If men will not be governed by the Ten Commandments, they shall be governed by ten thousand commandments.
Ten Commandments, Law, Secularism0We shall soon be in a world in which a man may be howled down for saying that two and two make four, in which people will persecute the heresy of calling a triangle a three-sided figure, and hang a man for maddening a mob with the news that grass is green.
Truth, Relativism0The State did not own men so entirely, even when it could send them to the stake, as it sometimes does now where it can send them to the elementary school.
Statism, Education, Indoctrination0It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.
Evolution, Creation0Fallacies do not cease to be fallacies because they become fashions.
Truth, Logical Fallacies0Merely having an open mind is nothing. The object of opening the mind, as of the opening of the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.
Truth, Openness0A man is angry at a libel because it is false, but at a satire because it is true.
Speech, Truth0If there were no God, there would be no atheists.
Atheism, Apologetics0And though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators.
Revelation, Commentaries0The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.
Wonder, Creation0What embitters the world is not excess of criticism, but an absence of self-criticism.
Criticism, Self0We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man's terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God.
God's Wrath, Fear of God0Love is not blind; that is the last thing that it is. Love is bound; and the more it is bound the less it is blind.
Love0The word "good" has many meanings. For example, if a man were to shoot his grandmother at a range of five hundred yards, I should call him a good shot, but not necessarily a good man.
Goodness, Truth0Do not be so open-minded that your brains fall out.
Thought, Thinking0To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.
Forgiveness, Faith, Hope0I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought; and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.
Thankfulness, Happiness, Wonder0The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult; and left untried.
Religion, Faith0There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
Possessions, Contentment0Humility looks upon another's virtues and its own infirmities.
Humility0He that is little in his own eyes will not be troubled to be little in the eyes of others.
Humility0Humility is both a grace and a vessel to receive grace.
Humility0Humility will make you easy and contented in every condition of life. You will then be ready to be commanded, easy to be pleased, hard to be provoked, and generally beloved. A humble mind thinks every good it receives more than it deserves, and every evil less. It will not think itself too great or too good to stoop to the meanest services of an honest employment nor be wanting in a modest and respectful behavior to others.
Humility0Humility imports a deep sense of our own weakness with a hearty and affectionate acknowledgment of our owing all that we are to the divine bounty, which is always accompanied with a profound submission to the will of God and great deadness toward the glory of the world and applause of men.
Humility0Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.
