Dennis Prager quotes

Goodness is about character - integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people. (Dennis Prager)
Happiness is dependent on self-discipline. We are the biggest obstacles to our own happiness. It is much easier to do battle with society and with others than to fight our own nature. View quote
Dennis Prager
Unhappy, let alone angry, religious people provide more persuasive arguments for atheism and secularism than do all the arguments of atheists. View quote
Dennis Prager
If we weren't born with anti-social passions - narcissism, envy, lust, meanness, greed, hunger for power, just to name the more obvious - why the need for so many laws, whether religious or secular, that govern behavior? View quote
Dennis Prager
As you get older and wiser you realize that when people are given anything without having to earn it (unless they are physically or mentally utterly incapable of earning anything), they become ungrateful and lazy. They also become less happy. View quote
Dennis Prager
For the Left, tolerance does not mean tolerance. It means first, acceptance. And second, celebration. That is totalitarianism: You not only have to live with what you may differ with, dear citizen, you have to celebrate it or pay a steep price. View quote
Dennis Prager
With the demise of the biblical religions that have provided the American people with their core values since their country's inception, we are reverting to the pagan worldview. Trees and animals are venerated, while man is simply one more animal in the ecosystem - and largely a hindrance, not an asset. View quote
Dennis Prager
Socialism values equality more than liberty. View quote
Dennis Prager
The biggest obstacle to people becoming better is that you have to really want to be a good person in order to be a better person, and most people would rather be other things. View quote
Dennis Prager
All happy people are grateful. Ungrateful people cannot be happy. We tend to think that being unhappy leads people to complain, but it's truer to say that complaining leads to people becoming unhappy. View quote
Dennis Prager
The problem for the Left, however, is that the moment it stops painting the Right as vile, it has to argue the issues. (Dennis Prager)
If your religion doesn't teach you the difference between good and evil, your religion is worse than useless. View quote
Dennis Prager
There have been huge Muslim demonstrations against cartoons depicting Muhammad and any other perceived insult against Islam. But I am unaware of a single demonstration of Muslims against Muslim terror directed at non-Muslims. View quote
Dennis Prager
The whole American experiment has been predicated on giving individuals as much control over their own lives as possible. View quote
Dennis Prager
No American conservative has ever argued that the government should never be involved in peoples' lives. That is anarchy, and we don't argue for that. View quote
Dennis Prager
The fact is that not only do people get more wise and more conservative as they get older, they get more kind and more generous, too. View quote
Dennis Prager
More harm was done in the 20th century by faceless bureaucrats than tyrant dictators. View quote
Dennis Prager
Most American elementary schools and high schools, and nearly all colleges and universities, teach everything that is significant from a liberal/Left perspective. View quote
Dennis Prager
Those who are compassionate when they should be tough will be tough when they should be compassionate. View quote
Dennis Prager
For the Left, affluence is won, not earned. View quote
Dennis Prager
The only difference between your local college and a Christian seminary is that the latter is more honest. (Dennis Prager)
The fact is that, except for those very few whose wealth is overwhelmingly or entirely inherited, the more affluent have usually worked harder than the less affluent. View quote
Dennis Prager
The world is a bad place. There are many wonderful people, but on the whole, humanity basically stinks. View quote
Dennis Prager
Want to raise children who will be happy adults? Teach them not to whine. View quote
Dennis Prager
Liberals tend to put the onus of your success on society and conservatives on you and your family. View quote
