When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

(People achieve) fullness of being in fellowship, in care for others.

When faith is completely replaced by creed, worship by discipline, love by habit; when the crisis of today is ignored because of the splendors of the past; when faith becomes an heirloom rather than a living fountain; when religion speaks only in the name of authority rather than with the voice of compassion, its message becomes meaningless.

Our concern is not how to worship in the catacombs but how to remain human in the skyscrapers.

Just to be is a blessing. Just to live is holy.

When we pray, we bring G-d into the world

The beginning of our happiness lies in the understanding that life without wonder is not worth living.
