• Society in its full sense ... is never an entity separable from the individuals who compose it.

Conversely, no civilization has in it any element which in the last analysis is not the contribution of an individual.

• Si hago algo, me gusta llevarlo al límite. Tengo un techo muy alto. Un umbral amplio para ver cuáles son esos límites para mí. Soy muy resistente por dentro.

No soy necesariamente un tipo que se vuelve adicto a más de ciertas cosas, pero si encuentro algo que me gusta hacer, me gusta apegarme a ello.

  Matthew McConaughey

• En mi familia, mi familia de gordos, ninguno de nosotros dice nunca la palabra "gordo". "Gordo" es la palabra que se oye gritar en el patio de recreo o en la calle; nunca se permite traspasar el umbral de casa. Mi madre no quiere esa suciedad en su casa. En casa, juntos, estamos seguros. ... Aquí no se dañan nuestros sentimientos porque nunca reconocemos que existe la gordura. Nunca nos referimos a nuestro tamaño. Somos los elefantes en la habitación.

• Love enters the heart unawares: takes precedence of all the emotions--or, at least, will be second to none--and even reflection becomes its accomplice. While it lives, it renders blind; and when it has struck its roots deep only itself can shake them. It reminds one of hospitality as practiced among the ancients. The stranger was received upon the threshold of the half-open door, and introduced into the sanctuary reserved for the Penates. Not until every attention had been lavished upon him did the host ask his name; and the question was sometimes deferred till the very moment of departure.

  Sophie Swetchine

  Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire

• Happy is that mother whose ability to help her children continues on from babyhood and manhood into maturity. Blessed is the son who need not leave his mother at the threshold of the world's activities, but may always and everywhere have her blessing and her help. Thrice blessed are the son and the mother between whom there exists an association not only physical and affectional, but spiritual and intellectual, and broad and wise as is the scope of each being.
