Paul Ryan

God, Government, Why

Compassion is not a popular virtue. Very often when I talk to religious people, and mention how important it is that compassion is the key, that it's the sine-qua-non of religion, people look kind of balked, and stubborn sometimes, as much to say, what's the point of having religion if you can't disapprove of other people?

Gary Vaynerchuk

Best, Today, Hate

Lionel Blue

Family, Decent, Neutral

Eric Davis

Nice, Find, Pretty
