God meant for things to be much easier than we have made them

The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.

If you feed the poor, you're a saint. If you ask why they're poor, you're a Communist.

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.

We have all known the long loneliness, and we have found that the answer is community.

Don't worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.

We must talk about poverty, because people insulated by their own comfort lose sight of it.

Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.

We plant seeds that will flower as results in our lives, so best to remove the weeds of anger, avarice, envy and doubt, that peace and abundance may manifest for all.

There never has been security. No man has ever known what he would meet around the next corner; if life were predictable it would cease to be life, and be without flavor.

Gifts are like fish-hooks; for who is not aware that the greedy char is deceived by the fly which he swallows?

Be ready at all times for the gifts of God, and always for new ones.

Was true love when you wanted to slap someone and kiss him madly at the same time?

The people that really were important, that mattered, had a great foundation. I had no training. I had to learn while doing, and it was really difficult.

I can't deal with actors! I can't deal with myself. We're neurotic and miserable... I love doing what I'm doing, but while I'm doing it, I'm miserable.

In all my years as a news commentator I was never once, able to tell the truth, about anything.

Never be afraid to stand with the minority when the minority is right, for the minority which is right will one day be the majority.
