My strength returns to me with my cup of coffee and the reading of the psalms.

These powerless people at the bottom are the ones with whom we must begin. They must have the insight and the knowledge to work together and recognise that they are on the right track.

What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?

We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread, and we are not alone anymore. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet, too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.

I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'

An act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself of some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all.

Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
