Quotes

Las Vegas is the only town in the world whose skyline is made up . . . [of] signs.

Tom Wolfe

The value of the poem is in . . . elevating excitement. But all excitements are, through a psychal necessity, transient.

Edgar Allan Poe

Wait not until your hidden sins come out as psychoses and neuroses and compulsions. Get rid of them at their sources. Repent! Purge! Evil that can be . . . locked in jails, is too late to remedy.

Fulton Sheen

A beast gnawing at its prey can be happy . . . , but only human beings can feel affection for each other, and this is the highest achievement they can aspire to.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Only crime and the criminal . . . confront us with the perplexity of radical evil; but only the hypocrite is really rotten to the core.

Hannah Arendt

If a bigot says in public often enough that racism is evil, the bigot is self-influencing himself to be less racist. We are better off encouraging insincere but positive opinions, because they are self-fulfilling to a degree. Reward what works.

Scott Adams

We may have, for the first president, and perhaps, one in a century or two afterwards . . . a great and good man, governed by superior motives; but these are not events to be calculated upon in the present state of human nature.

Richard Henry Lee

To countenance abortion is not to respect women’s ‘privacy’ or liberty; it is to suppose that some people have the right to decide whether others will live or die.

Robert George

This country, with its institutions, belongs to the people who inhabit it. Whenever they shall grow weary of the existing Government, they can exercise their constitutional right of amending it or their revolutionary right to dismember or overthrow it.

Abraham Lincoln

If the creative artist worries if he will still be free tomorrow, then he will not be free today.

Salman Rushdie

Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.

Universal Dec. of Human Rights

I don’t take drugs, I am the drug.

Salvador Dalí

God prefers a loving sinner to a loveless ‘saint.’ Love can be trained; pride cannot.

Fulton Sheen

Broadmindedness, when it means indifference to right and wrong, eventually ends in a hatred of what is right.

Fulton Sheen

I had rather be a free citizen of the small republic of Massachusetts, than an oppressed subject of the great American empire.

Anonymous

I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them.

Bernard Shaw

Every culture agrees, in general terms, that good is to be done and evil avoided.

Scott Hahn

It is infinitely better to have a few good men than many indifferent ones.

George Washington

It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

Anne Frank

Let us therefore continue united in the cause of rational liberty. Let unity and liberty be our mark as well as our motto. For only such an union can secure our freedom; and division will inevitably destroy it.
