"All cruelty springs from weakness."

~Seneca


"Death is the only serious preoccupation of a man."

~Alexandre Dumas


"As man moves away from order, anguish presses around him. He is the king of his own misery, a degraded sovereign in revolt against himself, without duties, without bonds, without society.

Alone, in the midst of the universe, he runs, or rather he seeks to run, into nothingness.”

~Félicité de La Mennais

"If civilized man falls into disbelief and immorality, the way is prepared for some gigantic and colossal tyrant, universal and immense."

~Juan Donoso Cortés


1 Corinthians 2:1-5

And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.


"All men make mistakes, but a good man yields when he knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil. The only crime is pride."

~Sophocles


"The greatest happiness is to know the source of unhappiness."

~Fyodor Dostoyevsky


"A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul."

~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe


"Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it."

~Saint Augustine of Hippo

"All persons ought to endeavor to follow what is right, and not what is established."

~Aristotle


"To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable."

~C.S. Lewis


"Every noble crown is, and on Earth will forever be, a crown of thorns."

~Thomas Carlyle


"The poor have been rebels, but they have never been anarchists; they have more interest than anyone else in there being some decent government. The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always been objected to being governed at all."

“I tell you I am sometimes sick of my trade when I see how perpetually it means merely a war upon the ignorant and the desperate...We say that the dangerous criminal is the educated criminal. We say that the most dangerous criminal now is the entirely lawless modern philosopher. Compared to him, burglars and bigamists are essentially moral men; my heart goes out to them." - Police officer

"When duty and religion are really destroyed, it will be the rich."

~G. K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday


"Conservatism starts from a sentiment that all mature people can readily share: the sentiment that good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created."

~Roger Scruton


"The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions, but by iron and blood."

~Otto von Bismarck


"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone."

~Blaise Pascal


"Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind."

~Cicero


"Christ did not come into the world to eliminate suffering. Christ has not come into the world not even to explain it. Rather, He came to fill human suffering with His presence."

~Fr. George Calciu (quoting Paul Claudel)


"You cannot have a proud and chivalrous spirit if your conduct is mean and paltry; for whatever a man's actions are, such must be his spirit."

~Demosthenes


"I've never aspired to be more than a dreamer. I paid no attention to those who spoke to me of living. I've always belonged to what isn't where I am and to what I could never be."

~Fernando Pessoa
