Indifference to evil is more insidious than evil itself. It is a silent justification affording evil acceptability in society.

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.

To pray is to dream in league with God, to envision His holy visions.

Prayer is not a stratagem for occasional use, a refuge to resort to now and then. It is rather like an established residence for the innermost self. All things have a home: the bird has a nest, the fox has a hole, the bee has a hive. A soul without prayer is a soul without a home.

People are anxious to save up financial means for old age; they should also be anxious to prepare a spiritual means for old age.... Wisdom, maturity, tranquility do not come all of a sudden when we retire.

In any free society where terrible wrongs exist, some are guilty - all are responsible.

It is gratefulness which makes the soul great.
