More quotes by Peter Kreeft
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.
Peter Kreeft
When a maniac is at the door, feuding brothers reconcile.
Peter Kreeft
The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction.
Peter Kreeft
Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
Peter Kreeft
A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions - not because his power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.
Peter Kreeft
Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.
Peter Kreeft
Every blade of grass is a blade of grace, a grace note in God's single Song. Nature is not blind and dumb. Nature is eloquent. Human science is blind and dumb if it does not hear this eloquence.
Peter Kreeft
Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?
Peter Kreeft
Sin comes from not realizing God's love. Sin comes from thinking ourselves only as sinners, while overcoming sin comes from thinking ourselves as overcomers. We act our our perceived identities.
Peter Kreeft
Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.
Peter Kreeft
You cannot be in love with love.
Peter Kreeft
Science only answers the question, How does it work? Or at most, What's there? Science asks what and how, philosophy asks why, myth and religion ask who. Who's in charge here? Who's the author? That's what we really long to know.
Peter Kreeft
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
Peter Kreeft
Thus moral theology leads us four steps deeper than law. To fulfill the moral law, we need love. To get love, we need union with God. To get union with God, we need the new birth. And to get the new birth, we need faith.
Peter Kreeft
Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.
Peter Kreeft
All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.
Peter Kreeft
For the wise men of old, the cardinal problem of human life was how to conform the soul to objective reality, and the solution was wisdom, self-discipline, and virtue. For the modern, the cardinal problem is how to conform reality to the wishes of man, and the solution is a technique.
