Image
Increasingly, I wonder if there are any outrages that would be sufficiently ominous in their effects upon liberty and unequivocal in their moral perversity to awaken the American people to the tyrannical spirit that envelopes the Clinton White House.
Alan Keyes
Image
You can't build marriage on a foundation of selfish hedonism, because that would be to promise people only roses, and marriage is also thorns.
Alan Keyes
Image
When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.
Alan Keyes
Image
A nation of character is filled with citizens who gradually build lives based on the living awareness that their deeds are judged by eyes of unchanging truth, by a will that is the real measure of what is right, and therefore of what is good.
Alan Keyes
Image
We must teach our children that the preservation of liberty, and of an order of society conducive to human dignity, requires that a free people retain the moral and material means to discipline its own government, should the temptation to tyranny take root.
Alan Keyes
Image
Freedom does not mean doing what you can get away with, doing what you please. It means, instead, having the opportunity to do what you ought to do--for family, and for community, and for humanity as a whole.

I personally do not owe the debt that was owed by the campaign.

If the Declaration of Independence states our creed, there can be no right to abortion, since it means denying the most fundamental right of all to the unborn child, the right to life.
Alan Keyes
Image
Black Americans make up 10 or 11% of the population, but they account now for something of 40 to 45% of all the abortions. This is a privileged position that I'm not sure anyone in their right mind would aspire to.

Our leaders will serve the common good with better laws and better actions only when we serve it first, by casting better votes.
Alan Keyes
Image
The fundamental premise of liberalism is the moral incapacity of the American people.
Alan Keyes
Image
Our first responsibility is not to ourselves. Our first responsibility is to our country and to our God.
Alan Keyes
Image
In the great Declaration of our principles, it didn't say that all are created equal if you so choose. It said that all are created equal by the power and the will of God, and that we must respect their rights as we respect that will.
Alan Keyes
Image
We may well soon be subjected to anything that judges want to enforce.... The result will be an enforced inability of the states to pass laws that reflect the principled judgment of their own citizens....And as our Founders taught us so well, ...[that] will be the end of liberty and the establishment of tyranny in America.

The question isn't whether you have a good master or a bad master, it's to be your own master. That is the dignity of humanity.

Rights come from God and only from God.

We stand on no high moral plateau in our time. We are, in fact, plumbing depths of depravity unknown to our ancestors--and whatever may have been the evil in which they engaged, at least they were willing to acknowledge the principle by which their evil was condemned. We have even turned our back on the principle.

It is the absence of bars that makes a beast free - but only the truth can make a man free.

There's not a single thing on offer in this all-too-temporary world for which you should ever sell your soul.

I read American sagas (of the west) and I do not see people who went in search of material things. I see people who wrote down that what they sought was an escape from an old world which dictated their conscience and established their merit based on who their parents.
