In a world filled with hate, we must still dare to hope. In a world filled with anger, we must still dare to comfort. In a world filled with despair, we must still dare to dream. And in a world filled with distrust, we must still dare to believe.
How can the heart travel to God, when it is chained by its desires?
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other's welfare, social justice can never be attained.
The lust of the flesh directs these desires [of personal union], however, to satisfaction of the body, often at the cost of a real and full communion of persons.

Man will only become better when you make him see what he is like.
Love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence. Love others as well as you love yourself.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
He who knoweth his own self, knoweth God.
Though our feelings come and go, God's love for us does not.
