Nothing We Do, However Virtuous, Can Be

Life Is A Battle Between Faith And Reason In Which Each Feeds Upon The Other, Drawing Sustenance From It And Destroying It.

Nothing We Do, However Virtuous, Can Be Accomplished Alone; Therefore, We Are Saved By Love. No Virtuous Act Is Quite As Virtuous From The Standpoint Of Our Friend Or Foe As It Is From Our Own Standpoint. Therefore We Must Be Saved By The Final Form Of Love, Which Is Forgiveness.

My Personal Attitude Toward Atheists Is The Same Attitude That I Have Toward Christians, And Would Be Governed By A Very Orthodox Text: "by Their Fruits Shall Ye Know Them."

The History Of Mankind Is A Perennial Tragedy; For The Highest Ideals Which The Individual May Project Are Ideals Which He Can Never Realize In Social And Collective Terms.

One Of The Most Pathetic Aspects Of Human History Is That Every Civilization Expresses Itself Most Pretentiously, Compounds Its Partial And Universal Values Most Convincingly, And Claims Immortality For Its Finite Existence At The Very Moment When The Decay Which Leads To Death Has Already Begun.
