We have a planet that is at risk, where resources don't have a permanent life. We are going to have to make the decision: are we going to survive or are we waiting for our extinction? One day we will wake up and find people are fighting not for oil but water.

People almost always imagine that life is going to be better in town and that the streets of the town are paved with gold.

We must not allow ourselves to become like the system we oppose.

Your ordinary acts of love and hope point to the extraordinary promise that every human life is of inestimable value.

When you are in love you strive to do the things that will please your lover.

The future of our fragile, beautiful planet home is in our hands. As God's family, we are stewards of God's creation. We can be wantonly irresponsible, or we can be caring and compassionate. God says, "I have set before you life and death... Choose life."

There is no situation that is not transformable. There is no person who is hopeless. There is no set of circumstances that cannot be turned about by ordinary human beings and their natural capacity for love of the deepest sort.
