Image
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
Image
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.

Our judgements of good and evil ... presuppose God as the standard. If there's no God, there's neither good nor evil. There's just nature doing what it does
Peter Kreeft
Image

Peter Kreeft
Image
Original sin is the proclivity to say my will be done instead of thy will be done.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Humility, humility, humility, and humility.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
Joy is not a feeling in us. Joy does not enter into us. We enter into joy: Enter into the joy of your Lord (Mt 25:21).
Peter Kreeft
Image
Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?
Peter Kreeft
Image
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Atheists in C.S. Lewis' day were as snobbish and arrogant as they are now, but better educated and more capable of debate.
