Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. And have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world. - Antonin Scalia

I remember that speech. He was firing back against the "worldly wise" who think they are wise in their own eyes - and hence are lawless before Almighty God.

May Scalia someday receieve justice against those who murdered him.

A saying to live by. It needs to be emblazoned on government buildings, on your wall, T shirts, everywhere. He was too great a man for evil to leave alone.

Amen! No wonder they off'd him. He was wise and Christian.

The constitution is not a living organism. It's a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn't say what it doesn't say.
—Antonin Scalia

God assumed from the beginning that the wise of the world would view Christians as fools, and He has not been disappointed. If I have brought any message, it is this: Have the courage to have your wisdom regarded as stupidity. Be fools for Christ. Have the courage to suffer the contempt of the sophisticated world.
—Antonin Scalia
