Humility, humility, humility, and humility.
Peter Kreeft
Image
God calls us, just as he called Abraham, away from the security we knew, out of our old, familiar, little room, down the ladder of faith and into his arms. Jesus called his disciples that way - just as a lover elopes with his beloved.

The self is like a baseball. Throw it back to the divine pitcher who pitched it to you in the first place, and the game of love goes on. Hold it, and the game is over. That is the difference between Heaven and Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Americans' deepest religion is often equality. The notion that Christ alone is God-superior, authoritative, supernatural-and that Christ's teaching and person is far greater than Buddha's, or Muhammad's, or Moses's, no matter how much great and good wisdom may be contained in those others, is scandalous.

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.

You have an evil twin who is always with you. He is called your ego.

Image
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.

It was a very stupid mistake to think you could deal with heresy by burning heretics. It's the very same mistake that modernist Catholics are making today in reverse. They think you can love heretics by loving heresies.

Grey is the devil's favorite color.

Image
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
Peter Kreeft
Image
God created the possibility of evil people actualized that potentiality. The source of evil is not God's power but mankind's freedom. Even an all-powerful God could not have created a world in which people had genuine freedom and yet there was no potentiality for sin, because our freedom includes the possibility of sin within its own meaning.

Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
There is one and only one possible road to joy: selfless love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We can't believe what we believe to be untrue, and we can't love what we believe to be unreal.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.

Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
