The prime duty of help to the poor by the Church is not to bring temporal relief to their needs, but salvation to their souls.

Whenever I have a serious problem or some assignment of a creative nature...I always receive more assistance in the early morning hours than at any other time of the day.

My soul has made its greatest growth as I have been driven to my knees by adversity and affliction.

Self-Reliance is a prerequisite to the complete freedom to act.

It is perfectly evident...that to thank the Lord in all things is not merely a courtesy, it is a commandment as binding upon us as any other commandment

The only motive strong enough to induce men to exercise the self control required by the religion of Jesus is love.

The whole problem is spirituality-not finances. Spiritually strong = welfare strong.
