I began asking, 'How can we know Christianity is true?' Sadly, none of the adults in my life offered an answer. Eventually I decided Christianity must not have any answers, and I became an agnostic.

Nancy Pearcey

Christianity, alcohol the two great means of corruption.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity.

Friedrich Nietzsche

Clothes are like a gloss that sets off everything; dresser were invented more to enhance physical advantages than to veil physical defects.

Honore de Balzac

It is often asserted that woman owes all the advantages of the position she occupies to-day to Christianity, but the facts of history show that the Christian Church has done nothing specifically for woman's elevation. In the general march of civilization, she has necessarily reaped the advantage of man's higher development, but we must not claim for Christianity all that has been achieved by science, discovery and invention.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton

We must sometimes bear with little defects in others, as we have, against our will, to bear with natural defects in ourselves. If we wish to keep peace with our neighbor, we should never remind anyone of his natural defects.

Philip Neri

Many people profess Christianity. Very few live it-almost none. And when you live it people may think you're crazy. It has been truthfully said that the world is equally shocked by one who repudiates Christianity as by one who practices it.

Peace Pilgrim

Alcohol removes inhibitions. It doesn't trigger criminal violence where there was none before.

Tammara Webber

Some of the morays have held on. When I was in school, I remember asking the question, "Why is it that whenever I walk into a fraternity there's alcohol everywhere and there's no alcohol in a sorority? Why is it that sororities won't allow alcohol, but fraternities do? What is that?" You know, nobody had a really good answer, and that's kind of held on. It's one of the issues that's being examined now - the role of alcohol in sexual assault.

Claire McCaskill

If you have so many defects, why are you surprised to find defects in others?

Josemaria Escriva

All of the usual formations have advantages and disadvantages, but none would work without the magic of the players.

Diego Forlan

I don't believe in alcohol. It's a sort of a medicinal necessity for the human condition, none of that stuff. I'm not a gambling man.

T. J. Miller

True Christianity, which will last forever, comes from the gospel words of Christ not from the epistles of Paul. The writings of Paul have been a danger and a hidden rock, the causes of the principal defects of Christian theology.

Ernest Renan

The defects of the children mirror the defects of the parents.

Herbert Spencer

But this people has deliberately made itself stupid, for nearly a millennium: nowhere have the two great European narcotics, alcohol and Christianity, been abused more dissolutely.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I learned that I had character defects, that I was allergic to alcohol and drugs, and that I had an obsession with all the bad stuff. But thank God that I woke and that I had good people around me to support me. There's not much more I can say about it. You have to want to be a better person.

Sugar Ray Leonard
