More quotes by 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
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
O God, for as much as without Thee We are not enabled to doubt Thee, Help us all by Thy grace To convince the whole race It knows nothing whatever about Thee.
Ronald Knox
Only man had dignity only man, therefore, can be funny.
Ronald Knox
It doesn't do to say that heresy produces the development of doctrine, because that annoys the theologians. But it is true to say that as a matter of history the development of doctrine has been largely a reaction on the Church's part to the attacks of heresy.
Ronald Knox
A loud noise at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Ronald Knox
Comparative religion is an admirable recipe for making people comparatively religious.
Ronald Knox
The prevailing attitude of the speakers was one of heavy disagreement with a number of things which the reader had not said.
Ronald Knox
When suave politeness, tempering bigot zeal, corrected 'I believe' to 'one does feel'.
Ronald Knox
Long before I had ever seen a ritualistic service I became a Ritualist.
