The anarchist philosophy is that the new social order is to be built up by groupings of men together in communities - whether in communities of work or communities of culture or communities of artists - but in communities.

Men are beginning to realize that they are not individuals but persons in society, that man alone is weak and adrift, that he must seek strength in common action.

Where were the saints to try to change the social order, not just to minister to the slaves, but to do away with slavery?

This is so rich a country that luxury has developed at the expense of necessities, and even the destitute partake of the luxury. We are the rich country of the world, like Dives at the feast. We must try hard, we must study to be poor like Lazarus at the gate, who was taken into Abraham's bosom.

Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.

When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.

Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
