Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

Our maturity will be judged by how well we are able to agree to disagree and yet continue to love one another, to care for one another, and cherish one another and seek the greater good of the other.

To know each other is the best way to understand each other. To understand each other is the only way to love each other.

If we cannot think alike, at least we may love alike; and can anything but love beget love?

The love in me salutes the love in you.

When one looks truly at the good side of everyone, others come to love him very naturally, and he does not need even a speck of flattery.

...what I can do is offer myself, wholehearted and present, to walk with the people I love through the fear and the mess. That's all any of us can do. That's what we're here for.

Where there is unconditional love, the wound of one is the wound of all.

To love to preach is one thing; to love to whom you preach is quite another.

He now began to think of the church as called by God to "stand with those who suffer".

Forgive me for these rather personal ramblings, but they just came to me as I thought about our time together recently. And after all, we do have an interest in each other. I still have a hard time thinking that you really find all these ideas of mine completely mad. Things do exist that are worth standing up for without compromise. To me it seems that peace and social justice are such things, as is Christ himself.
