More quotes by Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
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
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
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
Communities are made up of the unlovable as well as the lovable.
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
As for ourselves, yes, we must be meek, bear injustice, malice, rash judgment. We must turn the other cheek, give up our cloak, go a second mile.
Dorothy Day
You see I'm such a fool that I'm never afraid of appearing foolish.
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
This is so rich a country that luxury has developed at the expense of necessities, and even the destitute partake of the luxury. We are the rich country of the world, like Dives at the feast. We must try hard, we must study to be poor like Lazarus at the gate, who was taken into Abraham's bosom.
Dorothy Day
What we would like to do is change the world...by crying out unceasingly for the rights of the workers, of the poor, of the destitute. We can throw our pebble in the pond and be confident that its ever widening circle will reach around the world.
Dorothy Day
I firmly believe that our salvation depends on the poor.
Dorothy Day
Love casts out fear, but we have to get over the fear in order to get close enough to love them.
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
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. 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
To me, birth control and abortion are genocide.I say, make room for children, don't do away with them.
Dorothy Day
The only solution is love.
Dorothy Day
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
Dorothy Day
