- Saint
Basil the Great
Bishop and Doctor of the Church (330?-379)
"Are you not a robber, you who consider your own that which
has been given you solely to distribute to others? This bread
which you have set aside is the bread of the hungry; this garment
you have locked away is the clothing of the naked; those shoes
which you let rot are the shoes of him who is barefoot; those
riches you have hoarded are the riches of the poor."
- Carlo
Carretto
Little Brother
(1910-1988)
"The desert is always the same, the sky is always beautiful,
the road deserted. ... The only thing which is always new is
God."
- Rabbi
Abraham Heschel
Teacher and Prophet (1907-1972)
"I did not ask for success; I asked for wonder. And You
gave it to me."
- Saint
Justin
Philosopher and Martyr (100?-165)
"You
can kill us but you cannot do us any real harm."
- Clive
Staples Lewis
Writer and Teacher
"A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things
Jesus said wouldn't be a great moral teacher. He'd be either
a lunatic-on a level with a man who says he's a poached egg-or
else he'd be the devil of hell. You must make your choice. Either
this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something
worse."
