A person is a person through other persons. None of us comes into the world fully formed. We would not know how to think, or walk, or speak, or behave as human beings unless we learned it from other human beings. We need other human beings in order to be human. I am because other people are. A person is entitled to a stable community life, and the first of these communities is the family.

Despite all of the ghastliness in the world, human beings are made for goodness. The ones that are held in high regard are not militarily powerful, nor even economically prosperous. They have a commitment to try and make the world a better place.

I wish I could shut up, but I can't, and I won't.

God's dream is that you and I and all of us will realize that we are family, that we are made for togetherness, for goodness, and for compassion.

Beware when you take on the Church of God. Others have tried and have bitten the dust.

You think sometimes that maybe if the person who hurt you is clobbered you will feel a little better. But it actually doesn't.

God's love is too great to be confined to any one side of a conflict or to any one religion.
