I try to give to the poor people for love what the rich could get for money. No, I wouldn't touch a leper for a thousand pounds; yet I willingly cure him for the love of God.
Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.
I want you to be concerned about your next door neighbor. Do you know your next door neighbor?
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given.
Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There is nothing between.
If you want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Intense love does not measure, it just gives.
The miracle is not that we do this work, but that we are happy to do it.
Joy is prayer; joy is strength: joy is love; joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.
We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Let us always meet each other with smile, for the smile is the beginning of love.
Only very intelligent people don't wish they were in politics, and I'm dumb enough to want to be in there.
I think an artist has always to be out of step with his time.
I don't pray because I don't want to bore God.
When you are down and out something always turns up - and it is usually the noses of your friends.
A good artist should be isolated. If he isn't isolated, something is wrong.
Race hate isn't human nature; race hate is the abandonment of human nature.
The notion of directing a film is the invention of critics - the whole eloquence of cinema is achieved in the editing room.
