Love . . . includes fellowship in suffering, in joy and in effort.

If the extension of your compassion does not include all living beings, then you will be unable to find peace by yourself.

Thinking about death... produces love for life. When we are familiar with death, we accept each week, each day, as a gift. Only if we are able thus to accept life bit by bit does it become precious.

Renunciation of thinking is a declaration of spiritual bankruptcy.

The first step in the evolution of ethics is a sense of solidarity with other human beings.

The quiet conscience is an invention of the devil.

We are gripped by God’s will of love, and must help carry out that will in this world, in small things as in great things, in saving as in pardoning. To be glad instruments of God’s love in this imperfect world is the service to which we are called.
