What could you do to a man who owns nothing? You can't starve a fasting man, you can't steal from someone who has no money, you can't ruin someone who hates prestige.

All getting separates you from others; all giving unites to others.

Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.

I have sinned against my brother the ass.

We have been called to heal wounds, to unite what has fallen away, and to bring home those who have lost their way. Many who seem to us to be children of the Devil will still become Christ's disciples.

Sanctify yourself and you will sanctify society.
