• I regard it as a tragedy that people of a differing sexual orientation find themselves proscribed in a world that has so little understanding for homosexuals and that displays such gross indifference for sexual gradations and variations and the great significance they have for living. It is completely foreign to me to wish to regard such people as less valuable, less moral, incapable of noble sentiments and behavior.

• Cant is the voluntary overcharging or prolongation of a real sentiment; hypocrisy is the setting up a pretension to a feeling you never had and have no wish for.

• Reverence is an ennobling sentiment; it is felt to be degrading only by the vulgar mind, which would escape the sense of its own littleness by elevating itself into an antagonist of what is above it. He that has no pleasure in looking up is not fit so much as to look down. Of such minds are mannerists in Art; in the world, tyrants of all sorts.

• I endorse without reserve the much-abused sentiment of Gov. M'Duffie, that "slavery is the corner stone of our Republican edifice;" while I repudiate, as ridiculously absurd, that much-lauded but nowhere accredited dogma of Mr. Jefferson, that "all men are born equal.

• Cruelty, very far from being a vice, is the first sentiment Nature injects in us all. The infant breaks his toy, bites his nurse's breast, strangles his canary long before he is able to reason; cruelty is stamped in animals, in whom, as I think I have said, Nature's laws are more emphatically to be read than in ourselves; cruelty exists amongst savages, so much nearer to Nature than civilized men are; absurd then to maintain cruelty is a consequence of depravity. . . . Cruelty is simply the energy in a man civilization has not yet altogether corrupted: therefore it is a virtue, not a vice.

• The sole constitutional office of language being to express our ideas and sentiments, it becomes more and more perfect and useful, the more effectually it subserves this sole end of its creation.

• By that time it was already clear that the next prime minster was going to be Golda Meir, a woman whom I frankly detested - a mutual sentiment, I might add. I knew her as an opinionated, obstinate person, primitive in her outlook, rigid in her attitudes, with a genius for reaching and exploiting the deepest fears and prejudices of the Jewish masses. I was certain that with her as prime minister, all peace efforts would come to a total standstill.

• One part of love is innocence One part of love is guilt One part the milk that in a sense Is soured as soon as spilt One part of love is sentiment One part of love is lust One part is the presentiment Of our return to dust

• Perhaps the author cited is one of those, who, shunning the practice of the world, have taught the world to shun return! whose poetry is too finely spun, whose philosophy is too and mystified for popular demand: perhaps we have experienced feeling which Mr. Wordsworth alludes to, in a poem worthy of simplicity and loneliness of the sentiment "Often have I sighed to measure By myself a lonely pleasure; Sighed to think I read a book Only read perhaps by me!

• Quizá si lo decimos sin rodeos, sospechamos, si expresamos nuestros sentimientos de forma excesiva o demasiado directa, descubriremos que no somos más que banales.

• Estoy a favor de confiar la defensa interna a nuestra milicia sólo hasta que se produzca una invasión real, y a favor de una fuerza naval sólo que pueda proteger nuestras costas y puertos de depredaciones como las que hemos experimentado; y no a favor de un ejército permanente en tiempos de paz que pueda abrumar el sentimiento público; ni a favor de una marina que, por sus propios gastos y las guerras eternas en las que nos implicará, nos machacará con cargas públicas y nos hundirá bajo ellas.

• Escribir no es, ciertamente, un empleo desagradable, cuando un sentimiento produce fácilmente otro, y tanto las ideas como las expresiones se presentan a la primera llamada; pero tal felicidad, el genio más grande no siempre la obtiene; y los escritores comunes la conocen sólo en tal grado, como para creer en su posibilidad. La composición es, en su mayor parte, un esfuerzo de lenta diligencia y firme perseverancia, al que la mente se ve arrastrada por necesidad o resolución, y del que la atención parte a cada momento hacia diversiones más placenteras.

• Every man speaks and writes with intent to be understood; and it can seldom happen but he that understands himself, might convey his notions to another, if, content to be understood, he did not seek to be admired; but when once he begins to contrive how his sentiments may be received, not with most ease to his reader, but with most advantage to himself, he then transfers his consideration from words to sounds, from sentences to periods, and, as he grows more elegant, becomes less intelligible.

• Inglaterra es un país doméstico. Aquí se venera el hogar y el hogar es sagrado. La nación está representada por una familia, la familia real, y si esa familia es educada con un sentido de responsabilidad y un sentimiento del deber público, es difícil exagerar la saludable influencia que puede ejercer sobre una nación.

• La fe viene de dentro; es el estallido de la espontaneidad humana; es fuerza del alma, grandeza del sentimiento, magnanimidad, generosidad, valor. Sus fórmulas son naturalmente ininteligibles en su tenor literal; pues, de lo contrario, representarían lo que se conoce científicamente, y no serían el mero ropaje provisional de lo que no se da objetivamente, sino que se proyecta subjetivamente desde lo más íntimo del alma.

• The revolt against freedom, which can be traced back so far, is associated with a revolt against reason that [gives] sentiment primacy to evaluate actions and experiences according to the subjective emotions with which they are associated.

• It is odd that a value/virtue that plays such a central role in dramatic literature has played such a small role in philosophical writing. There are probably a number of reasons, but I think that a predilection for a certain kind of individualism is a major one. Others might include the fashionability of consequentialism, the idea that loyalty has more to do with sentiment than reason, as well as its proneness to corruption. The revival of interest in virtue/character as distinct from rules/principles has also created space for a renewed, if hesitant, interest in loyalty.

• Nor do we accept, as genuine the person not characterized by this blushing bashfulness, this youthfulness of heart, this sensibility to the sentiment of suavity and self-respect. Modesty is bred of self-reverence. Fine manners are the mantle of fair minds. None are truly great without this ornament.

• Hay ciertos tópicos que nunca se agotan. De algunas imágenes y sentimientos puede decirse que la mente del hombre está enamorada; se encuentra con ellos, por muy a menudo que ocurran, con el mismo ardor que un amante siente al ver a su amante, y se separa de ellos con el mismo pesar cuando ya no pueden ser disfrutados.

• La gran razón del estallido del sentimiento público en anatemas contra Cristo y sus discípulos, causando su crucifixión, se basaba evidentemente en la poligamia, según el testimonio de los filósofos que se levantaron en aquella época. La creencia en la doctrina de una pluralidad de esposas causó la persecución de Jesús y sus seguidores. Casi podríamos pensar que eran 'mormones'.
