Dorothy Day
Charity is only as warm as those who administer it.
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
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
The saying of Vatican II is above all, 'Conscience is supreme.'
Dorothy Day
The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.

Once a priest told us that no one gets up in the pulpit without promulgating a heresy. He was joking, of course, but what I suppose he meant was the truth was so pure, so holy, that it was hard to emphasize one aspect of the truth without underestimating another, that we did not see things as a whole, but through a glass darkly, as St. Paul said.

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. When we begin to take the lowest places, to wash the feet of others, to love our brothers with that burning love, that passion which led to the cross, then we can truly say, 'Now I have begun'.
Dorothy Day

Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
Dorothy Day
I was always much impressed, in reading prison memoirs of revolutionists, such as Lenin and Trotsky ... by the amount of reading they did, the languages they studied, the range of their plans for a better social order. (Or rather, for a new social order.) In the Acts of the Apostles there are constant references to the Way and the New Man.
Dorothy Day
Do not give to the poor expecting to get their gratitude so that you can feel good about yourself. If you do, your giving will be thin and short-lived, and that is not what the poor need it will only improvish them further. Give only if you have something you must give give only if you are someone for whom giving is its own reward.
Dorothy Day
Certainly we disagree with the Communist Party, as we disagree with other political parties who are trying to maintain the American way of life.
