“Fear is not at the heart of Christianity nor of our nation. The very essence of Christian faith lies in forgiveness. Christians believe that Jesus died so we may live. He took upon himself our sins so that we may be forgiven and thereby gave us a model of forgiveness for others. This is a cycle that allows civility and progress in the face of man's faults and imperfectability.”
Cory Bernardi, The Conservative Revolution

Alexis de Tocqueville
“Rulers who destroy men's freedom commonly begin by trying to retain its forms. ... They cherish the illusion that they can combine the prerogatives of absolute power with the moral authority that comes from popular assent.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, The Old Regime and the French Revolution

Plato
“good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws”
Plato

Plato
“Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle.”
Plato

Graham Greene
“Sooner or later...one has to take sides. If one is to remain human.”
Graham Greene, The Quiet American
