It is impossible that a man who is false to his friends and neighbours should be true to the public. -- Bishop Berkeley, _Maxims Concerning Patriotism_

When morality comes up against profit, it is seldom profit that loses.: Shirley Chisholm (1924-____) In "The Speaker's Electronic Reference Collection," AApex Software, 1994.

I do not see why man should not be just as cruel as nature.--A. Hitler, _Mein Kampf_

This year, or this month, or, more likely, this very day, we have failed to practise ourselves the kind of behaviour we expect from other people.
C.S. Lewis The Case for Christianity

All men alike stand condemned, not by alien codes of ethics, but by their own, and all men therefore are conscious of guilt.-- C S Lewis --The Problem of Pain

A man's real belief is that which he lives by. What a man believes is the thing he does, not the thing he thinks.-- George Macdonald

A long habit of not thinking a thing wrong gives it a superficial appearance of being right.-- Thomas Paine

In the area of morals, we have none of these answers except on the basis of a true, space-time, historic Fall. There was a time before the Fall, and then man turned from his proper integration point by choice; and in so doing, there was a moral discontinuity --- man became abnormal. Remove that and the Christian answer in the area of morals is gone. Often I find evangelicals playing games with the first half of Genesis. But if you remove a true, historic, space-time Fall, the answers do not exist. ("He is There and He is Not Silent", Francis Schaeffer)

Good conduct arises out of good doctrine. It is only when we have grasped clearly who we are in Christ, that the desire will grow within us to live a life that is worthy of our calling and fitting to our character as God's new society.-- John R. W. Stott

What we are governs how we think, and how we think determines how we act.-- John R. W. Stott

Two things, belief and conduct, are indissolubly bound together; they are part of one whole, as roots and fruit are both alike parts of one tree, organically connected. -- LIONEL SPENCER THORNTON
