The openness of our hearts and minds can be measured by how wide we draw the circle of what we call family.

The dying, the cripple, the mental, the unwanted, the unloved-- they are Jesus in disguise.

The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.

The love for all living creatures is the most noble attribute of man.

Just as a mother would protect with her life her own son, her only son, so one should cultivate an unbounded mind towards all beings, and loving-kindness towards all the world.

The test is always how we treat the poor.
