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

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.

Just once, I wanted to lose something without the whole world watching.

Politicians are frightened to death of people who actually believe in liberty.

I first start with weep with those who weep, rejoice with those who rejoice, be sympathetic, show tenderness and brotherly kindness.
