Curiosity is only vanity. We usually only want to know something so that we can talk about it.

We must kill them in war, just because they live beyond the river. If they lived on this side, we would be called murderers.

Death itself is less painful when it comes upon us unawares than the bare contemplation of it, even when danger is far distant.

There is a God shaped vacuum in the heart of every man which cannot be filled by any created thing, but only by God, the Creator, made known through Jesus.

When intuition and logic agree, you are always right.

The Stoics say, "Retire within yourselves; it is there you will find your rest." And that is not true. Others say, "Go out of yourselves; seek happiness in amusement." And this is not true. Illness comes. Happiness is neither without us nor within us. It is in God, both without us and within us.

Vanity is but the surface.
