Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

One of the greatest diseases is to be nobody to anybody.

I love all religions, but I am in love with my own.

And so let us always meet each other with a smile, for the smile is the beginning of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally we want to do something.

The future is not in our hands. We have no power over it. We can act only today.

So we do not worry about the future.
