More quotes by Dennis Prager
Finding patterns is the essence of wisdom
Dennis Prager
Want to raise children who will be happy adults? Teach them not to whine.
Dennis Prager
Complexity and profundity have been equated by the academic culture just as fame and significance have been conflated by the popular culture. Fame and significance have nothing to do with one another and complexity and profundity have nothing to do with one another.
Dennis Prager
Conservatives divide the world in terms of good and evil while liberals do it in terms of the rich and poor.
Dennis Prager
Although images of perfection in people's personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societies - utopian images - can cause monstrous evil. In fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the twentieth century.
Dennis Prager
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
Dennis Prager
Whatever one does for a living, three questions need to be confronted before it is too late: What really matters to me? What price do my spouse and kids pay for my career success? What price does my soul pay?
Dennis Prager
If we weren't born with anti-social passions - narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious - why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior?
Dennis Prager
The larger the state, the more callous it becomes... the colder its heart. It is also true that the bigger the corporation, the more callous its heart. But unlike the state, corporations have competition and have no police powers.
Dennis Prager
Socialism values equality more than liberty.
Dennis Prager
But if there is a just God, there is ultimate justice.
Dennis Prager
All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
Dennis Prager
The vote, punishment... these ideas are anathema to the liberal mind
Dennis Prager
Very rarely do people make big compromises with their integrity. Almost every compromise is a small one that is easily justified. The downhill slide is usually a result of many little compromises.
Dennis Prager
It does say something about a society when those who sue physicians and hospitals make as much or more money than those who heal disease. It says something about a society when it glorifies and rewards those who litigate while it demonizes and punishes those who produce the drugs and devices that keep it citizens alive and well.
Dennis Prager
The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things.
Dennis Prager
You know what I ask Jewish liberals? 'Why don't you preach what you practice?'
Dennis Prager
There's a lot more power in calm than in vituperation.
Dennis Prager
The '60s redefined narcissism as idealism.
Dennis Prager
Therefore the vast majority of the people who affirm leftist beliefs think of their views as the only way to properly think about life.
