"We shape our buildings.  Thereafter they shape us."

Winston Churchill (1874-1965)

 

"The decades since the Great War have shown we no longer live in a government by the people, for the people, but rather in a government by itself, for itself."

Peter Budnik

"Letter to the Editor" in First Things, May 2016.

 

"The materialism made possible by the new genetics

and the bio-tech revolution comes seductively wrapped

in the mantle of compassion.

It leads to a decay of freedom and toward a new authoritarianism."

George Weigel

"Krakow's Geography of Sanctity" in First Things,

 June/July 2016.

 

"Memory is not passive.  M

emory is an active faculty that preserves identity

by a process of 'handing on.' 

Tradition is thus a living, active, dynamic thing."

George Weigel

"Krakow's Geography of Sanctity" in First Things,

June/July 2016.

 

"One never knows, after all,

what happens in the final blasts of frost

in the winter of a man's life. 

If he made it through December, he'll be fine."

Russell D. Moore

"Sing Him Back Home" in First Things, June/July 2016.

 

"The country has gotten so far off track

that we need a leader who is prepared to break some rules

if that is what it takes to set things right."

William Galston

For the Brookings Institution in First Things,

August/September 2016.

 

"An inclusive society must exclude

those who exclude -- which of course means

those who don't agree with the moral judgments

of those who 'include.'"

R.R. Reno

"While We're At It" in First Things, August/September 2016.

 

"We often hear of open-mindedness.  It's not a bad quality.

But the more important quality is serious-mindedness. 

Depth of convictionsustains a free society

-- not diversity, pluralism, tolerance."

R.R. Reno

"Bigot-Baiting" in First Things, August/September 2016.

 

"A state that threatens the proclamation of the Christian message negates itself."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Quoted in"China's Christian Future" in First Things,

Aug./Sept. 2016.

 

"Neither the dead hand of Communism,

nor the cynical imitation of Confucianism,

nor capitalism, nor democracy, nor any earthly thing

will determine the fate of my land.  Christianity is China's future."

Yu Jie

"China's Christian Future" in First Things,

August/September 2016.
