More quotes by Peter Kreeft
To those of you who would classify yourselves as conservatives I would say, meditate long and hard on Jesus' saying Whatever you do to the least of these you have done to me.
Peter Kreeft
Ethics without virtue is an illusion. What is the highest purpose of ethics? It is to make a person good, that is virtuous.
Peter Kreeft
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
Indifference is more truly the opposite of love than hate is, for we can both love and hate the same person at the same time, but we cannot both love and be indifferent to the same person at the same time.
Peter Kreeft
It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.
Peter Kreeft
Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family.
Peter Kreeft
If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.
Peter Kreeft
The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.
Peter Kreeft
Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.
Peter Kreeft
How will the Tower of Babel be undone? How will we understand each other in Heaven? Will we all speak English or Dutch or Latin? No, we will speak music.
Peter Kreeft
Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before. I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying I wish I had watched more TV instead.'
Peter Kreeft
Other religions are stories of man's search for God. The Bible is the story of God's search for man.
Peter Kreeft
It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.
Peter Kreeft
The opposite of Christianity is not atheism, but idolatry.
Peter Kreeft
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
Peter Kreeft
The secret of joy is hidden in the word itself: first J, then O, then Y: Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last.
Peter Kreeft
Scripture starts with the particular and then universalizes it. You are called to love your concrete individual neighbor and then to realize that every individual is your neighbor. The point is not to destroy concrete neighborhood in a fit of universalism but to expand the local neighborhood and embrace the universal neighborhood.
Peter Kreeft
In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.
Peter Kreeft
Indifference is the only road that never gets to God.
