Solitude, community, and ministry are certainly not just for celibates! Celibates also have a hard time keeping up.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

My whole life I have been complaining that my work was constantly interrupted, until I discovered that my interruptions were my work.

In a world so torn apart by rivalry, anger, and hatred, we have the privileged vocation to be living signs of a love that can bridge all divisions and heal all wounds.

The main question is not, how can we hide our wounds...but how can we put our woundedness in service to others.

Those who keep speaking about the sun while walking under a cloudy sky are messengers of hope, the true saints of our day.

If you're focused, you can't get bored.

I believe that the mind can be permanently profaned by the habit of attending to trivial things.

...this clumsy collision of two very impatient forms of ignorance was known as the quarrel of Science and Religion.

All you leave the world is what you've done. No one will ever know the conditions, the comments, the pressures. Only the work remains.

Enjoy the journey of life and not just the endgame. I'm also a great believer in treating others as you would like to be treated.

We should not be much concerned about faults we have the courage to own.

You are going to die. Your physical body will disintegrate. You cannot help that.

I would never want to be a trend-spotter, in any field. I just think I would be bad at it. I have very limited range, in terms of the tone of the show, that I'm capable of making.

The child should live in an environment of beauty.

I'm far more relaxed with German. I'm a control freak. I like to know exactly who's saying and doing what.
