You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.

Let us remember the past with gratitude, live the present with enthusiasm, and look forward to the future with confidence.

I plead with you--never, ever give up on hope, never doubt, never tire, and never become discouraged. Be not afraid.

The ultimate test of your greatness is the way you treat every human being.

Do not forget that true love sets no conditions; it does not calculate or complain, but simply loves.

If you want peace, work for justice. If you want justice, defend life. If you want life, embrace truth.

The way Jesus shows you is not easy. Rather, it is like a path winding up a mountain. Do not lose heart! The steeper the road, the faster it rises towards ever wider horizons.

Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.

Allow the light and the healing presence of Christ to shine brightly through your lives. In that way, all those who come in contact with you will discover the loving kindness of God.

Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.

We are not the sum of our weaknesses and failures, we are the sum of the Father's love for us and our real capacity to become the image of His Son Jesus.

In my dreams of this city I am always lost.

God can deliver you so well that some people won’t believe your testimony.

I sometimes find it half a sin, To put to words the grief i feel, For words like nature,half reveal, and half conceal the soul within.

How could I have been so stupid to ignore everything I’d had in my life? The color red alone was worth kingdoms.

I didn't really understand racism because I grew up in an all-black society, so I didn't see how it was possible not to like me!

No true manhood can be trained by a merely intellectual process. You cannot train men by the intellect alone; you must train them by the heart.

To enter into the hearts of men belongs to him who can explore the human heart.

As soon as you feel too old to do a thing, do it.

I warn you not to fall ill, I warn you not to get old.

Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, inflame our hearts with love of Thee.
