Quotes

Now we are masters in respect of to act and not to act, to will and not to will.

Thomas Aquinas

As an explanation of the world, materialism has a sort of insane simplicity. It has just the quality of the madman’s argument; we have at once the sense of it covering everything and the sense of it leaving everything out.

G. K. Chesterton

How is it possible for us to retain the advantages of simplification, without falling prey to the accompanying blindness? The answer is to be found in the constant dialogue between genuinely different types of people.

Jordan Peterson

If you are not a wild and crazy fanatic when it comes to giving yourself to God, you are not practicing the heart of Christianity. If you are a fanatic about anything else, you are an idolater.

Peter Kreeft

We should bear in mind that, in general, it is the object of our newspapers rather to create a sensation—to make a point—than to further the cause of truth. The latter end is only pursued when it seems coincident with the former.

Edgar Allan Poe

The best defense against usurpatory government is an assertive citizenry.

William F. Buckley Jr.

Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few engage in it.

Henry Ford

Indifference . . . is the epitome of evil.

Elie Wiesel

The Democrats seem to be basically nicer people, but they have demonstrated time and time again that they have the management skills of celery.

Dave Barry

Indeed, even unanimity of belief does not guarantee its correctness.

Robert George

It is the fault of our rhetoric that we cannot strongly state one fact without seeming to belie some other.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you are wise, mingle these two elements: do not hope without despair, or despair without hope.

Seneca the Younger

The Sacrament [of Confession] gives us a double dose of what we need: forgiveness of our sins and training in humility.

Jimmy Seghers

In despotic states men know not how to act, because they are told nothing; in democratic nations they often act at random, because nothing is to be left untold.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Executions, far from being useful examples to the survivors, have, I am persuaded, a quite contrary effect, by hardening the heart they ought to terrify.

Mary Wollstonecraft

Socialism is structured so that it will never achieve its stated goals. The reason is self-evident: Socialism is a self-perpetuating consumption of other people’s labors, and when those labors run out, the whole system collapses.

Paul Skousen

No free government under heaven, with a well disciplined militia, was ever yet subdued by mercenary troops.

Anonymous

Public opinion reigns in society because stupidity reigns amongst the stupid.

Nicolas Chamfort

The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.

Ezra Solomon

The central conservative truth is that it is culture, not politics, that determines the success of a society. The central liberal truth is that politics can change a culture and save it from itself.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan
