“People are unrealistic, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.”

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“In the final analysis it is between you and God, it was never between you and them anyway.”

“Love to be real, it must cost—it must hurt—it must empty us of self.”

“Our poor people are great people, a very lovable people, They don't need our pity and sympathy. They need our understanding love and they need our respect. We need to tell the poor that they are somebody to us that they, too, have been created, by the same loving hand of God, to love and be loved.”

“What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight; build it anyway.”

“It is not the magnitude of our actions, but the amount of love that is put into them that matters.”
