Quotes

I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse; therefore choose life, that you and your descendants may live, loving the LORD your God, obeying his voice, and cleaving to him . . .

Holy Bible

People who live their lives selfishly and at the detriment of others are often the ones who complain loudest about how badly they think they’ve been mistreated.

Scott Bradford

If A is success in life, then A = x + y + z. Work is x, play is y, and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

Carl Sagan

Jesus bluntly calls the evil person evil. If I am assailed, I am not to condone or justify aggression. Patient endurance of evil does not mean a recognition of its rights. That is sheer sentimentality, and Jesus will have nothing to do with it.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

When I hear anyone arguing for slavery, I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.

Abraham Lincoln

But you can be certain, you want-to-be tyrants, that your slaves will take their revenge where they can, even if that means merely being much less than they could be.

Jordan Peterson

The last two thousand million years are slow evolution: they are the smoke and ashes of bright but very rapid fireworks.

Georges Lemaître

Treat bad men exactly as if they were insane.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

U.S. Constitution

I die the king’s faithful servant, and God’s first.

Thomas More

The right of a nation to kill a tyrant, in cases of necessity, can no more be doubted, than to hang a robber, or kill a flea. But killing one tyrant only makes way for worse, unless the people have sense, spirit, and honesty enough to establish and support a constitution guarded at all points against the tyranny of the one, the few, and the many.

John Adams

They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me.

Jesus Christ

No matter how formidably communism bristles with tanks and rockets, no matter what successes it attains in seizing the planet, it is doomed never to vanquish Christianity.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Slavery . . . is . . . the most barbarous, unprovoked and unjustifiable war of one portion of its citizens against another portion.

John Brown

Rigorously pursued, the logic of rejecting the conjugal conception of marriage thus leads, by way of formlessness, toward pointlessness: it proposes a policy for which it can hardly explain the benefit.

Sherif Girgis

I am . . . quite cheerful in view of my approaching end . . . [and believe] I am worth inconceivably more to hang than any other purpose.

John Brown

Denying evil corrupts us spiritually and psychologically. Rationalizing our own evil is even more destructive.

U.S. Conf. of Catholic Bishops

Self-pity in its early stages is as snug as a feather mattress. Only when it hardens does it become uncomfortable.

Maya Angelou

Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws. . . .
