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

The tragedy of religion is partly due to its isolation from life, as if God could be segregated.

Never once in my life did I ask God for success or wisdom or power or fame. I asked for wonder, and he gave it to me.

Spiritual life begins to decay when we fail to sense the grandeur of what is eternal in time.

The meaning of the Sabbath is to celebrate time rather than space. Six days a week we live under the tyranny of things of space; on the Sabbath we try to become attuned to holiness in time. It is a day on which we are called upon to share in what is eternal in time, to turn from the results of creation to the mystery of creation; from the world of creation to the creation of the world.

The road to the sacred leads through the secular.

I am commanded therefore I am.
