If we continue to teach about tolerance and intolerance instead of good and evil, we will end up with tolerance of evil.
When emotions dominate, maturity and wisdom deteriorate
Nothing enables people to do evil as much as does a sense of victimhood
The vast majority of those who are famous are not significant and the vast majority of those who are significant are not famous.
Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
Whatever the Left touches-- the arts; the economy; health care; the soul; religion-- it destroys or damages
Lies and victimhood make evil possible
Nothing guarantees more the erosion of character than getting something for nothing
Because gratitude is the key to happiness, anything that undermines gratitude must undermine happiness. And nothing undermines gratitude as much as expectations. There is an inverse relationship between expectations and gratitude: The more expectations you have, the less gratitude you will have.
Compassion without wisdom is dangerous. It's what enables people to support the 'underdog,' even if the underdog is evil
Until the Left took over American public education in the second half of the 20th century, it was generally excellent - look at the high level of eighth-grade exams from early in the 20th century and you will weep. The more money the Left has gotten for education - America now spends more per student than any country in the world - the worse the academic results. And the Left has removed God and dress codes from schools - with socially disastrous results.
I don't let the hate go to my heart, and I don't let the praise go to my head.
America derives its laws from its Constitution. It derives its values from the Bible. We don't get inalienable rights from the Constitution; we get them from God.
Those who don't hate evil hate those who do
The bigger the government, the greater the corruption
Prayer is not asking God to do something, it's asking God to help YOU do something
When women criticize men it's called feminism. When men criticize women it's called misogyny
Happiness 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.
The biggest battle in life is with yourself
Political correctness is the the inability to state certain truths because they may offend certain people
It is no longer higher education, it is higher 'indoctrination '
All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it’s truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy.
For the Left, tolerance does not mean tolerance. It means first, acceptance. And second, celebration. That is totalitarianism: You not only have to live with what you may differ with, dear citizen, you have to celebrate it or pay a steep price.
Not only do we have a right to be happy, we have an obligation to be happy because our happiness has an effect on everyone around us.
Socialism values equality more than liberty.
