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

The works of mercy are the opposite of the works of war, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, nursing the sick, visiting the prisoner. But we are destroying crops, setting fire to entire villages and to the people in them. We are not performing the works of mercy but the works of war.

Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.

When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them.

We must talk about poverty, because people insulated by their own comfort lose sight of it.

The only way to live in any true security is to live so close to the bottom that when you fall you do not have far to drop, you do not have much to lose.

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