Cultivate the Heart with More Importance then the Head

"The virtues of men are of more consequence to society than their abilities; and for this reason, the heart should be cultivated with more assiduity than the head."

There is a Moral Truth

-Kinsman
*

"We are watching a civilization decide whether it still believes in moral truth at all. 

A culture that abandons 
virtue for outcomes, 
truth for narrative, 
and conscience for consensus 
does not drift gently into decline; 
it slides into something colder and harder, 
where power masquerades as compassion 
and coercion is baptized as care. 

Once “fairness” replaces goodness, literally anything becomes permissible in its name."

Virtue is not a Behavior

-Yellowstone FB

*

"A virtuous person loves the right and the good. 


Virtue is not behavior, though it nearly always results in behavior. 


Actions are the outworking of a person’s virtue, which is cultivated into his or her character. 


Under this Christian ethical system, any given choice is a function of virtue."


-Battle For the American Mind, by Pete Hegseth with David Goodwin, pg.165

A Foundation in Freedom

-internet photo
*
"Statesmen, my dear Sir, may plan and speculate for liberty, but it is religion and morality alone which can establish the principles upon which freedom can securely stand. 

The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue."

-John Adams, 21 June 1776
