Envy comes from people’s ignorance of, or lack of belief, in their own gifts.

To love someone is to show to them their beauty, their worth and their importance.

Love doesn't mean doing extraordinary or heroic things. It means knowing how to do ordinary things with tenderness.

Each person is sacred, no matter what his or her culture, religion, handicap, or fragility. Each person is created in God’s image; each one has a heart, a capacity to love and to be loved.

Community is not an ideal; it is people. It is you and I. In community we are called to love people just as they are with their wounds and their gifts, not as we want them to be.

Growth begins when we start to accept our own weakness

Those we most often exclude from the normal life of society, people with disabilities, have profound lessons to teach us

Prayer is like a secret garden made up of silence and rest and inwardness. But there are a thousand and one doors into this garden and we all have to find our own.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

We define ourselves, in part, by the discriminations we make. The value of what we love is enriched by our understanding of what we dislike.

Modern instruments were designed to throw sound all in one direction.

Sleep lingers all our lifetime about our eyes, as night hovers all day in the boughs of the fir-tree.

The whole universe is contained within a single human being - you.
