Augustine of Hippo
“So you see how endlessly futile and fruitless it would be if we wanted to refute their objections every time they obstinately resolved not to think through what they say but merely to speak, just so long as they contradict our arguments in any way they can.”
Augustine of Hippo, The City of God: Books 1-10

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You are so weak. Give up to grace.
The ocean takes care of each wave till it gets to shore.
You need more help than you know.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi

P.J. O'Rourke
“At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child — miserable, as all spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of sniveling brats.”
P.J. O'Rourke, Give War a Chance: Eyewitness Accounts of Mankind's Struggle Against Tyranny, Injustice, and Alcohol-Free Beer

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“You have forgotten the One
who doesn't care about ownership,
who doesn't try to turn a profit
from every human exchange.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, The Essential Rumi

Thomas Aquinas
“The Philosopher, too, says of the wicked (Ethic. ix, 4) that "their soul is divided against itself . . . one part pulls this way, another that"; and afterwards he concludes, saying: "If wickedness makes a man so miserable, he should strain every nerve to avoid vice.”
Thomas Aquinas, The Summa Theologica: Complete Edition
