Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.

The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.

All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.

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.

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
Image
The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term only if we love, do we trust and only if we trust, do we believe.

Original sin is the proclivity to say my will be done instead of thy will be done.
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 sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
There is one and only one possible road to joy: selfless love.

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.

One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.

Humility, humility, humility, and humility.
