Those who believe in nothing are very, very jealous and angry at those who believe in something.
Dennis PragerIn colleges throughout America, students are taught to have disdain for the white race. I know this sounds incredible, or at least exaggerated. It is neither.
Dennis PragerIn various European countries, it is increasingly common for young men to live with their parents into their 30s and even longer. Why not? In the welfare state, there is no shame in doing so.
Dennis PragerThose of us have minimized expectations walk around with a greater sense of thankfulness (because so many wonderful things that we didn't expect come our way each day).
Dennis PragerMuch of the world's moral compass is broken. The moral north reads south and the moral south reads north.
Dennis PragerIf there is no God, the labels 'good' and 'evil' are merely opinions. They are substitutes for 'I like it' and 'I don't like it.' They are not objective realities.
Dennis PragerThe Left has taken over the universities and, increasingly, high schools and elementary schools. It dominates the news and entertainment media. And many judges and courts are leftist - meaning that their decisions are guided by leftism more than by the law or the Constitution.
Dennis PragerI am convinced that great ideas that are powerfully presented can change a mind in five minutes.
Dennis PragerSome of us worry about a resurgent Islam and its attendant complications for a decayed Western civilization; some of us worry about global warming. In twenty years' time, one of us will be proved right . . .
Dennis PragerIt does say something about a society when those who sue physicians and hospitals make as much or more money than those who heal disease. It says something about a society when it glorifies and rewards those who litigate while it demonizes and punishes those who produce the drugs and devices that keep it citizens alive and well.
Dennis PragerHappiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature.
Dennis PragerLeft-wing thinking is that difference means unequal; therefore, all difference must be denied
Dennis PragerMany liberals believe in God; many conservatives do. What matters is not whether people believe in God but what text, if any, they believe to be divine. Those who believe that He has spoken through a given text will generally think differently from those who believe that no text is divine. Such people will usually get their values from other texts, or more likely from their conscience and heart.
Dennis PragerRather than dividing the world between good and evil, the Left divided the world in terms of economics. Economic classes, not moral values, explained human behavior. Therefore, to cite a common example, poverty, not one's moral value system, or lack of it, caused crime.
Dennis PragerOur only hope for America is that every conservative takes upon him or herself the project of learning what American and conservative values are, coming to understand what leftism stands for, and learning how to make the case for those values to women, young people, blacks and Hispanics.
Dennis PragerThe world is a bad place. There are many wonderful people, but on the whole, humanity basically stinks.
Dennis PragerA decent person does not alienate children from a parent, no matter how angry they are at the parent for the divorce. It's unfair to the children, and it's unfair to the other human being
Dennis PragerAs you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy.
Dennis PragerParents are flawed human beings who are given a role that more approximates that of God than of mere mortals.
Dennis PragerIf you equate happiness with success, you will never achieve the amount of success necessary to make you happy.
Dennis PragerEveryone of us plays 'tapes' from our parents until we die. That's why it's so important to talk good values to your child
Dennis PragerLeftism has influenced the literary, academic, media, and, therefore, the political elite far more than any other religion. It has taken over Western schools from elementary through graduate.
Dennis PragerIs there a point of taxation wherein even a Democrat would acknowledge it is thievery by the government?
Dennis PragerIf the West believed in something, it would prevail overnight. The problem is you can't beat bad faith with no faith.
Dennis PragerOur scientific age demands that we provide definitions, measurements, and statistics in order to be taken seriously. Yet most of the important things in life cannot be precisely defined or measured. Can we define or measure love, beauty, friendship, or decency, for example?
