We can choose to use our lives for others to bring about a better and more just world for our children. People who make that choice will know hardship and sacrifice. But if you give yourself totally to the non-violence struggle for peace and justice you also find that people give you their hearts and you will never go hungry and never be alone. And in giving of yourself you will discover a whole new life full of meaning and love.

Grant me courage to serve others; For in service there is true life.

People who have lost their hunger for justice are not ultimately powerful. They are like sick people who have lost their appetite for what is truly nourishing. Such sick people should not frighten or discourage us. They should be prayed for along with the sick people who are in the hospital. "The love for justice that is in us is not only the best part of our being but it is also the most true to our nature."

When you have people together who believe in something very strongly - whether it's religion or politics or unions - things happen.

It is my deepest belief that only by giving our lives do we find life.

The only ones who make things change are fanatics. If you're not a fanatic around here, you can't cut it.

If you really want to make a friend, go to someone's house and eat with him... the people who give you their food give you their heart.
