Quotes

This triangle of truisms, of father, mother[,] and child, cannot be destroyed; it can only destroy those civilizations which disregard it.

G. K. Chesterton

Philosophy [is] a route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing.

Ambrose Bierce

If the rights of the meek are to be preserved and the peace is to be enforced, the meek must stay strong. There is a critical moral difference between the peacemakers and the pacifists.

Paul Skousen

I tell you, on the day of judgment men will render account for every careless word they utter; for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Jesus Christ

There are only two kinds of people—those who think there are two kinds of people and those who don’t

Thomas Sowell

Socialism of any type leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death.

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

One can survive everything nowadays except death.

Oscar Wilde

Arithmetic is not an opinion.

Unknown

I have no knowledge of myself as I am, but merely as I appear to myself.

Immanuel Kant

The family, based on the marital commitment of husband and wife, is the original and best ministry of health, education, and welfare.

Robert George

I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million [Russians], I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: ‘Men have forgotten God . . . ’

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn

Natural endowment is far less consequential than the ability to use it productively, and that ability is an outcome of culture.

Ibn Warraq

I have never understood why it is ‘greed’ to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else’s money.

Thomas Sowell

For thou didst form my inward parts, thou didst knit me together in my mother’s womb.

Holy Bible

A robber is free to ransack a house when the owners are away, but it is absurd to say that he loves the owners because he is free to steal. The purest liberty is that which is given, not that which is taken.

Fulton Sheen

I will not cede more power to the state. I will not willingly cede more power to anyone. . . . I will hoard my power like a miser, resisting every effort to drain it away from me. I will then use my power, as I see fit.

William F. Buckley Jr.

The fabric of American empire ought to rest on the solid basis of THE CONSENT OF THE PEOPLE. The streams of national power ought to flow immediately from that pure, original fountain of all legitimate authority.

Alexander Hamilton

It was communism that was evil, and the more truly a man acted in its spirit and interest, the more certainly he perpetuated evil.

Whittaker Chambers

Never expect the worst, but always be ready for it anyway.

Scott Bradford
