More quotes by 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
Paperwork, cleaning the house, dealing with the innumerable visitors who come all through the day, answering the phone, keeping patience and acting intelligently, which is to find some meaning in all that happens-these things, too, are the works of peace, and often seem like a very little way.
Dorothy Day
Women think with their whole bodies
Dorothy Day
Love and ever more love is the only solution to every problem that comes up.
Dorothy Day
You see I'm such a fool that I'm never afraid of appearing foolish.
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
If we love each other enough, we will bear with each other’s faults and burdens.
Dorothy Day
The theoretician of the Marxist revolution in Cuba certainly wasn't Castro. It was Don Carlos Rafaelo Rodriguez. He was the theoretician and very often people say he will take over. But I don't believe it. I think that it's a very good combination - the Catholic man working together with a man like that who has everything pretty well planned.
Dorothy Day
Our problems stem from our acceptance of this filthy, rotten system.
Dorothy Day
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
Dorothy Day
We need to change the system. We need to overthrow, not the government, as the authorities are always accusing the Communists 'of conspiring to teach [us] to do,' but this rotten, decadent, putrid industrial capitalist system which breeds such suffering in the whited sepulcher of New York.
Dorothy Day
I think one of the things we must constantly keep in mind is, 'If anybody hits you on one cheek, turn the other.'
Dorothy Day
Some can go further than others.
Dorothy Day
No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There's too much work to do.
Dorothy Day
To me, birth control and abortion are genocide.I say, make room for children, don't do away with 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
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
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
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
Dorothy Day
When it comes down to it, even on the natural plane, it is much happier and more enlivening to love than to be loved.
Dorothy Day
