G.K. Chesterton

If men could only know each other, they would never either idolize or hate.

Elbert Hubbard

For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.

Winston Churchill

I think the American people want a solemn ass as a president, and I think I’ll go along with them.

Calvin Coolidge

It is . . . nothing short of a miracle that the modern methods of instruction have not yet entirely strangled the holy curiosity of inquiry.

Albert Einstein

It’s easier to donate a few thousands to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement.

Ayn Rand

The Constitution was designed to keep government off the backs of the people.

William O. Douglas

The more you read and observe about this politics thing, you’ve got to admit that each party is worse than the other.

Will Rogers

Whittaker Chambers

Holy Bible

We delight in the beauty of butterfly, rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.

Maya Angelou

As the sun shines on mud and hardens it, and shines on wax and softens it, so too this great miracle of Our Blessed Lord hardened some unto unbelief, and softened others unto belief.

Fulton Sheen

Universal evidence unmistakably shows that the best results are always obtained in healthful commercial competition.

Nikola Tesla

William O. Douglas

Aristotle

The most intolerant advocate is he who is trying to convince himself.

Ambrose Bierce

Peter Kreeft

Just exactly what happened in the twentieth century, anyway? How was it that so many tens of millions had to die, sacrificed to the new dogmas and ideologies?

Jordan Peterson

As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Whoever knows what is right to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

James the Just

You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.

James Baldwin
