“The conservatives are fools: They whine about the decay of traditional values, yet they enthusiastically support technological progress and economic growth. Apparently it never occurs to them that you can't make rapid, drastic changes in the technology and the economy of a society without causing rapid changes in all other aspects of the society as well, and that such rapid changes inevitably break down traditional values.”
― Theodore J. Kaczynski, Industrial Society and Its Future

“Traditional values and truths are often rooted in social conventions, dogmas, or power structures, so they need to be reexamined and redefined.
We can uncover deeper, perhaps unsettling truths about ourselves and the world by moving beyond conventional morality and perspectives. .("Behind the frosted glassâ€�)”
― Erik Pevernagie

“Forget professional,â€� Penny said. “Tonight, you and I are just man and woman like Adam and Eve, Tarzan and Jane.”

“Why do women waste their time trying to convince their insecure family members and girlfriends that they are beautiful? Self esteem is not a beauty cream that you can rub all over them and see instant results. Instead, convince them they are not stupid. Every intelligent woman knows outward beauty is a nip, tuck, chemical peel or diet away. If you don't like it, fix it.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“If a man says he is Christian, yet he has no problems knocking you up, having premarital sex or living in sin with you, then you have to ask yourself, “What version of Christ does he believe in?”
― Shannon L. Alder

“Marriage and family life give us constant opportunities to deny ourselves for the sake of others. And yet self-denial is not a mask for self-contempt, but the necessary means for achieving self-mastery; for self-mastery makes possible our self-giving and self-fulfillment. Sin is not wanting too much, but settling for too little. It's settling for self-gratification rather than self-fulfillment.”
― Scott Hahn, First Comes Love: Finding Your Family in the Church and the Trinity

“God will never call you in a direction that would cause you to sin. However, he will call you to be creative enough to find a way to make what you want come true through honorable ways.”
― Shannon L. Alder

“It is their attachment to us rather than their independence from us that we value in our pets.”
― M.Scott Peck

“Discrimination is discrimination, even when people claim it's 'tradition.”
― DaShanne Stokes

“Despite all the obstacles we had to face regularly, we were guided by fundamental values that made our paths less painful. Honor, faith, respect, benevolence, fellowship, and, above all, family unity were cherished tenets, deeply revered, and held their value. In today's society, they are fading away slowly, and if we don't defend them now, they will, without fail, disappear.”
― C. J. Thorin, The Wolf and the Shepherd

“You'll marry your studies? Marry your books? You already have one degree but you want another. You'll marry your degrees?”

“So many of the men who came to the West were southernersâ€�
men looking for work and a new life after the Civil War—that chivalrousness and strict codes of honor were soon thought of as
western traits. There were very few women in Wyoming during territorial days, so when they did arrive (some as mail-order
brides from places like Philadelphia) there was a standoffishness between the sexes and a formality that persists now. Ranchers still
tip their hats and say, "Howdy, ma'am" instead of shaking hands with me.
Even young cowboys are often evasive with women. It's not that they're Jekyll and Hyde creatures—gentle with animals and
rough on women—but rather, that they don't know how to bring their tenderness into the house and lack the vocabulary to express
the complexity of what they feel.”
― Gretel Ehrlich

“Why are so many Americans for male circumcision but against female circumcision? Both are equally cruel and barbaric traditions.”

“It is a matter of economic wellbeing that most families be formed as mother, father, and children in a single-family household.”

“As a firstborn I also had a duty to succeed my father and look after my mother and siblings. Although school taught me that this was an outdated practice and that I would have been better off focusing on inheriting my father's assets for my own benefit, it was the strong emphasis on family values that ultimately prevailed. This was not because they had sounded good on paper or had been presented by a world-famous researcher, but because I saw they worked through my experience.”

“Today, relationships/marriages need to be sensual, not traditional. Their ‘terms and conditionsâ€� should not hinge on gender or societal norms but on a shared path to ecstasy.”
― Lebo Grand

“The world is going to crack in half: that's what is happening! And it will break across us, the old people...we don't belong here or there. Lord have mercy!”
― Valentin Rasputin, Farewell to Matyora

“We didn’t need to read the puranas or epics, we just grew up listening to the stories narrated by our grandmothers. It caught our fancy, it fired and enriched our imagination, gave ideas and metaphors, and colour to our language! It is sad that the oral tradition kept alive by grandmothers is slowly dying! Though there are exceptions! I was pleasantly surprised when I heard my daughter-in-law sing Krishna songs in her mother tongue Gujarati, and Ashtapati while bathing her babies or when putting them to sleep!”
― Lalitha Ganesan, Vergal: A Memoir

“In fulfilling my duty to my father, I managed to keep my family coherent in an environment that is conducive for homeschooling. While I could have left my mother and sisters to fend for themselves in the Eastern Cape, it seemed more logical to take them with me, and work towards a house to accommodate everyone. The vulnerability of the female headed household, especially in rural South Africa is a well-documented phenomenon, leaving them could have sealed their fate.”

“He opposed the capitalist imperial order, but he remained at heart a traditionalist, imbued with the patriotic values of his childhood and implacably wedded to a patriarchal view of society.”

“The African "Devil" is the only non-, black-colored character born of a continent of black that still retains all the attributes of a traditional African.”
― G. Plason Z. Plakar

“The ease with which certain words come to be musused is truly extraordinary: there are some who have gone so far as to give the name 'traditions' to popular habits, or even to conventions of quite recent origin, withouth importnace or real significance. As for ourselves, we refuse to give this name to what is only a more or less automatic respect for certain outward forms, which are sometimes nothing more than 'superstitions' in the etymological sense of the word. True tradition dewells in the outlook of a people or race or civilization, and it springs from causes that lie far deeper.”
― René Guénon, East and West
