Quotes

The fool says in his heart, ‘There is no God.’ They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none that does good.

Holy Bible

Western values—the basis of the West’s self-evident economic, social, political, scientific, and cultural success—are clearly superior to any other set of values devised by mankind.

Ibn Warraq

In all that follows I adopt the standpoint, therefore, that the inclination to aggression is an original, self-subsisting instinctual disposition in man, and I return to my view that it constitutes the greatest impediment to civilization.

Sigmund Freud

Work is sometimes its own reward. Mostly, however, it is the price we pay to get the things we want.

Milton Friedman

Maturity is not a matter of age. You have matured when you are no longer concerned with showing how clever you are, and give your full attention to getting the job done right. Many never reach that stage, no matter how old they get.

Thomas Sowell

But the mere fact that social order reigns to some degree does not mean that a given society has come to explicitly understand its own behavior, its own moral code.

Jordan Peterson

Appearance too often takes the place of reality—the stamp of the coin is there, and the glitter of the gold, but, after all, it is but a worthless wash.

William Jennings Bryan

Indeed, even unanimity of belief does not guarantee its correctness.

Robert George

Mass formation blinds both intelligent and less intelligent people to the same extent. People really don’t have to be part of a conspiracy to systematically make the most foolish mistakes.

Mattias Desmet

The whole idea of our government is this: If enough people get together and act in concert, they can take something and not pay for it.

P.J. O’Rourke

Be united to Christ in order to purify yourself, and together with him experience the insults, the spit, the blows and the thorns. . . .

Let the wise man guard his thoughts, for they are difficult to perceive, very artful, and they rush wherever they list: thoughts well guarded bring happiness.

Siddhartha Gautama

Asking an artist to talk about his work is like asking a plant to discuss horticulture.

Jean Cocteau

The nations which are favored by free institutions invariably find that their resources increase even more rapidly than their taxes.

Alexis de Tocqueville

The Church will . . . be intolerant about her creed, and be ready to die for it, for she fears not those who kill the body, but rather those who have the power to cast body and soul into hell.

Fulton Sheen

Restricted immigration is not an offensive but purely a defensive action. It is not adopted in criticism of others in the slightest degree, but solely for the purpose of protecting ourselves.

Calvin Coolidge

Each woman virtually summons every man to show cause why he doth not love her.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

One can shuffle inanimate objects around; one can compel individuals to be at certain places at certain times; but one can hardly compel individuals to put forward their best efforts.

Milton Friedman

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it’s stored than to anything on which it’s poured.

Anonymous

Normally the man of great productive capacity who becomes rich by guiding the labor of many other men does so by enabling them to produce more than they could produce without his guidance; and both he and they share in the benefit, which comes also to the public at large.
