The final word is love.

It is people who are important, not the masses.

Do not give to the poor expecting to get their gratitude so that you can feel good about yourself. If you do, your giving will be thin and short-lived, and that is not what the poor need; it will only improvish them further. Give only if you have something you must give; give only if you are someone for whom giving is its own reward.

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

It's Godlike to love man - even in his sin - merely because he's man.

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

Two years ago, I was saying as I planted seeds in the garden, "I must believe in these seeds, that they fall into the earth and grow into flowers and radishes and beans." It is a miracle to me because I do not understand it. The very fact that they use glib technical phrases does not make it any less a miracle, and a miracle we all accept. Then why not accept God's miracles?
