It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.

If you are rushed for time, sow time and you will reap time. Go to church and spend a quiet hour in prayer. You will have more time than ever and your work will get done. Sow time with the poor. Sit and listen to them, give them your time lavishly. You will reap time a hundredfold.

The holy man was the whole man, the man of integrity, who not only tried to change the world, but to live in it as it was.

If you are going to try and change things, you had better have your wits about you.

I think that just as we're in the nuclear era we're also in an era of non-violence. It's undefeatable.

What we would like to do is change the world - make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do....We can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God, please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our enemy as well as our friend.

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