A toothache, or a violent passion, is not necessarily diminished by our knowledge of its causes, its character, its importance or insignificance.

We cannot know the whole truth, which belongs to God alone, but our task nevertheless is to seek to know what is true. And if we offend gravely enough against what we know to be true, as by failing badly enough to deal affectionately and responsibly with our land and our neighbors, truth will retaliate with ugliness, poverty, and disease.

Wendell Berry

David Rockefeller

Bryan Lindsay

God did not call the qualified to serve Him: instead He qualified the called.

Judy Baer

If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.

Mother Teresa

The greatest art of a politician is to render vice serviceable to the cause of virtue.

Henry Bolingbroke

For Mythology is the handmaid of literature and literature is one of the best allies of virtue and promoters of happiness.

Thomas Bulfinch

I've spent a bit of time with the Prince of Wales, who I respect greatly. I'd give two cheers for the Monarchy.
