QUOTATION: Never Deal with the Devil

In a Faustian bargain, the House always wins.

--Mark Shea

QUOTATION: Compromise

You cannot oppose an ideology with an opinion, or a philosophy of life with appeasing compromises. The mere fact that you give your right arm to a bear is no guarantee that he will not take your left.

--Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Characters of the Passion

QUOTATION: Compromise

Compromise is a word found only in the vocabulary of those who have no will to fight — the lazy, the cunning, the cowardly — for they consider themselves defeated before they start.

--St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #5

QUOTATION: No Compromising on Faith

Throughout history, the people of God have always been tempted to chop a piece off faith, not to be too rigid. But when we start to cut down on faith, to negotiate faith, selling it to the highest bidder we take the path of apostasy, we begin to lack faith in the Lord.

--Pope Francis

QUOTATION: Compromise

In matters of faith, compromise is in contradiction with God Who is the Truth.

--John Paul II, Ut Unum Sint, 1995
