To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.
Peter Kreeft

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
Peter Kreeft
Image
The big, blazing truth about man is that he has a heaven-sized hole in his heart, and nothing else can fill it. We pass our lives trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles. As Augustine said: Thou hast made us for Thyself, and our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
Peter Kreeft
Image
In this deed is my hope, not in the mere timeless fact that God is love. I am saved not by the beautiful Trinitarian life of God but by the gory death of God. I am saved not by the touching of the three Persons in Heaven but by the touching of this love on the Cross to my life.

The block of marble is not the sculptor, and doesn't see that he's about to become a masterpiece... We're the block of marble and God is the sculptor, and the chisel is.... everything.

Image
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The world was won for Christ not by arguments but by sanctity: What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.
Peter Kreeft
Image
True love, unlike popular sentimental substitutes, is willing to suffer. Love is not luv. Love is the cross. Our problem at first, the sheer problem of suffering, was a cross without Christ. We must never fall into the opposite and equal trap of a Christ without a cross.
Peter Kreeft
Image
You have an evil twin who is always with you. He is called your ego.
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.

Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.
