More quotes by Peter Kreeft
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
Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.
Peter Kreeft
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
If God is not a Trinity, God is not love. For love requires three things: a lover, a beloved, and a relationship between them.
Peter Kreeft
Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.
Peter Kreeft
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.
Peter Kreeft
If you want to get wet, go out to where it is raining If you want to be a saint, find one and hang out with him.
Peter Kreeft
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
Peter Kreeft
Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests.
Peter Kreeft
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
Only God may be adored, because only God is unlimited goodness, truth, and beauty, and thus only God deserves unlimited love.
Peter Kreeft
Of course the more you love the sinner the more you hate and make war on the sin, just as the more you love the person, the more you hate and kill the cancer cells that are killing the person. Compassion for cancer cells does not come from compassion for persons it comes precisely from lack of compassion for persons.
Peter Kreeft
When a maniac is at the door, feuding brothers reconcile.
Peter Kreeft
Not all Tolkien haters are Orcs, but all Orcs are Tolkien haters.
Peter Kreeft
The first rule for prayer, the most important first step, is not about how to do it, but to just do it not to perfect and complete it but to begin it. Once the car is moving, it's easy to steer it in the right direction, but it's much harder to start it up when it's stalled. And prayer is stalled in our world.
Peter Kreeft
There is one and only one possible road to joy: selfless love.
Peter Kreeft
The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.
Peter Kreeft
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
Peter Kreeft
Now if the religious skeptic is right, we can know nothing about God. And if we can know nothing about God, how can we know God so well that we can know that he cannot be known? How can we know that God cannot and did not reveal himself—and perhaps even through human reason?
Peter Kreeft
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.
