Thomas Sowell

Another great quote from Thomas Sowell on one of the most pressing issues in current culture.

"To believe in personal responsibility would be to destroy the whole special role of the anointed, whose vision casts them in the role of rescuers of people treated unfairly by “society”." 

Augustine

"In the absence of justice, what is sovereignty but organized robbery?"

Dewey's View of Education

Jim Garrison on Dewey's view of education:

"Eventually in teaching as in life, it is more important to be somebody in relationship to others than to know something, however important curriculum and pedagogical knowledge may be."

Daniel Webster

"If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity." 
— Daniel Webster

C.S. Lewis

I think C.S. Lewis has captured, in this quote, our collective problem as a people. Comfort is more important to us than truth.
