More quotes by Dorothy Day
To me, birth control and abortion are genocide.I say, make room for children, don't do away with them.
Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
As a child, I came across the Bible, but nobody in my family had anything to do with religion. I just felt a profound truth there that appealed to me.
Dorothy Day
I think that just as we're in the nuclear era we're also in an era of non-violence. It's undefeatable.
Dorothy Day
There is plenty to do, for each one of us, working on our own hearts, changing our own attitudes, in our own neighborhoods.
Dorothy Day
I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
Dorothy Day
When it comes to labor and politics, I am inclined to be sympathetic to the left, but when it comes to the Catholic Church, then I am far to the right.
Dorothy Day
Marx.... Lenin.... Mao Tse-Tung.... These men were animated by the love of brother and this we must believe though their ends meant the seizure of power, and the building of mighty armies, the compulsion of concentration camps, the forced labor and torture and killing of tens of thousands, even millions.
Dorothy Day
How much did I hear of religion as a child? Very little, and yet my heart leaped when I heard the name of God. I do believe every soul has a tendency toward God.
Dorothy Day
It is easier to have faith that God will support each House of Hospitality and Farming Commune and supply our needs in the way of food and money to pay bills, than it is to keep a strong, hearty, living faith in each individual around us - to see Christ in him.
Dorothy Day
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
You will know your vocation by the joy that it brings you. You will know. You will know when it's right.
Dorothy Day
Think what the world could look like if we took care of the poor even half as well as we do our Bibles!
Dorothy Day
We must recognize the fact that many Nazis, Marxists and Fascists believe passionately in their fundamental rightness, and allow nothing to hinder them from their goal in the pursuit of their mission.
Dorothy Day
We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.
Dorothy Day
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
When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.
Dorothy Day
We want no revolution we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. And now - strange thought - the devil has so maneuvered that the people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.
Dorothy Day
The greatest challenge of the day is: how to bring about a revolution of the heart, a revolution which has to start with each one of us?
Dorothy Day
What else do we all want, each one of us, except to love and be loved, in our families, in our work, in all our relationships?
Dorothy Day
