The farther the outward journey takes you, the deeper the inward journey must be.

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.

O Lord, make this Lenten season different from the other ones. Let me find you again. Amen.

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

Love? Love is for children and poor people...

The effect of liberty on individuals is that they may do what they please: we ought to see what it will please them to do before we risk congratulations.

An angry man is always a stupid man.

There is no disagreement between us [with Bernie Sanders ] on universal coverage for health care, the disagreement is where do we start from and where do we end up.

In love the other is important; in lust you are important

This is a dream for me, it really is, to be the leader of a staff going into the season.

The more perfect the artist, the more completely separate in him will be the man who suffers and the mind which creates.

A man that is well ordered in his soul needeth little the unkind demeanor of worldly people nor yet their proud behavior.

When I'm with Purple, I'm totally with Purple; when I'm doing my thing, I'm totally doing my own thing.
