“My faith is a wounded faith, but it’s not without faith. My life is not without faith.”

In the face of suffering, one has no right to turn away, not to see.

To remain silent and indifferent is the greatest sin of all.

Better that one heart be broken a thousand times in the retelling, he has decided, if it means that a thousand other hearts need not be broken at all.

Eternity is the place where questions and answers become one.

Life is not a fist. Life is an open hand waiting for some other hand to enter it.

Think higher, feel deeper.

One person of integrity can make a difference.

Education in the key to preventing the cycle of violence and hatred that marred the 20th century from repeating itself in the 21st century.

Anything you want to say about God you better make sure you can say in front of a pit of burning babies.

I was there when God was put on trial. At the end of the trial, they used the word chayav, rather than ‘guilty’. It means ‘He owes us something’. Then we went to pray.

Human beings all change. Not what they are but who they are. We have the power to change what we do with our life and turn it into our destiny.

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation.

I came to the conclusion that I am free to choose my own suffering. But I am not free to consent to someone else’s suffering.

I don’t want my past to become anyone else’s future.

We believed in God, trusted in man, and lived with the illusion that every one of us has been entrusted with a sacred spark.

Be careful with words, they’re dangerous. Be wary of them. They begat either demons or angels. It’s up to you to give life to one or the other. Be careful, I tell you, nothing is as dangerous as giving free rein to words

When in doubt, I choose love above any particular ideas offered to me about faith.

Faith sees the invisible, believes the unbelievable, and receives the impossible.

We should live out our particular brand of faith, sure – but we should never force our brand of faith upon anyone else. All violence starts with the desire to change others and then never, ever ends.

Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.

I’m not big on faith rules, but if I had to choose one, it would be that every person must choose a faith issue upon which to hang her hat that requires her to change – not somebody else.

No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge the ways of God.

I don’t know how, but I know Who.

Although the threads of my life have often seemed knotted, I know, by faith, that on the other side of the embroidery there is a crown.
