"All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by frost."

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973)

in The Fellowship of the Ring.

 

"It is impossible in this fallen world

to imagine a decent human order

that does not encourage citizens and believers alike

to take seriously the full range of one's political and civic responsibilities."

Daniel J. Mahoney

"Solzhenitsyn's Red Wheel" in First Things, May 2015.

 

"There are those who seek knowledge

for the sake of knowledge; that is curiosity. 

There are those who seek knowledge to be known by others; that is vanity. 

There are those who seek knowledge in order to serve;

that is love."

Stephen C. Meredith

"The Three Fausts" in First Things, June/July 2015.

 

"The freest man is the one who can spit in the eye

of those who imagine themselves to be all powerful, asserting, 'I will not!'"

R. R. Reno

"What's engraved on our hearts

strengthens our spines, allowing us

to overcome personal weaknesses

and stand up to external pressures."

R. R. Reno

"The dining room table

is under the mother and father's authority,

not the government's, not Hollywood's, not the New York Times."

"Neither wealth nor politics

has created anything that has lasted. 

By contrast, over the long haul,

religious faith has proven itself to be

the most powerful and enduring force in human history."

R. R. Reno

"Our Future" in First Things, October 2015.

 

"All knowledge and truth

are disclosed to us from beyond ourselves.

Whether for good or ill, we are subject to it -- not it to us."
