"...to quote Eric Hoffer, 'When freedom destroys order, the yearning for order will destroy freedom. At that point the words left or right will make no difference. They are only two roads to the same end. There is no difference between an authoritative government from the right or the left. The results are the same."
"After the turmoil of the sixties, many people thought it was so much better when the universities quieted down in the early seventies. I could have wept. The young people had been right in their analysis, though wrong in their solutions. How much worse when many gave up hope and simply accepted the same values as their parents - personal peace and affluence..."
"And since personal peace and affluence are the only values that count with the majority, politicians know that to be elected they must promise these things."
"The Bible's whole emphasis is that there must be no humanistic note added at any point in accepting of the gospel. It is the infinite value of the finished work of Christ, the second person of the Trinity, upon the cross, plus nothing, that is the sole basis for the removal of our guilt."
"We do not come to true spirituality or the true Christian life merely by keeping a list, but neither do we come to it merely by rejecting the list and shrugging our shoulders and living a looser life."
