• Humility: The realization of our dependence on God. I have always had strong feelings about that word regardless of what anyone's background might be.

• We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies, Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy, and patience. We, the women of one country, will be too tender of those of another country To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.

  35 Copy quote

• There is one kind of charity common enough among us... It is that patchwork philanthropy which clothes the ragged, feeds the poor, and heals the sick. I am far from decrying the noble spirit which seeks to help a poor or suffering fellow being... [However] what advances a nation or a community is not so much to prop up its weakest and most helpless members, but to lift up the best and the most gifted, so as to make them of the greatest service to the country.

• As for me, I used to be a bird
  with a gentle white womb,
  someone cut my throat
  just for laughs,
  I don’t know.
  As for me, I used to be a great albatross
  and whirled over the seas.
  Someone put an end to my journey,
  without any charity in the tone of it.
  But even stretched out on the ground
  I sing for you now
  my songs of love.

  Alda Merini

• A charity which knows only how to give money is not yet Christian love. You will be free of guilt only when you also give your time, your energy, and your resourcefulness to help end such abuses for good, and when you allow nothing that lies hidden in the storehouse of your Christian religion to remain unused against the cancer that is destroying the vitality of our society in such alarming ways.
