Quotes

But do we not sometimes hear the thief contend that he is not guilty of sin, because he steals from the rich and the wealthy, who, in his mind, not only suffer no injury, but do not even feel the loss? Such an excuse is as wretched as it is baneful.

Catholic Church

Our holy Scriptures themselves do not promise us peace, security and rest. On the contrary, the Gospel makes no secret of the troubles and temptations that await us, but it also says that he who perseveres to the end will be saved.

Augustine of Hippo

Few Christian doctrines are taught in the Bible as clearly and as explicitly as is the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.

Jimmy Seghers

You simply cannot invent any conspiracy theory so ridiculous and obviously satirical that some people somewhere don’t already believe it.

Robert Anton Wilson

Under this authority, Congress may mortgage any or all the revenues of the union, . . . [and] create a national debt, so large, as to exceed the ability of the country ever to sink. I can scarcely contemplate a greater calamity that could befall this country, than to be loaded with a debt exceeding their ability ever to discharge.

Robert Yates

There may have been . . . some kind of clodhoppers who believed that every legend was true. But we shall be a much stupider kind of clodhoppers if we believe that every legend is legendary.

G. K. Chesterton

Elbert Hubbard

Unknown

The power of the will does not extend to making opposites exist at the same time.

A liberal is fundamentally fearful of concentrated power. His objective is to preserve the maximum degree of freedom for each individual separately that is compatible with one man’s freedom not interfering with other men’s freedom.

Universal Dec. of Human Rights

When a man has lived in a dark cave for years, his eyes cannot stand the light of the sun; so the man who refuses to repent turns against mercy.
