"You see, idealism detached from action is just a dream. But idealism allied with pragmatism, with rolling up your sleeves and making the world bend a bit, is very exciting. It's very real. It's very strong."
"To be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater."
"God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them."
"In general people put too much faith in the rich, the famous, the politicians, and not enough faith in themselves."
"Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed."
