Peter Kreeft Quote: “Even David Hume, one of history most famous skeptics, said it’s just barely possible that God exists.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Go back to Socrates: “Know thyself.” For Socrates, there are only two kinds of people: the wise, who know they are fools; and fools, who think they are wise. Similarly, for Christ and all the prophets, there are only two kinds of people: saints, who know they are sinners; and sinners, who think they are saints. Which are you?”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “St. Thomas would have agreed with Leon Bloy, who often wrote that in the end there is only one tragedy in life: not to have been a saint.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Your heart may be paltry compared with the heart of a great saint, but your heart is what God wants from you.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “We want to complexify our lives. We don’t have to, we want to. We want to be harried and hassled and busy. Unconsciously, we want the very thing we complain about. For if we had leisure, we would look at ourselves and listen to our hearts and see the great gaping hole in our hearts and be terrified, because that hole is so big that nothing but God can fill it.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.”

Peter Kreeft Quote: “God loves us more than we love Him.”

Peter Kreeft Quote: “Love suffers far more for the pains of the beloved than for its own pains.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “That freedom is lost in Hell.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “As society grows, it knows more and more about less and less. It knows more about the little things and less about the big things. It knows more about everything and less about Everything.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The saints, too, had wandering minds. The saints, too, had constantly to recall their constantly wandering mind-child home. They became saints because they continued to go after the little wanderer, like the Good Shepherd.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.”

Peter Kreeft Quote: “Feelings are wonderful decorations, but they are not a foundation to build on.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The most striking feature if this map is the stark fat of the Two Roads. There is the road that leads to Life, and there is the road that leads to Death. There is Good, and there is Evil. There is Right and there is Wrong.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The greatest Christians in history seem to say that their sufferings ended up bringing them the closest to God – so this is the best thing that could happen, not the worst.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Third, it can mean deep, wondering reverence, or “awe” at something immeasurably superior. This is an emotion that is much rarer today than ever before in the history of the world, probably because modern life is so full of scientific knowledge and technological power over nature that we live in a dream of arrogant cleverness and a cocoon of predictable comforts.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Learning to pray is dress rehearsal for eternal life.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “No books is more fascinating than the Bible. And no books are less fascinating than most of our commentaries on the Bible. Nothing is more formidable and unconquerable than the Church Militant. But nothing is more sleepy and sheepish than the Church Mumbling. Christ’s words roused His enemies to murder and His friends to martyrdom. Our words reassure both sides and send them to sleep. He put the world in a daze. We put it in a doze.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The single most important piece of advice about prayer is one word: Begin!”

Peter Kreeft Quote: “Atheism is cheap on people, because it snobbishly says nine out of ten people through history have been wrong about God and have had a lie at the core of their hearts.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “You have to say no to something else, in order to make time to pray.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “When feminists become saints, we will become their pupils.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The good Jew, like the good Christian, sees behind the law to the Lawgiver, whose will is perfect love.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “We are all insane. That is what original sin means. Sin is insanity. It is preferring finite joy to infinite joy, creatures to the Creator, an unhappy, Godless self to a happy, God-filled self Only God can save us from this disease. That is what the name “Jesus” means: ‘God saves’.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God’s sake.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “We can and should investigate and learn from the wisdom in other religions.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “You see, passion alone is a blind power. It’s fire without light. It just ignites whatever it touches, good or evil, truth or lies, unselfishness or selfishness, love or lust.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Love is strengthened and perfected by suffering. Couples who have had only ease lack depth. True love needs to suffer. “The course of true love never did run smooth.” Kindness – mere kindness – cannot tolerate suffering. Love can.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The eye of the poet sees less clearly, but sees farther than the eye of the scientist.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Prayer is easier than we think. we want to think it is too hard or too high and holy for us, because that gives us an excuse for not doing it. This is false humility. We can all do it, even the most sinful, shallow, silly, and stupid of us.”

Peter Kreeft Quote: “If your life is Christ, then your death will be only more of Christ, forever. If your life is only Christlessness, then your death will be only more Christlessness, forever. That’s not fundamentalism, that’s the law of non-contradiction.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “The scripture notion of truth is not an abstract, static, and timeless formula, but is something that comes true in time as the fulfillment of a divine promise. Truth happens in history.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “If we rely on anything else besides faith to maintain the practice of the presence of God, we will certainly fail, whether this is our feelings, or experiences, or sincerity, or good intentions, or reasonings, or plans. The reason these things will fail while faith will not fail is that all these things depend on us, while faith depends on God. It is a gift of God.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “What we do is not as important as what we are. Our functionalistic modern society tends to reduce our being to our function. What is the first question we ask about someone? “What does he do?” But love never asks that question first. The first question for love is always “Who are you?” rather than “What do you do?” Being is prior to doing, and love’s realism refuses to reverse that real order.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “We pray, not simply as some solitary self-improvement program, but because we have been addressed by God. Prayer is a response to a prior divine invitation.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “There is no such thing as an involuntary sin.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Kennedy: You mean it’s not a matter of good deeds versus bad deeds, a kind of moral bookkeeping? Lewis: No indeed. Look at the thief on the cross. He made it to paradise even though his life’s red ink certainly outweighed the black. Kennedy:.”
Peter Kreeft Quote: “Only Judaism and Christianity are religions of public record, eyewitnessed facts.”
