When dignity is all you have, if you are poor, if you are of low estate, and dignity is all you have,then loss of dignity is everything.
Any choice we make that robs someone of their dignity isn't the right choice. Any choice that makes a person feel less than human, that leads to the diminishment of another person, is the wrong choice.
"Mark the passages that go deep into my heart, that move me deeply, that make sense, that express something which is already within my experience."
William Stafford
"A writer is not so much someone who has something to say as she is someone who has found a process that will bring about new things she would not have thought of if she had not started to say them."
John O'Donohue
"In modern times landscape is seen as property...real estate. The ancestors saw it as Divine Presence."
Thomas Merton
"It is true, political problems are not solved by love and mercy, but the world of politics is not the only world, and unless political decisions rest on a foundation of something better and higher than politics, they can never do any good for humanity."
Rachel Linner
"What we say about Jesus determines how we act, and the litany of our actions eventually becomes what we say about ourselves."
