Orson Scott Card
Reasonable argument is impossible when authority becomes the arbiter.
Orson Scott Card
From all wise men, O Lord, protect us.
Orson Scott Card
I doubt that America will come to Europe again. You'll be on your own against militant Islam.
Orson Scott Card
If only we were wiser or better people, perhaps the gods would explain to us the mad, unbearable things they do.
Orson Scott Card
It has been my experience that the better a man you are, the more folks there are who resent you for it, and find occasion to get angry at you no matter how kindly meant your deeds may be.
Orson Scott Card
...the thing with brothers is, you're supposed to take turns being the keeper. Sometimes you get to sit down and be the brother who is kept.
Orson Scott Card
If a pig goes upon the threshing-floor, or a field, or a garden, and the owner of the meadow, or the field, or the garden smites it so that it die, he shall give it back to its owner but if he does not give it back, he becomes a thief.
Orson Scott Card
