Quotes:
1. “The modern world imagines that it has outgrown religion. It has done nothing of the kind. It has merely forgotten it. And because it has forgotten it, it no longer understands itself.
Men do not realize that the whole framework of their moral judgments, their political habits, and even their intellectual methods were formed within a Christian society and cannot exist long outside it. When that framework breaks, they will not find themselves enlightened, but bewildered; not free, but enslaved; not rational, but confused.” — Hilaire Belloc, Europe and the Faith
2. “I prefer dangerous freedom…” – Thomas Jefferson
3. “There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that’s your own self.” – Aldous Huxley
4. “Trees are poems that Earth writes upon the sky.” – Khalil Gibran
Bonus Quote: “I may not have amazing victories, but I can amaze you with the defeats that I came out of alive.” – Anton Chekhov
