Text Quotes
Freedom has its roots in religion  (Dorothy Day Quotes) You can’t write about things without doing them. You just have to live that same way.  (Dorothy Day Quotes) The idea that when the health of one member suffers, the health of the whole body is lowered is a teaching of St Paul which is timeless.  (Dorothy Day Quotes) To me, birth control and abortion are genocide.I say, make room for children, don’t do away with them.  (Dorothy Day Quotes) We certainly can try to grow in love, and it is good practice, this giving what we’ve got, whether it is a cup of coffee or money to pay the grocery bill.  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Don’t worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth.  (Dorothy Day Quotes) I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Don’t call me a saint. I don’t want to be dismissed so easily  (Dorothy Day Quotes) You see I’m such a fool that I’m never afraid of appearing foolish  (Dorothy Day Quotes) An act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself of some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Too much praise makes you feel you must be doing something terribly wrong  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Don’t worry about being effective. Just concentrate on being faithful to the truth  (Dorothy Day Quotes) The best thing to do with the best things in life is to give them up  (Dorothy Day Quotes) The legal battle against segregation is won, but the community battle goes on  (Dorothy Day Quotes) People say, what is the sense of our small effort? They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time. A pebble cast into a pond causes ripples that spread in all directions. Each one of our thoughts, words and deeds is like that. No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Common sense in religion is rare, and we are too often trying to be heroic instead of just ordinarily good and kind  (Dorothy Day Quotes) No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do  (Dorothy Day Quotes) If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens  (Dorothy Day Quotes) The biggest mistake sometimes is to play things very safe in this life and end up being moral failures  (Dorothy Day Quotes) In fact, to this very day, common sense in religion is rare, and we are too often trying to be heroic instead of just ordinarily good and kind  (Dorothy Day Quotes) How necessary it is to cultivate a spirit of joy. It is a psychological truth that the physical acts of reverence and devotion make one feel devout. The courteous gesture increases one’s respect for others. To act lovingly is to begin to feel loving, and certainly to act joyfully brings joy to others which in turn makes one feel joyful. I believe we are called to the duty of delight  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Where are the heroes and the saints, who keep a clear vision of man’s greatest gift, his freedom, to oppose not only the dictatorship of the proletariat, but also the dictatorship of the benevolent state, which takes possession of the family, and of the indigent, and claims our young for war?  (Dorothy Day Quotes) We have all known the long loneliness and we have learned that the only solution is love and that love comes with community  (Dorothy Day Quotes) The absolutist begins a work, others take it up and try to spread it. Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system  (Dorothy Day Quotes) Turn off your radio. Put away your daily paper. Read one review of events a week and spend some time reading good books. They tell too of days of striving and of strife. They are of other centuries and also of our own. They make us realize that all times are perilous, that men live in a dangerous world, in peril constantly of losing or maiming soul and body. We get some sense of perspective reading such books. Renewed courage and faith and even joy to live  (Dorothy Day Quotes) 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  (Dorothy Day Quotes) It is we ourselves that we have to think about, no one else. That is the way the saints worked. They paid attention to what they were doing, and if others were attracted to them by their enterprise, why, well and good. But they looked to themselves first of all  (Dorothy Day Quotes) An individual can march for peace or vote for peace and can have, perhaps, some small influence on global concerns. But the same individual is a giant in the eyes of a child at home. If peace is to be built, it must start with the individual. It is built brick by brick  (Dorothy Day Quotes) As we come to know the seriousness of the situation, the war, the racism, the poverty in our world, we come to realize that things will not be changed simply by words or demonstrations. Rather, it’s a question of living one’s life in a drastically different way  (Dorothy Day Quotes)
