More quotes by 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
We should live in such a way that our lives wouldn't make much sense if the gospel were not true.
Dorothy Day
God forbid we should have great institutions. The thing is to have many small centres. The ideal is community.
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
We believe in loving our brothers regardless of race, color or creed and we believe in showing this love by working for better conditions immediately and the ultimate owning by the workers of their means of production.
Dorothy Day
Life itself is a haphazard, untidy, messy affair.
Dorothy Day
Castro wasn't a Marxist. He was a Catholic educated by the Christian Brothers and the Jesuits. But fundamentally, I'm not talking about practising Catholics, but rather about something which is inbred that is, a part of your country, your heritage, your life.
Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
Dorothy Day
It wasn't until Castro marched triumphantly into Cuba that you might say the whole thing grew into a Marxist revolution.
Dorothy Day
If I have achieved anything in my life, it is because I have not been embarrassed to talk about God.
Dorothy Day
I cannot worry much about your sins and miseries when I have so many of my own. I can only love you all, poor fellow travellers, fellow sufferers. I do not want to add one least straw to the burden you already carry.
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
Some have more capacity. Some proceed a few steps along the way. But Christ seemed to love all men. He desired all to be saved.
Dorothy Day
Thank God that He has permitted us to live among the present problems. It is no longer permitted to anyone to be mediocre.
Dorothy Day
The Gospel takes away our right forever, to discriminate between the deserving and the undeserving poor.
Dorothy Day
The saying of Vatican II is above all, 'Conscience is supreme.'
Dorothy Day
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
Dorothy Day
Idealism in the young, I guess I'm saying, is curiosity as well as goodness trying to express itself.
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
