"Is it not terrifying that we, as a society, have already gone on record that we do not trust the arena of politics because it lends itself to such abuse, and yet we turn around and look to that institution to anchor our values? An Indian proverb says it is like roasting a fish and then asking a fox to guard it for us." -Ravi Zacharias
"'Politically correct' is at best circular--and at worst an oxymoron." -Ravi Zacharias
"Man is not at peace with his fellow man becasue he is not at peace with himself. He is not at peace wit himself because he is not at peace with God." -Thomas Merton, Trappist monk
The Times of London article: "What's Wrong with the World?"
Shortest Response: "I am. Yours truly, G. K. Chesterton."

"I said to the man at the Gate of the Year, 'Give me a light that I may walk safely into the unknown.' He said to me, 'Go out into the darkness, and put your hand in the hand of God, and it shall be to you better than the light, and safer than the known.'" -King George VI, British Christmas Eve address following WWII
"If you, Professor Glover, were stranded at the midnight hour in a desolate Los Angeles street and if, as you stepped out of your car fear and trembling, you were suddenly to hear the weight of pounding footsteps behind you, and you saw ten burly young men who had just stepped out of a dwelling coming toward you, would it or would it not make a difference to you to know that they were coming from a Bible study?" -social critic Dennis Prager to Oxford atheistic philosopher Jonathan Glover
"If we present man with a concept of man which is not true, we may well corrupt him. When we present him as an automaton of reflexes, as a mind machine, as a bundle of instincts, as a pawn of drive and reactions, as a mere product of heredity and environment, we feed the nihilism to which modern man is, in any case, prone. I became acquainted with the last stage of corruption in my second concentration camp, Auschwitz. The gas chambers of Auschwitz were the ultimate consequence of the theory that man is nothing but the product of heredity and environment--or, as the Nazis liked to say, 'of blood and soil.' I am absolutely convinced that the gas chambers of Auschwitz, Treblinka, and Maidanek were ultimately prepared not in some ministry or other in Berlin, but rather at the desks and in lecture halls of nihilistic scientists and philosophers." -Viktor Frankl, Auschwitz survivor
Muhammad Ali: "Superman don't need no seatbelt."
