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

Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance and the gospel of envy.

Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.

The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him.

A statesman is a politician who’s been dead for ten or fifteen years.

As an ancient axiom states, the Church makes the Eucharist, and the Eucharist makes the Church.

Congress shall make no law . . . abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press. . . .

If you are wise, mingle these two elements: do not hope without despair, or despair without hope.

And he who lives a hundred years, ignorant and unrestrained, a life of one day is better if a man is wise and reflecting.

Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.

It has often been said, and certainly not without justification, that the man of science is a poor philosopher.

Superstition is not the ally, but the enemy, of true religion.

Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

A dead thing can go with the stream, but only a living thing can go against it.

There can be only one true religion, because a thing cannot be false and true at the same time, and, therefore, all religions that contradict the teaching of the true Church must teach falsehood.

He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to discipline him.

If I ever get real rich, I hope I’m not real mean to poor people, like I am now.

Do not foolishly confuse ‘nice’ with ‘good.’

When I hear somebody sigh that ‘Life is hard,’ I am always tempted to ask, ‘Compared to what?’

And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.
