Quotes

Servitude cannot be complete if the press is free: the press is the chiefest democratic instrument of freedom.

Alexis de Tocqueville

Very few people believe in the devil these days, which suits the devil very well. He is always helping to circulate the news of his own death.

Fulton Sheen

Reason can be fought with reason. How are you going to fight the unreasonable?

Ayn Rand

The fault of others is easily perceived, but that of one’s self is difficult to perceive; a man winnows his neighbor’s faults like chaff, but his own fault he hides, as a cheat hides the bad die from the player.

Siddhartha Gautama

A car is useless in New York, essential everywhere else. The same with good manners.

Mignon McLaughlin

To believe in the brotherhood of man without the fatherhood of God would make men a race of bastards.

Fulton Sheen

A single ray of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature.

Nikola Tesla

Any one who goes ahead and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God; he who abides in the doctrine has both the Father and the Son.

John the Apostle

I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence.

Mahatma Gandhi

Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense.

Mignon McLaughlin

Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own hearts.

Teddy Roosevelt

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

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

Earnest among the thoughtless, awake among the sleepers, the wise man advances like a racer, leaving behind the hack.

Siddhartha Gautama

We must not seek martyrdom, though we must endure it when it comes.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

Do what we can and God will do the rest. What seems so impossible to nature is quite easy to grace.

Elizabeth Ann Seton

But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or a thief, or a wrongdoer, or a mischief-maker; yet if one suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but under that name let him glorify God.

Peter the Apostle

Then they will deliver you up to tribulation, and put you to death; and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. . . . And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray.

Jesus Christ

The neurotic has perfect vision in one eye, but he cannot remember which.

Mignon McLaughlin

We shall see hereafter that in America the real strength of the country is vested in the provincial far more than in the federal government.
