Thomas Aquinas
“If the highest aim of a captain were to preserve his ship, he would keep it in port forever.”
Thomas Aquinas

Robert Hugh Benson
“In the ages of faith a very inadequate grasp of religion would pass muster; in these searching days none but the humble and the pure could stand the test for long, unless indeed they were protected by a miracle of ignorance. The alliance of Psychology and Materialism did indeed seem, looked at from one angle, to account for everything; it needed a robust supernatural perception to understand their practical inadequacy.”
Robert Hugh Benson, Lord of the World

Robert Hugh Benson
“Men do recognise at last that a supernatural Religion involves an absolute authority, and that Private Judgment in matters of faith is nothing else than the beginning of disintegration.”
Robert Hugh Benson, Lord of the World

Robert Hugh Benson
“For where men have made the earth that is trodden underfoot, and have largely veiled the heavens themselves, it is but natural that they should think that they have made everything, and that it is they who rule it.”
Robert Hugh Benson, Come Rack! Come Rope!

Edward Feser
“If the Canadian parliament, say, should declare that in light of evolving social mores, triangles should be regarded as sometimes having four sides, and decree also that anyone who expresses disagreement with this judgment shall be deemed guilty of discriminatory hate speech against four-sided triangles, none of this would change the geometrical facts in the least, but merely cast doubt on the sanity of Canadian parliamentarians.”
Edward Feser, The Last Superstition: A Refutation of the New Atheism
