• Ya os he insinuado el peligro de los partidos en el estado, con especial referencia a la fundación de los mismos sobre discriminaciones geográficas.

• To make a covenant with the Lord to always keep His commandments is a serious obligation, and to renew that covenant by partaking of the sacrament is equally serious. The solemn moments of thought while the sacrament is being served have great significance. They are moments of self-examination, introspection, self-discernment...a time to reflect and to resolve.

  Howard W. Hunter

• Human cruelty took the form of a pact with the deity. A solemn oath was made to kill everything, in which people forbade themselves any display of reason or compassion. A city or a land was devoted to destruction and it was believed an insult to God if one did not observe the abominable oath.

• From what cause the rite of baptism first proceeded is not expressed formally in the scripture, but it may be probably thought to be an imitation of the law of Moses concerning leprosy, wherein the leprous man was commanded to be kept out of the camp of Israel for a certain time, after which time being judged by the priest to be clean, he was admitted into the camp after a solemn washing. And this may therefore be a type of the washing in baptism, wherein such men as are cleansed of the leprosy of Sin by Faith, are received into the church with the solemnity of baptism.

• Perhaps the mistake I made at the start of my mandate is not understanding the symbolic dimension of the president's role and not being solemn enough in my acts. A mistake for which I would like to apologise or explain myself and which I will not make again. Now, I know the job.

• Whatever may be the judgement pronounced on the competency of the architects of the Constitution, or whatever may be the destiny of the edifice prepared by them, I feel it a duty to express my profound and solemn conviction . . . that there never was an assembly of men, charged with a great and arduous trust, who were more pure in their motives, or more exclusively or anxiously devoted to the object committed to them.

• Los bancos, las iglesias y los tribunales dependen de los accesorios del teatro. De la ilusión. Los bancos, la ilusión de estabilidad y trato honorable ante la podredumbre y la corrupción de la explotación capitalista. Las iglesias, la ilusión de santuario sagrado para apaciguar el descontento social. Las salas de los tribunales, por supuesto, diseñadas para promover la ilusión de una justicia solemne. Si hubiera verdadera justicia, ¿por qué serían necesarios tales adornos? ¿No servirían igualmente una mesa y unas sillas y una sala ordinaria?

• El egoísmo es a menudo la base de los problemas de dinero, que son un factor muy serio y real que afecta a la estabilidad de la vida familiar. El egoísmo está en la raíz del adulterio, la ruptura de pactos solemnes y sagrados para satisfacer la lujuria egoísta. El egoísmo es la antítesis del amor. Es la expresión de la codicia. Destruye la autodisciplina. Aniquila la lealtad. Destruye los pactos sagrados. Aflige tanto a hombres como a mujeres.

  Gordon B. Hinckley

(Los alemanes tienen tanto derecho a declarar a los polacos y a los judíos alimañas exterminables, infrahumanos, como nosotros a seleccionar a los alemanes: en otras palabras, ningún derecho, hayan hecho lo que hayan hecho.

• (Speaking of the Cistercian monks) A grim fraternity, passing grim lives in that sweet spot, that God had made so bright! Strange that Nature's voices all around them--the soft singing of the waters, the wisperings of the river grass, the music of the rushing wind--should not have taught them a truer meaning of life than this. They listened there, through the long days, in silence, waiting for a voice from heaven; and all day long and through the solemn night it spoke to them in myriad tones, and they heard it not.

• Many of the rites of passage, those rituals of growing up found in our society, are in the form of such comic, practical joking affairs--which we ignore in the belief that they possess no deeper significance. Yet it is precisely in their being regarded as unimportant that they take on importance. For in them we ritualize and dramatize attitudes which contradict and often embarrass the sacred values which we proclaim through our solemn ceremonies and rituals of nationhood.

• El béisbol tiene que ser divertido, y ni todos los solemnes hombres de dinero con abrigos de cuello de piel, ni todos los desaliñados camarógrafos de los medios de comunicación y los reporteros de cara amarga que se agolpan alrededor de los banquillos pueden sofocar la estimulante amplitud y gracia de este deporte impúdicamente relajado, un juego de innumerables redenciones potenciales y curiosas decepciones.

• La noche triste y solemne tiene aún su multitud de alegres fuegos;
  La gloriosa hueste de luz recorre el oscuro hemisferio hasta que ella se retira;
  A través de sus silenciosas vigilias, deslizándose lentamente,
  Sus constelaciones vienen, suben a los cielos y se van.
