“If one's life is
simple, contentment has to come. Simplicity is extremely important for happiness.
Having few desires, feeling satisfied with what you have, is very vital: satisfaction
with just enough food, clothing, and shelter to protect yourself from the elements.
And finally, there is an intense delight in abandoning faulty states of mind and
in cultivating helpful ones in meditation.”
- The
Dalai Lama |

"What
we would like to do is change the world-make it a little simpler for people to
feed, clothe, and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do.
-- Dorothy
Day The works
of mercy are the opposite of the works of war, feeding the hungry, sheltering
the homeless, nursing the sick, visiting the prisoner. But we are destroying crops,
setting fire to entire villages and to the people in them. We are not performing
the works of mercy but the works of war.

"What we would
like to do is change the world-make it a little simpler for people to feed, clothe,
and shelter themselves as God intended for them to do. And, by fighting for better
conditions, by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor,
of the destitute…we can, to a certain extent, change the world; we can work for
the oasis, the little cell of joy and peace in a harried world. We can throw our
pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around
the world. We repeat, there is nothing that we can do but love, and, dear God,
please enlarge our hearts to love each other, to love our neighbor, to love our
enemy as well as our friend."
-- Dorothy
Day
“What difference does
it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction
is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?”
-- Mohandas Gandhi |

"When we bear witness, when
we become the situation — homelessness, poverty, illness, violence, death — the
right action arises by itself. We don’t have to worry about what to do. We don't
have to figure out solutions ahead of time. Peacemaking is the functioning of
bearing witness. Once we listen with our entire body and mind, loving action arises.
-- Bernie Glassman |
