Quotes

Men elected for several years, several hundred miles distant from their states, possessed of very extensive powers, and the means of paying themselves, will not, probably, be oppressed with a sense of dependence and responsibility.

Anonymous

The monuments of wit survive the monuments of power.

Francis Bacon

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

John Paul II

The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Liberals make the same mistake and judge neither. But if you don’t judge the sin, you don’t care about the sinner. If you don’t hate the cancer, you don’t love the patient.

Peter Kreeft

Psychological knowledge has made us dull.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother is in the darkness still.

John the Apostle

The word love is, perhaps, the most misunderstood common word in the English language because in the popular understanding it is defined by feelings and attraction. Authentic love, in contrast, is an act of the will.

Jimmy Seghers

Because of indifference, one dies before one actually dies. To be in the window and watch people being sent to concentration camps or being attacked in the street and do nothing, that’s being dead.

Elie Wiesel

Untouched by the breath of God, unrestricted by human conscience, both capitalism and socialism are repulsive.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience, would have achieved success.

Elbert Hubbard

Christian morality and God’s law are not arbitrary, but are specifically given to us for our happiness.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

We are a nation that has a government—not the other way around.

Ronald Reagan

Our holy Scriptures themselves do not promise us peace, security, and rest. On the contrary, the Gospel makes no secret of the troubles and temptations that await us, but it also says that he who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Augustine of Hippo

When I say ‘follow your heart,’ it’s actually shorthand for ‘follow your heart unless your brain makes a reasonable objection.’

Scott Bradford

Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.

An Wang

And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, by what they had done.

John the Apostle

When the people are weak the state is strong; when the state is weak the people are strong.

Shang Yang

It cannot be absolutely or generally affirmed that the greatest danger of the present age is license or tyranny, anarchy or despotism. Both are equally to be feared. . . .

Alexis de Tocqueville

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.

William James

As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

James the Just
