Quotes

Every now and then a man’s mind is stretched by a new idea or sensation, and never shrinks back to its former dimensions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

We believe that every person is precious, that people are more important than things, and that the measure of every institution is whether it threatens or enhances the life and dignity of the human person.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

From the very beginning in the womb of a woman, until the very last moment when a person’s breath speaks of his or her presence in the world, this life is human, even if it develops into an immense array of conditions of weakness [and] suffering. . . .

Rino Fisichella

No Reformer believed in private interpretation of Scripture, but they had no clear way to discern whose interpretation was the correct one. [They] quickly discovered that casting off Rome’s authority solved one problem but created another.

Rod Dreher

Probably the earliest fly swatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick.

Jack Handey

Impartial justice consists not in being neutral between right and wrong, but in finding out the right and upholding it, wherever found, against the wrong.

Teddy Roosevelt

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus Christ

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

But eventually I came to accept the truth: I am overweight. This is not my fault. My body, without consulting me, has been converting the food I eat into fat, as opposed to something I can actually use, such as toothpaste.

Dave Barry

God reigneth. All is well.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

I work until beer o’clock.

Stephen King

Organic life . . . developed gradually from the protozoon to the philosopher, and this development, we are assured, is indubitably an advance. Unfortunately it is the philosopher, not the protozoon, who gives us this assurance.

Bertrand Russell

If you hate your lot but wouldn’t trade it, it’s not your lot you hate.

Mignon McLaughlin

At any rate, while I am in public life, however short a time it may be, I am in honor bound to act up to my beliefs and convictions.

Teddy Roosevelt

There is no intrinsic conflict between science and religion.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

Better to be disliked than pitied.

Abba Eban

There is one God, and one Christ, and one Church, and one chair founded by the voice of the Lord on the rock. . . . Whoever gathers elsewhere scatters.

Cyprian of Carthage

If you want to read a perfect book there is only one way: Write it.

Ambrose Bierce

If infant baptism were not right, then for one thousand years there was no baptism and no Christian church.

Martin Luther

No well-regulated community ever existed long, if at all, where there were many laws.

Martin Luther
