WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE

I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush, and tyranny tremble at patience.

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

Too many people get credit for being good, when they are only being passive. They are too often praised for being broadminded when they are so broadminded they can never make up their minds about anything. ― Fulton J. Sheen

Liberals claim to want to give a hearing to other views, but then are shocked and offended to discover that there are other views. — William F. Buckley, Jr.

We should recognize that women become mothers the moment they are pregnant. — Alveda King

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

Justice without force is powerless; force without justice is tyrannical. — Blaise Pascal

Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves. — 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

Liturgy is the Church worshipping God, and the heart of the liturgy is worshipping God as He wants to be worshipped. — Francis Cardinal George

POPE LEO XIV Magnifica Humanitas

Even in the darkest nights, the Lord raises up men and women who refuse to give up, who persevere in doing good, who protect the vulnerable and open pathways to reconciliation. The memory of the saints, righteous people and the oft-forgotten peacemakers, show us that grace does not magically eliminate conflict, but instead it inspires active resistance to evil and an astonishing creativity in doing good” (paragraph 211).

THOMAS SOWELL

It is bad enough that so many people believe things without any evidence. What is worse is that some people have no conception of evidence and regard facts as just someone else's opinion.
