Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.

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.

We want no revolution; we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.

Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.

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

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

You see I'm such a fool that I'm never afraid of appearing foolish.
