QUOTATION: Beatitudes

The Sermon on the Mount is at such variance with all that our world hold dear that the world will crucify anyone who tries to live up to its values. Because Christ preached them, He had to die. Calvary was the price He paid for the Sermon on the Mount. Only mediocrity survives. Those who call black black, and white white, are sentenced for intolerance. Only the grays live.

--Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen
