The salvation of mankind lies only in making everything the concern of all.

I am deeply convinced that God is present both in the lives of every person and also in the lives of entire nations.

It makes me happier, more secure, to think that I do not have to plan and manage everything for myself, that I am only a sword made sharp to smite the unclean forces, an enchanted sword to cleave and disperse them. Grant, O Lord, that I may not break as I strike! Let me not fall from Thy hand!

Human beings are better and lazier than their rules and instructions.

Whenever the tissue of life is woven of legalistic relationships, this creates an atmosphere of spiritual mediocrity that paralyzes a person's noblest impulses.
