What is the "extraordinary"? It is the love of Jesus Christ himself, love that goes to the cross in suffering obedience.

Your life as a Christian should make non believers question their disbelief in God.

The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Let it be then let it go.

Always remember, success leaves clues.

I never knew anybody . . . who found life simple. I think a life or a time looks simple when you leave out the details.

I do think that I am generally optimistic.

Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.

Go into something because you really like it, and then do it with a drive and enthusiasm so that it isn't work.

Sometimes I feel like I'm possessed with a multitude of demons.

Losing my mind From this hollow in my heart

The world is a mess and I want to laugh because all I can think is how horrible and beautiful it is, that our eyes blur the truth when we can't bear to see it.

Good is not good when better is expected.
