Dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.

If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.

We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.

Don't worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.

We must talk about poverty, because people insulated by their own comfort lose sight of it.

Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.

The older I get, the more I meet people, the more convinced I am that we must only work on ourselves, to grow in grace. The only thing we can do about people is to love them.

The world of those who are happy is different from the world of those who are not.

Don't waste your one beautiful life.

All preachers of morality, as also all theologians have a bad habit in common: all of them try to persuade man that he is very ill, and that a severe, final, radical cure is necessary.

I'm deeply curious about Jewish things. I've toyed around with the idea of going to rabbinical school.

Tell me what time you spend alone with God... and I'll tell you how spiritual you are.

We have no filter for music, but we feel it when what's being spoken and sung is telling a story and evidencing a character.

For every dream of yours that you make come true, you'll pay the price in heartbreak.

I have a strong will to love you for eternity.

I'd rather have half of my idea change the world than my whole idea be a few papers in a journal.

Mankind are so ready to bestow their admiration on the dead, because the latter do not hear it, or because it gives no pleasure to the objects of it. Even fame is the offspring of envy.
