• Para los entendimientos mezquinos, es suficiente honor ser contados entre los más bajos trabajadores del saber; pero diferentes habilidades deben encontrar diferentes tareas.

• ¿Debe patentarse un invento o donarse libremente al público? He conocido a algunos hombres de ciencia bienintencionados... que miran con recelo el patentamiento de inventos, como si fuera un acto bastante egoísta y descortés, esencialmente indigno. La respuesta es muy sencilla. Publique un invento libremente, y casi seguro que morirá por falta de interés en su desarrollo. No se desarrollará y el mundo no se beneficiará. Paténtelo y, si es valioso, será aceptado y se convertirá en un negocio.

• América es un país grande y su pueblo no ha mostrado hasta ahora mucho interés por los grandes problemas internacionales, entre los cuales el problema del desarme ocupa hoy el primer lugar. Esto debe cambiar, aunque sólo sea por el propio interés de América. La última guerra ha demostrado que ya no existen barreras entre los continentes y que los destinos de todos los países están estrechamente entrelazados. El pueblo de este país debe darse cuenta de que tiene una gran responsabilidad en la esfera de la política internacional. El papel de espectador pasivo es indigno de este país y está abocado al desastre.

• You are supposed to look at the unimproved and think about the way that we dismiss so-called 'chavs' and certain immigrant classes that are considered unworthy, the "undeserving poor". Those kind of prejudices are getting worse.

• Indeed, the very first acknowledgment (as far as I am aware) of the attraction of mutilated bodies occurs in a founding description of mental conflict. It is a passage in The Republic, Book IV, where Plato’s Socrates describes how our reason may be overwhelmed by an unworthy desire, which drives the self to become angry with a part of its nature.

• Those who would administer [charity] wisely must, indeed, be wise, for one of the serious obstacles to the improvement of our race is indiscriminate charity. It were better for mankind that the millions of the rich were thrown into the sea than spent to encourage the slothful, the drunken, the unworthy. Of every thousand dollars spent in so-called charity today, it is probable that nine hundred and fifty dollars is unwisely spent - so spent, indeed, as to produce the very evils which it hopes to mitigate or cure.

• It is easy to distinguish between the joking that reflects good breeding and that which is coarse-the one, if aired at an apposite moment of mental relaxation, is becoming in the most serious of men, whereas the other is unworthy of any free person, if the content is indecent or the expression obscene.

• Si un amigo mío diera un banquete y no me invitara a él, no me importaría lo más mínimo; pero si un amigo mío tuviera una pena y se negara a permitirme compartirla, lo sentiría con la mayor amargura. Si me cerrara las puertas de la casa del luto, retrocedería una y otra vez y rogaría que me admitiera para poder compartir lo que me correspondiera. Si me consideraba indigno, incapaz de llorar con él, lo sentiría como la más conmovedora humillación.

• No creo que pueda creer realmente en el Juicio Final; difícilmente podría creer en premios y castigos, en el cielo o en el infierno. Como escribí en uno de mis sonetos -parece que siempre estoy plagiando, imitándome a mí mismo o a alguien más- creo que soy bastante indigno del cielo o del infierno, e incluso de la inmortalidad.

• If only we could love ourselves enough to dare to approach God, what constructive dreams he would give us! What noble possibilities God wants to reveal to us - possibilities that would offer stimulation plus real security in service. But we feel too unworthy. So one layer of negative behavior is laid upon another until we emerge as rebellious sinners. But our rebellion is a reaction, not our nature. By nature we are fearful, not bad.

• There are times when I, without willing it, mount to the height of contemplation; with my will I am drawn down from it because of the limitations of human nature and [find] safety in abasement. I know many things that are unknown to most men, yet I am more ignorant than all others. I rejoice because Christ, 'whom I have believed' (II Tim. 1:12), has bestowed on me an eternal and unshakable kingdom, yet I constantly weep as one who is unworthy of that which is above, and I cease not.

• But some most worthless persons are in the habit of carrying about the name of Jesus Christ in wicked guile, while yet they practice things unworthy of God, and hold opinions contrary to the doctrine of Christ, to their own destruction, and that of those who give credit to them, whom you must avoid as ye would wild beasts.
