Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
Peter Kreeft
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
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The only reason you are not yet a saint is because you do not wholly want to be one.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
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
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

Humility, humility, humility, and humility.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Now I see that God prefers to work through intermediaries - Mary and the saints. . . He wants us to pray through Mary and not only directly.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft

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.
