Quotes

The Church does not derive from human will, from reflection, from man’s ability and organizational capacity . . . if that were so it would have become extinct a long time ago, like all human things.

Benedict XVI

People almost invariably arrive at their beliefs not on the basis of proof but on the basis of what they find attractive.

Blaise Pascal

Do not follow the evil law! Do not live on in thoughtlessness! Do not follow false doctrine! Be not a friend of the world.

The strange American ardor for passing laws, the insane belief in regulation and punishment, plays into the hands of the reformers, most of them quacks themselves.

H.L. Mencken

Everyone has the right to a nationality. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.

A great memory does not make a philosopher, any more than a dictionary can be called grammar.

John Henry Newman

Ideally, science is a process, not a position or a belief system.

Rupert Sheldrake

Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess is why several of us died of tuberculosis.

Jack Handey

The most disadvantageous peace is better than the most just war.

Erasmus

Let us therefore continue united in the cause of rational liberty. Let unity and liberty be our mark as well as our motto. For only such an union can secure our freedom; and division will inevitably destroy it.

Anonymous

Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned; forgive, and you will be forgiven. . . .

Jesus Christ

The sad truth of the matter is that most evil is done by people who never made up their minds to be or do either evil or good.
