For a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people's love and concern for each other.

Faith without works is as dead as a doornail.

It's not your blue blood, your pedigree or your college degree. It's what you do with your life that counts.

We want to make it socially, morally, politically and religiously unacceptable to have substandard housing and homelessness.

This is God's work. It makes blisters and it makes sweat, but it's worth my time and it's worth your time....Working together as God's people in the world-I don't know of anything more rewarding.

What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. It’s what it does for people on the inside. It’s that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves life’s losers. This is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them. We see Habitat homeowners go back to school and get their GEDs, enter college, do all kinds of things they never believed they could do before they moved into their house. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change.

There are sufficient resources in the world for the needs of everybody, but not enough for the greed of even a significant minority.
