Quotes

Thomas Aquinas

Experience [is] the name men give to their mistakes.

Oscar Wilde

Really great moral teachers never do introduce new moralities: it is quacks and cranks who do that.

C.S. Lewis

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

Mary (Blessed Virgin)

When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen’s constitutional right to free speech, it acts lawlessly; and the citizen can take matters in his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all.

William O. Douglas

No one man, therefore, or any class of men, have a right, by the law of nature, or of God, to assume or exercise authority over their fellows.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Liberty has never yet lasted long in a democracy; nor has it ever ended in anything better than despotism.

Josemaría Escrivá

All our rulers have said that war is unthinkable, and then we think about it almost all the time. We’ve got to make it unthinkable.

Norman Thomas

When the law interferes with people’s pursuit of their own values, they will try to find a way around.

Milton Friedman

We are to pray for all mankind, without exception . . . ; for every man, be he enemy, stranger or infidel, is our neighbor, whom God commands us to love. . . .

Catholic Church

Economic planning on a national scale in a politically free society involves contradictions that cannot be resolved in practice.

Jim Powell

But these two dramas—becoming a Christian and becoming a Catholic—are two steps in the same process and in the same direction, like being born and growing up.

Peter Kreeft

Everybody has plans until they get hit for the first time.

Mike Tyson
