Quoting Sanity
An individualism and subjectivism that divorce us from nature and make each of us the measure of all things make human nature and natural human goods vanish in favour of the arbitrary choices of individuals. — definition adapted from an article by James Kalb at Catholic World Report.
When you break the big laws, you do not get liberty; you do not even get anarchy. You get the small laws. — G.K. Chesterton

Liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith. — Alexis de Tocqueville

Chastity includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom. The alternative is clear: either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy. "Man's dignity therefore requires him to act out of conscious and free choice, as moved and drawn in a personal way from within, and not by blind impulses in himself or by mere external constraint. Man gains such dignity when, ridding himself of all slavery to the passions, he presses forward to his goal by freely choosing what is good and, by his diligence and skill, effectively secures for himself the means suited to this end." — Catechism of the Catholic Church
We cannot build up the idea of the apostolate of the laity without the foundation of the liturgy. — Dorothy Day
