Education

"THE education of a child belongs properly to the parent, and not to the State. The family is prior to the State in right, and this is particularly true of rights over children."

Persecution

"BUT IF I be asked what sign we may look for to show that the advance of the Faith is at hand, I would answer by a word the modern world has forgotten: Persecution. When that shall be at work it will be morning."

~Hilaire Belloc: Survivals and New Arrivals

Printing

"PRINTING diffused true knowledge, but it also diffused (and on a far greater scale) false knowledge and unproved irrational affirmation." 

~Hilaire Belloc: The Crisis of Our Civilization
