Quote by Billy Graham

“We have glamorized vice and minimized virtue. We have played down gentleness, manners, and morals—while we have played up rudeness, savagery, and vice . . . and the philosophy of “might is right.”

“Reality is that which exists; the unreal does not exist; the unreal is merely that negation of existence which is the content of a human consciousness when it attempts to abandon reason. Truth is the recognition of reality; reason, man’s only means of knowledge, is his only standard of truth.”

“Yes, this is an age of moral crisis. Yes, you are bearing punishment for your evil. But it is not man who is now on trial and it is not human nature that will take the blame. It is your moral code that’s through, this time. Your moral code has reached its climax, the blind alley at the end of its course. And if you wish to go on living, what you now need is not to return to morality—you who have never known any—but to discover it.”

“Man cannot survive except by gaining knowledge, and reason is his only means to gain it. Reason is the faculty that perceives, identifies and integrates the material provided by his senses. The task of his senses is to give him the evidence of existence, but the task of identifying it belongs to his reason, his senses tell him only that something is, but what it is must be learned by his mind.”

“Parlando di morale, Camus fa ridere quei cinici che, dopo aver letto Lenin, Trotskij e Stalin, primeggiavano per sofismi. Leon Trotskij, che ha creato l'Armata Rossa, che ha massacrato i marinai libertari di Kronstadt, scrive La loro morale e la nostra. Si tratta di un capolavoro per i dittatori di ieri, di oggi e di domani. Distinguendo tra morale borghese e morale rivoluzionaria impedisce di giudicare la rivoluzione con le categorie della morale borghese ed esige un giudizio secondo i criteri della morale rivoluzionaria. È così che fucilare, torturare, mandare al gulag sono azioni cattive per il borghese, ma per il rivoluzionario sono buone, perché, presentate come inezie dialettiche, pur nella loro negatività, sono chiamate a produrre il positivo avvento della rivoluzione proletaria, perlomeno per quei pochi che saranno sopravvissuti. La logica consequenziale e opportunista di questa morale rivoluzionaria priva di principi, stava bene tanto a Hitler, Lenin, Mussolini che a Stalin, Pétain, Trotskij, Franco e Mao, e stava bene persino a Sartre. Ma non è mai andata bene a Camus.”

“The purpose of college, to put this all another way, is to turn adolescents into adults. You needn't go to school for that, but if you're going to be there anyway, then that's the most important thing to get accomplished. That is the true education: accept no substitutes. The idea that we should take the first four years of young adulthood and devote them to career preparation alone, neglecting every other part of life, is nothing short of an obscenity. If that's what people had you do, then you were robbed. And if you find yourself to be the same person at the end of college as you were at the beginning - the same beliefs, the same values, the same desires, the same goals for the same reasons - then you did it wrong. Go back and do it again.”

“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher. It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love. Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.”
