People are hungry for God. What [a] terrible meeting [it] would be with our neighbour if we give them only ourselves.

I never look at the masses as my responsibility. I look at the individual. I can love only one person at a time. I can feed only one person at a time. Just one, one, one.

These concerns (for orphan children in India and elsewhere in the world) are very good, but often these same people are not concerned with the millions that are killed by the deliberate decision of their own mothers.

I feel called to help individuals, to love each human being. I never think in terms of crowds in general but in terms of persons. Were I to think about crowds, I would never begin anything.

If each of us would only sweep our own doorstep, the whole World would be clean.

In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.

We can do no great things-only small things with great love.
