Because God created the Natural - invented it out of His love and artistry - it demands our reverence.

[the difference between the old and the new education being] in a word, the old was a kind of propagation-men transmitting manhood to men; the new is merely propaganda.

No one returns from Christianity to the same state he was before Christianity but into a worse state: the difference between a pagan and an apostate is the difference between an unmarried woman and an adulteress. For faith perfects nature but faith lost corrupts nature. Therefore many men of our time have lost not only the supernatural light but also the natural light which pagans possessed.

If you simply try to tell the truth you will, nine times out of ten, be original without ever having noticed it.

If we discover a desire within us that nothing in this world can satisfy, also we should begin to wonder if perhaps we were created for another world.

Is any pleasure on Earth as great as a circle of Christian friends?

I'd sooner live among people who don't cheat at cards than among people who are earnest about not cheating at cards.
