“Two of the greatest hungers in our world today are the hunger for spirituality and the hunger for social change. The connection between the two is the one the world is waiting for, especially the new generation. And the first hunger will empower the second.”

“It just doesn’t make spiritual sense to suggest that the evil all lies “out there” with our adversaries and enemies, and none of it is “in here” with us—embedded in our own attitudes, behaviors, and policies.”

“Faith reminds us that change is always possible.”

“Hope is believing in spite of the evidence, and then watching the evidence change.”

“Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed.”

“The myriads that raise the cry of hunger wail in the greatest empire in the world”

“I have two foes in the world, twins inextricably interrelated -- the hunger of the hungry and the glut of the glutted!”
