War is not inherent in human beings. We learn war and we learn peace. The culture of peace is something which is learned, just as violence is learned and war culture is learned.

Fasting and feasting are universal human responses, and any meal, shared with love, can be an agape.

The consumption society has made us feel that happiness lies in having things, and has failed to teach us the happiness of not having things.

Frugality is one of the most beautiful and joyous words in the language, and yet one that we are culturally cut off from understanding and enjoying.

When three generations are present in a family, one of them is bound to be revolutionary.
