More quotes by Dorothy Day
If you have two coats, one of them belongs to the poor.
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
The work is more important than the talking and the writing about the work.
Dorothy Day
Just as the birds of the air are fed, we'll continue to be fed.
Dorothy Day
The idea that when the health of one member suffers, the health of the whole body is lowered is a teaching of St Paul which is timeless.
Dorothy Day
The saying of Vatican II is above all, 'Conscience is supreme.'
Dorothy Day
What I read in the Bible seemed to me to be very much a part of daily life.
Dorothy Day
Every Marxist group that I've known has its theoreticians.
Dorothy Day
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.
Dorothy Day
It is best to disregard their talk and judge only their actions.
Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
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
It is not easy always to be joyful, to keep in mind the duty of delight.
Dorothy Day
With prayer, one can go on cheerfully and even happily. Without prayer, how grim a journey!
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
I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.
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
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
One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.
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
