Quotes

When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.

Thomas Sowell

It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. In this life we get nothing save by effort.

Teddy Roosevelt

[Einstein] said, in effect, that everything should be as simple as it can be but not simpler!

Roger Sessions

Groups are grammatical fictions; only individuals exist, and each individual is different.

Robert Anton Wilson

I do not promise you happiness in this world, but in the next.

Mary (Blessed Virgin)

Francis (Pope)

Genius is often only the power of making continuous efforts.

Elbert Hubbard

The laws of God, like the law of gravity, do not depend upon how I feel about them. They are inexorable, and God has willed them to be knowable, even in the absence of strong emotion or apparent miracles.

Scott Hahn

Albert Einstein

The basic requirement for the understanding of the politics of change is to recognize the world as it is. We must work with it on its terms if we are to change it to the kind of world we would like it to be.

Saul Alinsky

Some people think God is infinitely demanding. Some think he is infinitely forgiving. He is both.

Scott Bradford

Those who are most prone to idealize the objectivity of scientists are people who know almost nothing about science, people for whom it has become a kind of religion, their hope of salvation.

Rupert Sheldrake

Posterity! . . . I hope you will make a good use of [your freedom]. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven, that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.

John Adams

Although it has been said that every generation grows wiser and wiser, yet we have no reason to think they grow better and better.

Anonymous

Some dogma, we are told, was credible in the twelfth century, but is not credible in the twentieth. You might as well say that a certain philosophy can be believed on Mondays, but cannot be believed on Tuesdays.

G.K. Chesterton

The ancient world did in fact experience the birth of Christianity as a liberation from the fear of demons that, in spite of skepticism and enlightenment, was all-pervasive at the time.

Benedict XVI

If you happen to be a human being—and many of my readers are—you are wrong about all sorts of things more often than you admit, and more often than you remember.

Scott Adams

It’s all well and good to say that reality exists only in one’s mind, but those who believe it should still look both ways before crossing the street.
