The world is bad but not without hope. It is only hopeless when you look at it from an ideal viewpoint.

The difference between humans and wild animals is that humans pray before they commit murder.

Humans need justice in the here and now and grace in the thereafter. Justice in the here and now is possible only without freedom,and grace in the thereafter only through the freedom of God.

What the world needs is not redemption from sin but redemption from hunger and oppression; it has no need to pin its hopes upon Heaven, it has everything to hope for from this earth.

The only remedy against hunger is reasonable birth control.

When death has you by the throat, you don't mince words.

The worst possible turn can not be programmed. It is caused by coincidence.
