If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.

God meant for things to be much easier than we have made them

If I have achieved anything in my life, it is because I have not been embarrassed to talk about God.

It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.

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

The older I get, the more I meet people, the more convinced I am that we must only work on ourselves, to grow in grace. The only thing we can do about people is to love them.

I can write no other than this: unless we use the weapons of the spirit, denying ourselves and taking up our cross and following Jesus, dying with Him and rising with Him, men will go on fighting, and often from the highest motives, believing that they are fighting defensive wars for justice and in self-defense against present or future aggression.
