We must always aim for the impossible; if we lower our goal, we also diminish our effort.

Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.

You can spend your time agonizing or organizing.

Those who cannot see Christ in the poor are atheists indeed.

God forbid we should have great institutions. The thing is to have many small centres. The ideal is community.

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?

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