No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.

We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.

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

People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.

The whole point of view of the anarchist is that everything must start from the bottom up, from man. It seems to me so human a philosophy.
