In losing stewardship we lose fellowship; we become outcasts from the great neighborhood of creation.

Only the action that is moved by love for the good at hand has the hope of being responsible and generous.

If conservationists will attempt to resume responsibility for their need to eat, they will be led back fairly directly to all their previous concerns for the welfare of nature.

A person who undertakes to grow a garden at home, by practices that will preserve rather than exploit the economy of the soil, has his mind precisely against what is wrong with us.

Living without expectations is hard but, when you can do it, good. Living without hope is harder, and that is bad. You have got to have hope, and you must'nt shirk it. Love, after all, hopeth all things. But maybe you must learn, and it is hard learning, not to hope out loud, especially for other people. You must not let your hope turn into expectation.

Charity even for one person does not make sense except in terms of an effort to love all Creation in response to the Creator's love for it.

Don't pray for the rain to stop; pray for good luck fishing when the river floods.
