Prayer makes your heart bigger, until it is capable of containing the gift of God himself. Prayer begets faith, faith begets love, and love begets service on behalf of the poor.

A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.

We shall draw from the heart of suffering itself the means of inspiration and survival.

If we open a quarrel between past and present we shall find that we have lost the future.
