  Gordon B. Hinckley

• It wasn't government that gave us nearly 50 million uninsured Americans and denials for pre-existing conditions. It wasn't government that gave us the yearly and lifetime caps on insurance coverage that have sent so many people into bankruptcy when they've faced a serious illness or accident... It wasn't government that gave us a system in which the gap between what we spend and what we get is so enormous. It was the free market.

• Have you ever observed somebody go through a religious conversion? The person seems perfectly reasonable to you and has no particular concern for religion. Then a parent, friend or child dies or he gets a serious illness or is involved in a car accident. In just a matter of weeks, he seeks out and finds the answers to all of life's questions and starts studying and spouting all sorts of doctrine. During such a window of vulnerability, religion can commandeer a person's brain.

• You are someone who is different, but who wants to be the same as everyone else. And that in my view is a serious illness. God chose you to be different. Why are you disappointing God with this kind of attitude?

• Es importante entrar en el trabajo que te gustaría hacer. Entonces no parece trabajo. A veces sientes que es demasiado bueno para ser verdad que alguien te pague por disfrutar. He tenido mucha suerte de que mi trabajo diera lugar a fármacos útiles para diversas enfermedades graves. La emoción de ver recuperarse a personas que, de otro modo, habrían muerto de enfermedades como la leucemia, la insuficiencia renal y la encefalitis por herpes virus no se puede describir con palabras.

• I've seen people recover physical abilities, yet never get over emotional trauma after a serious accident. I've seen other people overcome the psychological and emotional trauma of a serious illness even though they may never fully regain their physical capabilities. Which is the greater healing? Which is the better recovery? If I had the option of choosing between a mediocre life with eyesight or the life I have today, even though I am blind, I'd stay blind and keep the life I have.

• ... el hombre no nació como un animal carnívoro, sino que nació para vivir de los frutos y las hierbas que cultiva la tierra. Sé que todos debemos equivocarnos. Yo renunciaría a la leche si pudiera, pero no puedo. He hecho ese experimento infinidad de veces. Después de una grave enfermedad, sólo pude recuperar mis fuerzas si volvía a la leche. Esa ha sido la tragedia de mi vida. Pero la base de mi vegetarianismo no es física, sino moral. Si alguien me dijera que debo morir si no tomo té de carne o cordero, incluso por consejo médico, preferiría la muerte. Esa es la base de mi vegetarianismo.

• As an entrepreneur, I knew that if my company failed, I could always try again. So I often felt that the only real risk of true financial ruin came from the possibility of a serious illness that either exceeded my insurance plans lifetime limits, or was not covered due to rescission.
