Popular Thomas Malcolm Muggeridge Quotes

I never met a rich man who was happy, but I have only very occasionally met a poor man who did not want to become a rich man.

The orgasm has replaced the Cross as the focus of longing and the image of fulfillment.

As Man alone, Jesus could not have saved us, as God alone, he would not; Incarnate, he could and did.

Where, then, does happiness lie? In forgetfulness, not indulgence, of the self. In escape from sensual appetites, not in their satisfaction. We live in a dark, self-enclosed prison, which is all we see or know if our glance is fixed ever downward. To lift it upward, becoming aware of the wide, luminous universe outside this alone is happiness. At its highest level, such happiness is the ecstasy that mystics have inadequately described. At more humdrum levels, it is human love; the delights and beauties of our dear earth, its colors and shapes and sounds; the enchantment of understanding and laughing, and all other exercise of such faculties as we possess; the marvel of the meaning of everything, fitfully glimpsed, inadequately expounded, but ever present.

Only dead fish swim with the stream.
