“’People say to me, that it is but a dream to suppose that Christianity should regain the organic power in human society which once it possessed. I cannot help that; I never said it could. I am not a politician; I am proposing no measures, but exposing a fallacy, and resisting a pretence. Let Benthamism reign, if men have no aspirations; but do not tell them to be romantic, and then solace them with glory; do not attempt by philosophy what was once done by religion. The ascendancy of Faith may be impracticable, but the reign of Knowledge is incomprehensible.’”
John Henry Newman, “The Tamworth Reading Room” (1841) quoted in Russell Kirk The Conservative Mind
“Teach me neither to cry for the moon nor over spilt milk.”

“Life is too short to be little.”
Disraeli, quoted in Dale Carnegie How to Stop Worrying and Start Living
In my latest Epoch Times column I say calling for Canada to become a republic because of Meghan Markle’s Oprah interview, or for any other reason, misses the point that it already is one.
