I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.

You can't do God's work without suffering.

You have to do that here in your country. You must come to know the poor. Maybe our people here have material things, everything, but I think that if we all look into our own homes, how difficult we find it sometimes to smile at each other, and that the smile is the beginning of love.

My prayer for you is that you come to understand and have the courage to answer Jesus' call to you with the simple word 'yes'.

Very less to say, I can make one Catholic or Protestant.

Poverty was not created by God. It is we who have caused it, you and I through our egotism.

If you ask children in the west where's God, they'd point to the sky. If you ask children in India, they point at themselves.
