“Guilt or grief is all that gracious souls get by communion with vain souls!”
Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices

Thomas  Brooks
“Mercy is God's Alpha, justice is His Omega.”
Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices

Wilhelm Röpke
“This brings me to the very center of my convictions, which, I hope, I share with many others. I have always been reluctant to talk about it because I am not one to air my religious views in public, but let me say it here quite plainly: the ultimate source of our civilization's disease is the spiritual and religious crisis which has overtaken all of us and which each must master for himself. Above all, man is Homo religiosus, and yet we have, for the past century, made the desperate attempt to get along without God, and in the place of God we have set up the cult of man, his profane or even ungodly science and art, his technical achievements, and his State. We may be certain that some day the whole world will come to see, in a blinding flash, what is now clear to only a few, namely, that this desperate attempt has created a situation in which man can have no spiritual and moral life, and this means that he cannot live at all for any length of time, in spite of television and speedways and holiday trips and comfortable apartments. We seem to have proved the existence of God in yet another way: by the practical consequences of His assumed non-existence.”
Wilhelm Röpke, A Humane Economy: The Social Framework of the Free Market

Wilhelm Röpke
“And since men obviously cannot live in a religious vacuum, they cling to surrogate religions of all kinds, to political passions, ideologies, and pipe dreams—unless, of course, they prefer to drug themselves with the sheer mechanics of producing and consuming, with sport and betting, with sexuality, with rowdiness and crime and the thousand other things which fill our daily newspapers”
Wilhelm Röpke, A Humane Economy: The Social Framework of the Free Market

Wilhelm Röpke
“However, and here we return again to our main theme, we would merely be deluding ourselves if we drew such a sharp dividing line between the realm of the spirit and the conditions of man's existence.”
Wilhelm Röpke, A Humane Economy: The Social Framework of the Free Market
