"The poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action,
	 but a demand that we go and build a different social order."

	 "I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least."

	 

	"Not everything that is faced can be changed,
	but nothing can be changed until it is faced."

	 “All truth passes through three stages.
	 First, it is ridiculed.
	 Second, it is violently opposed.
	 Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.”

	  "A church that doesn't provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn't unsettle,
	  a word of God that doesn't get under anyone's skin, a word of God that
	  doesn't touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed --
	  what gospel is that?"

	 "The church once changed society. It was then a thermostat of society. But today...
	 the church is merely a thermometer, which measures rather than molds popular opinion."

	 "The great tragedy in the church is not that rich Christians do not care about the poor
	 but that rich Christians do not know the poor."

	 	"The South Korea trip has brought several flashes of Francis’ commitment
		to the Social Gospel, meaning concern for the poor, promotion of peace,
		and so on. It’s such a pillar of his papacy that he has argued that the Social Gospel
		actually should be the heart of the Church’s missionary activity, the Catholic word
		for which is “evangelization.”

	 	"Being male is a matter of birth.  Being a man is a matter of age.
		Being a gentleman is a matter of choice."

	 “If only it were so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere
	 doing evil deeds, and all that the rest of us had to do was to remove
	 them from among us and to eliminate them. If only it were so simple!
	 But the line dividing good from evil runs through every human heart.
	 And who is willing to cut out part of his own heart?”

	  "The last of the human freedoms is the ability
	  to choose how one responds to any given situation.” 

	 "Today it is very fashionable to talk about the poor. Unfortunately,
	 it is very unfashionable to talk with them."- 

	 “Overcoming poverty is not a task of charity, it is an act of justice.
	 Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and
	 it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.
	 Sometimes it falls on a generation to be great. YOU can be that great
	 generation. Let your greatness blossom.”

	“In fact, corporations are the infants of our society—
	they know very little except how to grow (though they're
	very good at that), and they howl when you set limits.
	Socializing them is the work of politics. It's about time
	we took it up again.” - 

	 "You don't get to choose how you're going to die. Or when.

	 and a readiness for a fresh start. Future is not just something or other to do with
	 Christianity. It is the essential element of the faith which is specifically Christian."

	 the Cambodian government has systematically allowed law enforcement, military personnel, and
	 high-ranking government officials total impunity for the past two decades while its citizens are
	 beaten, shot dead, wounded, arrested and sent to prison for only trying to raise critical social
	 and humans rights issues to the public."

	 "One forgives to the degree that one loves."

	 “No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background,
	 or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught
	 to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.”
