We are all one body, we are all one.

The work is more important than the talking and the writing about the work.

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.

The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.

Too much praise makes you feel you must be doing something terribly wrong.

Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.

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