“The principle of human action is the thought of good and evil and thus good and evil. In this, in its principle, lies the infinite difference of human action from animal movement. Perhaps this is not evident when we confine our attention to things done like baking a cake. Not because human action is something other than baking cakes and the like. But because it is not possible to understand what it is to bake a cake without its wider context, as Thompson puts it in a phrase of Anscombe’s. This wider context is thought in thought of the good. And the wider context of human action is infinitely different from that of animal action. For it is not just wider; it is the widest. The context of human action is illimitable. This character of the principle of human action affects its temporality. As its principle is illimitable, so is its temporality. Human action is temporal in such a way as to be all time and eternity. This comes out in the way in which my action is not over when it’s over: I repent, I am punished. My past is my present, which thus is eternity, or hell. And it comes out in the way in which my action may be undone: I confess, I am forgiven. My past is annulled, it is perfectly powerless in my present, which thus is eternity, or heaven.”

“The principle of majority rule is the mildest form in which the force of numbers can be exercised. It is a pacific substitute for civil war in which the opposing armies are counted and the victory is awarded to the larger before any blood is shed.

The more rare a group, value, interest, skill, or experience is, the more likely it is to facilitate a bond. And research indicates that people are happier in groups that provide optimal distinctiveness.”

“The principle of science, the definition, almost, is the following: The test of all knowledge is experiment. Experiment is the sole judge of scientific "truth." But what is the source of knowledge? Where do the laws that are to be tested come from? Experiment, itself, helps to produce these laws, in the sense that it gives us hints. But also needed is imagination to create from these hints the great generalizations--to guess at the wonderful, simple, but very strange patterns beneath them all, and then to experiment to check again whether we have made the right guess.”

“The principle of self-reliance grows out of a fundamental doctrine of the Church, that of agency. Just as each individual is accountable for his choices and actions in spiritual matters, so also is he accountable in temporal matters. It is through our own efforts and decisions that we earn our way in this life. While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet. Ultimately, our own actions determine our blessings or lack of them. It is a direct consequence of both agency and accountability.”

It is an irony of history that at the very time when this was being worked out, there should rise, under Hitler in Germany and other tyrants elsewhere, a counter-conception: a principle of monstrous certainty. When the future looks back on the 1930's, it will think of them as a crucial confrontation of culture as I have been expounding it - the ascent of man against the throwback to the despots' belief that they have absolute certainty.”
