a series of quotations i enjoy:

"live free or die; death is not the worst of evils."

"Men may be destroyed because they are brave - as Aristotle long ago observed - but that is no excuse for playing the coward."

"he who has a strong enough why can bear any how"

"Let no man deceive himself: if any man among you seem to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise" (1 Corinthians 3:18).

""We confess to hurting someone we love and she says, 'Forget it. It's nothing. It doesn't matter.' But she knows and we know that it is not nothing, it does matter and we will not forget it. Forgive and forget, they say, but that is surely wrong. What is forgetten need not, indeed cannot be forgiven. Love does not say to the beloved that it does not matter, for the beloved matters. Spare me the sentimental love that tells me what I do and what I am does not matter."

"relativism is not rational; it is rationalizing."

"man's most pragmatic need is to be something more than a pragmatist."

“In necessary things, unity; in doubtful things, liberty; in all things, charity."

"sow a thought, reap an act. sow an act, reap a character. sow a character, reap a destiny."

"Truth is symphonic"

"The Church is not a museum for saints, but a hospital for sinners."
