• Nunca des por sentado que la persona con la que tratas es más débil o menos importante que tú. Algunas personas tardan en ofenderse, lo que puede hacer que juzgues mal el grosor de su piel y no te preocupes por insultarlas. Pero si ofendes su honor y su orgullo, te abrumarán con una violencia que parece repentina y extrema dada su lentitud para enfadarse. Si quieres rechazar a alguien, lo mejor es que lo hagas con educación y respeto, aunque te parezca que su petición es insolente o su oferta ridícula.

• Today, luxury resides in everything that is becoming rare: communion with nature, silence, meditation, slowness rediscovered, the pleasure of living out of step with others, studious idleness, the enjoyment of the major works of the mind–these are all privileges that cannot be bought because they are literally priceless.

• Sin does not always drive us to drink; more often it drives us to exhaustion. Tiredness is equally as debilitating as drunkenness. Burnout is slang for an inner tiredness, a fatigue of our souls. Jesus came to forgive us all of our sins, including the sin of busyness. The problem with growth in the modern church is not the slowness of growth but the rushing of growth.
