Videos Archives - Scott Bradford: Off on a Tangent

Scott Bradford has been putting his opinions on his website since 1995—before most people knew what a website was. He has been a professional web developer in the public- and private-sector for over twenty years. He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.

Quotes

Speech is human, silence is divine, yet also brutish and dead: therefore we must learn both arts.

I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.

Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it’s stored than to anything on which it’s poured.

The up-to-date science of one century soon becomes the primitivism of the next.

It’s always good to break ice that you’re not standing on.

To sit home, read one’s favorite paper, and scoff at the misdeeds of the men who do things is easy, but it is markedly ineffective. It is what evil men count upon the good men’s doing.

A fool, for example, thinks Shakespeare a great poet . . . yet the fool has never read Shakespeare.

Use a picture. It’s worth a thousand words.

Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

In the prevailing culture, priority is given to the outward, the immediate, the visible, the quick, the superficial, and the provisional. What is real gives way to appearances.

No one hates Buddha; he is dead. But hatred against [Christ] would live on, because he lives. . . .

Defending the West is made more difficult by the fact that so many Europeans harbor an extreme anti-Americanism. Many do not accept that the United States is a part of the same Western civilization, and that it stands or falls together with Europe in the face of a new totalitarian threat.

I am a gun. I can be used for both good and evil. I can take a life. I can be used to save them.

If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

If you want to become invaluable in a workplace—in any community—just do the useful things no one else is doing.

One of the best pieces of advice I’ve ever heard goes something like this: If you want success, figure out the price, then pay it.

The fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus [and] the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

This is the real objection to that torrent of modern talk about treating crime as disease, about making a prison merely a hygienic environment like a hospital, of healing sin by slow scientific methods. The fallacy of the whole thing is that evil is a matter of active choice whereas disease is not.

The more I see the better satisfied I am that I am an American; free born and free bred, where I acknowledge no man as my superior, except for his own worth, or as my inferior, except for his own demerit.
