More quotes by Dorothy Day
I believe that we must reach our brother, never toning down our fundamental oppositions, but meeting him when he asks to be met, with a reason for the faith that is in us, as well as with a loving sympathy for them as brothers.
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
People, wherever they are, can make a community.
Dorothy Day
When you love people, you see all the good in them, all the Christ in them. God sees Christ, His Son, in us and loves us. And so we should see Christ in others, and nothing else, and love them. There can never be enough of it. There can never be enough thinking about it.
Dorothy Day
The only answer in this life, to the loneliness we are all bound to feel, is community.
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.

I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.
Dorothy Day
Your love for God is only as great as the love you have for the person you love the least.
Dorothy Day
No matter how corrupt the Church may become, it carries within it the seeds of its own regeneration.
Dorothy Day

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
The only solution is love.
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
When they call you a saint, it means basically that you are not to be taken seriously.
Dorothy Day
There's enough hate in the world. I command you to love. And you have to make an effort.
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
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
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
One of the disconcerting facts about the spiritual life is that God takes you at your word.
Dorothy Day
The work is more important than the talking and the writing about the work.
