• La mente inmortal, superior a su destino, en medio del ultraje de las cosas externas, firme como la sólida base de este gran mundo, descansa sobre sus propios cimientos. ¡Soplad, vientos! Olas, truenos, haced rodar vuestras tempestades. ¡Temblad, viejos pilares del cielo de mármol! Hasta que sus orbes y todos sus mundos de fuego se desprendan de sus asientos; sin embargo, todavía serena, la mente invicta mira hacia abajo sobre el naufragio; y cada vez más fuerte a medida que avanzan las tormentas, firme a través de la ruina cerrada mantiene su camino, cuando la naturaleza lo llama a la meta destinada.

• I like the line leading up to that: "I made your daughter the lead dancer, and you're not committed!" It's how people in their own little narrow worlds get so bent out of shape over the silliest things. I've seen it all my life, especially growing up in the South - the tempest in a teapot.

• It is a pleasure to stand upon the shore, and to see ships tost upon the sea: a pleasure to stand in the window of a castle, and to see a battle and the adventures thereof below: but no pleasure is comparable to standing upon the vantage ground of truth . . . and to see the errors, and wanderings, and mists, and tempests, in the vale below.

• Las glorias y las bellezas de la forma, el color y el sonido se unen en el Gran Cañón: formas que no tienen rival ni siquiera en las montañas, colores que rivalizan con las puestas de sol y sonidos que abarcan el diapasón desde la tempestad hasta el tintineo de la gota de lluvia; desde la catarata hasta la fuente burbujeante.

• Prayer is the peace of our spirit, the stillness of our thoughts, the evenness of recollection, the seat of meditation, the rest of our cares and the calm of our tempest; prayer is the issue of a quiet mind, of untroubled thoughts, it is the daughter of charity, and the sister of meekness.

• O ye by wandering tempest sown
  'Neath every alien star,
  Forget not whence the breath was blown
  That wafted you afar!
  For ye are still her ancient seed
  On younger soil let fall—
  Children of Britain's island-breed,
  To whom the Mother in her need
  Perchance may one day call.

• As children, we had access to all the open space imaginable. We would set up camps in rural Utah where the Tempest Company was at work laying pipe. We spent time around the West in Wyoming, Idaho, Nevada, and Colorado. Wild beautiful places. Now, many of these natural places have disappeared under the press of development.

• In order to enter into a real knowledge of your condition, consider it in this image: A man was cast by a tempest upon an unknown island, the inhabitants of which were in trouble to find
  their king, who was lost; and having a strong resemblance both in form and face to this king, he was taken for him, and acknowledged in this capacity by all the people.

• Unos años más rodarán,
  Unas cuantas estaciones más vendrán;
  Y estaremos con aquellos que descansan,
  Dormidos en la tumba.
  Unas pocas tormentas más golpearán
  En esta salvaje costa rocosa;
  Y estaremos donde cesan las tempestades,
  Y las olas no se hinchan más.
  Unas pocas luchas más aquí,
  Unas cuantas separaciones más,
  Unos pocos esfuerzos más, unas pocas lágrimas más,
  Y no lloraremos más.
  Entonces, Señor mío, prepara
  Mi alma para ese día bendito;
  Oh, lávame con tu preciosa sangre,
  y quita mis pecados.

  Horacio Bonar
