People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.

Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.

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

You can't write about things without doing them. You just have to live that same way.

Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.

The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us. When we begin to take the lowest places, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion which led to the cross, then we can truly say, 'Now I have begun'.

The only solution is love.
