Favorite Charles Colson Quotes

1. "A government cannot be truly just without affirming the intrinsic value of human life." ~ Charles Colson
2. "When God wanted to defeat sin, His ultimate weapon was the sacrifice of His own Son. On Christmas Day two thousand years ago, the birth of a tiny baby in an obscure village in the Middle East was God's supreme triumph of good over evil." ~ Charles Colson
3. "What we do flows from who we are." ~ Charles Colson
4. "But all at once I realized that it was not my success God had used to enable me to help those in this prison, or in hundreds of others just like it. My life of success was not what made this morning so glorious -- all my achievements meant nothing in God's economy."No, the real legacy of my life was my biggest failure -- that I was an ex-convict. My greatest humiliation -- being sent to prison -- was the beginning of God's greatest use of my life; He chose the one thing in which I could not glory for His glory." ~ Charles Colson
5. "The Bible- banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it; dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it is more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints. Pieced together scraps of Scripture have converted whole whole villages of pagan Indians." ~ Charles Colson
6. "This idea that it's intolerant to object to anyone else's position, hovever, is a complete perversion of the historic understanding of tolrance, which was that one had to have the respect to listen to anyone else's point of view, even one with which one might profoundly disagree. Tolerance did not reject truth claims; it respected them." ~ Charles Colson
7. "Life is a mess. And theology must be lived out in the midst of that mess." ~ Charles Colson
8. "Few things are so deadly as a misguided sense of compassion." ~ Charles Colson
9. "I'd walk over my own grandmother to re-elect Richard Nixon." ~ Charles Colson
10. "Deep Throat is a guy who could have your files and mine in his trust." ~ Charles Colson
11. "I can work for the Lord in or out of prison." ~ Charles Colson
12. "The first 20 stories written about a public figure set the tone for the next 2,000 and it is almost impossible to reverse it." ~ Charles Colson
13. "I know the resurrection is a fact, and Watergate proved it to me. How? Because 12 men testified they had seen Jesus raised from the dead, then they proclaimed that truth for 40 years, never once denying it. Every one was beaten, tortured, stoned and put in prison. They would not have endured that if it weren't true. Watergate embroiled 12 of the most powerful men in the world-and they couldn't keep a lie for three weeks. You're telling me 12 apostles could keep a lie for 40 years? Absolutely impossible." ~ Charles Colson
14. "Moral crusaders with zeal but no ethical understanding are likely to give us solutions that are worse than the problems." ~ Charles Colson
15. "Christians need to take the lead in educating people that children are gifts, as my autistic grandson most surely is. By going down the path we're currently on, we might one day get rid of genetic diseases, but only at the cost of our own humanity." ~ Charles Colson
16. "So it is that intelligent people often reserve their outrage almost exclusively for what they see as judgmental attitudes – - the one evil they are willing to indict with impunity." ~ Charles Colson
