There is happiness in the love of labor, there is misery in the love of gain.

God is not nice. God is not an uncle. God is an earthquake.

The degree to which one is sensitive to other people's suffering, to other (people's) humanity, is the index of one's own humanity

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

One of the major symptoms of the general crisis existent in our world today is our lack of sensitivity to words. We use words as tools. We forget that words are a repository of the spirit. The tragedy of our times is that the vessels of the spirit are broken. We cannot approach the spirit unless we repair the vessels. Reverence for words - an awareness of the wonder of words, of the mystery of words - is an essential prerequisite for prayer. By the word of God the world was created.

The hour calls for moral grandeur and spiritual audacity.

Prayer begins where our power ends.
