Just as any moron can destroy a priceless Ming vase, so the shallow and ill-educated people who run our schools can undermine and destroy from within a great civilization that took centuries of dedicated effort to create and maintain.

What then is the intellectual advantage of civilization over primitive savagery? It is not necessarily that each civilized man has more knowledge but that he requires far less.

To say that being non-judgmental is better than being judgmental is itself a judgment, and therefore a violation of principle.

How you treat the helpless is the real test of morality. Lots of people are flunking that test big time.

Civil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.

Policies are judged by their consequences but crusades are judged by how good they make the crusaders feel.

It is so easy to be wrong-and to persist in being wrong-when the costs of being wrong are paid by others.
