it is they want to do beyond household chores and family life. Their lives are fragmented... the cry not so much for a 'a room of one's own' as time of one's own. Conflict become acute, whatever it may be about, when there is no margin left on any day in which to try at least to resolve it.

• You have to be nicer to me," I said. Again he laughed. "What? I'm the King of nice. What are you talking about?" "You have to be nicer to me or... or..." "Or what?" he said. Still Lars, still charming and jokey, but with a thread of fear. It snaked in and pierced my numbness and almost broke my resolve. Almost, but not quite. "Or I have ti break up with you." I whispered What was there more to say? Nothing. So I hung up.

• We know of no spectacle more ridiculous—or more contemptible—than that of the religious reactionaries who dare to re-write the history of our republic. Or who try to do so. Is it possible that, in their vanity and stupidity, they suppose that they can erase the name of Thomas Jefferson and replace it with the name of some faith-based mediocrity whose name is already obscure? If so, we cheerfully resolve to mock them, and to give them the lie in their teeth.

• No man can sincerely resolve to apply to his daily life the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth without sensing a change in his own nature. The phrase, 'born again', has a deeper significance than many people attach to it. This changed feeling may be indescribable, but it is real.

• My dear fellow,' Burlingame said, 'we sit here on a blind rock careening through space; we are all of us rushing headlong to the grave. Think you the worms will care, when anon they make a meal of you, whether you spent your moment sighing wigless in your chamber, or sacked the golden towns of Montezuma? Lookee, the day's nigh spent; 'tis gone careening into time forever. Not a tale's length past we lined our bowels with dinner, and already they growl for more. We are dying men, Ebenezer: i'faith, there's time for naught but bold resolves!
