“Love, Work, Friendships and Life have to contain a foundation of commitment”

“If there is no friendship with them [the poor] and no sharing of the life of the poor, then there is no authentic commitment to liberation, because love exists only among equals.”

“The bottom line is that you have to choose who you are going to commit to-- that's the foundation of true love, not the lack of other options”

“Love is a vessel that contains both security and adventure, and commitment offers one of the great luxuries of life: time. Marriage is not the end of romance, it is the beginning.”

“There must be a stronger foundation than mere friendship or sexual attraction. Unconditional love, agape love, will not be swayed by time or circumstances. ”

“If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship, we must love our friends for their sakes rather than for our own.”
