“A Jesuit once wrote a note to Father Arrupe, his superior general, asking him about the relative value of communism, socialism and capitalism. Father Arrupe gave him a lovely reply. He said, "A system is about as good or as bad as the people who use it." People with golden hearts would make capitalism or communism or socialism work beautifully.” PeopleHeartSaidUseValuesFatherCapitalismAskingNotesLovelySocialismSuperiorsGoldenCommunismRelativeJesuitRelative Value Book:Awareness: Conversations with the Masters Source: Awareness: Conversations with the Masters
“When Jesus looked down from the cross, he didn't think “I am giving myself to you because you are so attractive to me.” No, he was in agony, and he looked down at us - denying him, abandoning him, and betraying him - and in the greatest act of love in history, he STAYED. He said, “Father, forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.” He loved us, not because we were lovely to him, but to make us lovely.” ThinkingKnowsGivingSaidFatherJesusCrossesForgivingLovelyAttractiveBetrayAgonyActs Of Love Author:Timothy Keller
“A woman is never so happy as when she is being wooed. Then she is mistress of all she surveys, the cynosure of all eyes, until that day of days when she sails down the aisle, a vision in white, lovely as the stefanotis she carries, borne translucent on her father's manly arm to be handed over to her new father-surrogate. If she is clever, and if her husband has the time and the resources, she will insist on being wooed all her life; more likely she will discover that marriage is not romantic, that husbands forget birthdays and aniversaries and seldom pay compliments, are often perfunctory.” IfsEyeFatherWhiteForgetPayMarriageVisionArmsHusbandResourcesDatingLovelyCleverCarrieComplimentSailMistressSurveysManlyAisleSurrogatesNew Father Author:Germaine Greer
