Philosophy Quote by peter kreeft — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Stand in the divine rain, and seeds of wisdom will grow in your soul.”

“Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts. God designed your body's plumbing system. God designed an ostrich. If He didn't do it, He permitted a drunken angel to do it. Empirical facts can add significantly to the meaning of "being godlike".”

“One of the few things in life that cannot possibly do harm in the end is the honest pursuit of the truth.”

“We sinned for no reason but an incomprehensible lack of love, and He saved us for no reason but an incomprehensible excess of love.”

“Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.”

“The saints, too, had wandering minds. The saints, too, had constantly to recall their constantly wandering mind-child home. They became saints because they continued to go after the little wanderer, like the Good Shepherd.”

“Stop feeling sorry for yourself and you will be happy.”

“Puttin into words was a breath-giving life to feelings and thoughts.”

“The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.”

“We make versions, and true versions make worlds.”

“Economic power is exercised by means of a positive, by offering men a reward, an incentive, a payment, a value; political power is exercised by means of a negative, by the threat of punishment, injury, imprisonment, destruction. The businessman's tool is values; the bureaucrat's tool is fear.”
