When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.

True obedience is a matter of love, which makes it voluntary, not compelled by fear or force.

Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.

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

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

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

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.
