buckley on reason

We do not abandon reason, we merely recognize its limitations. We reason to the existence of God, it is revealed to us that His Son was also the incarnation, and that such was His love of us that He endured a torture excruciating in pain, and unique in aspect — the God of hosts, mutilated by His own creatures, whom He dies forgiving, loving. Can we do less? Yes, we do less, but we must try to do more, until we die. ~ William F. Buckley, Nearer My God

As a whacko right-winged conservative I always liked National Review and really miss Buckley. Thanks Melinda for this quote.
