More quotes by Ronald Knox
It is so stupid of modern civilization to have given up believing in the devil when he is the only explanation of it.
Ronald Knox
Only man had dignity only man, therefore, can be funny.
Ronald Knox
If you have a sloppy religion you get a sloppy atheism.
Ronald Knox
All men who have ideals . . . live by some kind of faith, by committing themselves to some kind of loyalty which is not universally recognized as the common property of all thinking men. They must have something-something outside themselves, to make them feel life is worth living, that good rather than evil is the explanation of the world.
Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox

Ronald Knox
Long before I had ever seen a ritualistic service I became a Ritualist.
