I choose to look at people through God, using God as my glasses, colored with His love for them.

Prayer at its highest is a two-way conversation - and for me the most important part is listening to God's replies.

The trouble with nearly everybody who prays is that he says 'Amen' and runs away before God has a chance to reply. Listening to God is far more important than giving Him our ideas.

We shall not become like Christ until we give Him more time.

The sense of being led by an unseen hand which takes mine, while another hand reaches ahead and prepares the way, grows upon me daily.

Oh, this thing of keeping in constant touch with God, of making him the object of my thought and the companion of my conversations, is the most amazing thing I ever ran across.

The simple program of Christ for winning the whole world is to make each person he touches magnetic enough with love to draw others.

Just the privilege of fellowship with God is infinitely more than any thing that God could give. When he gives himself he is giving more than anything else in the universe.

If you are weary of some sleepy form of devotion, probably God is as weary of it as you are.

The Lord will not wish to count my trophies, but my scars.

Listening to God is far more important than giving Him your ideas.

Singing diminishes sorrow.

The country is dying cause of an lack of men, not a lack of programms.

The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.

Power and love can break the most stubborn resistence

If you wished to be loved, love.

In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you.

You can't let doubt or fear or guilt eat away at you. You are good and you need to remember that above all else. Love is stronger than hatred, and you are made of love.

I think of the Catholic worker movement and Dorothy Day and Peter Maurin and others.

There was no Twitter when I was in high school, so I can't even imagine the pressures or the expectations of pursuing likes or living life in that kind of mentality.
