“Once we were happy in our own country and we were seldom hungry, for then the two-leggeds and the four-leggeds lived together like relatives, and there was plenty for them and for us. But the Wasichus came, and they have made little islands for us and other little islands for the four-leggeds, and always these islands are becoming smaller, for around them surges the gnawing flood of the Wasichu; and it is dirty with lies and greed.” LittlesMadeTwoCountryTogetherLyingAnimalFourBecomingCreaturesGreedHungryPlentyDirtyIslandsFlood Author:Black Elk
“If the nobles of the country really have the welfare of the people at heart, they should prevent and forbid music wherever it makes an appearance. For the fact that the people practise music has four disadvantages. The hungry are not fed, the cold are not clothed, the homeless are not sheltered and the desperate find no consolation.” PeopleIfsShouldHeartCountryFactsFourColdAppearanceHungryWelfareDesperateFedsHomelessConsolationDisadvantagesPractise Author:John Tilbury
“Those who grieve frequently find themselves alone. Missed is the laughter of children, the commotion of teenagers, and the tender, loving concern of a departed companion. The clock ticks more loudly, time passes more slowly, and four walls can indeed a prison make. I extol those who, with loving care and compassionate concern, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and house the homeless. He who notes the sparrow's fall will not be unmindful of such service.” ChildrenCareFallHouseFourWallLaughterConcernPrisonNotesHungryNakedTeenagerClockGrievingCompanionCompassionateHomelessTickTime PassesDepartedSparrowsFour Walls Author:Thomas S.

“Prayer is nothing but that complete surrender, complete oneness with Christ. And this is what makes us contemplative in the heart of the world; for we are twenty-four hours then in His presence: in the hungry, in the naked, in the homeless, in the unwanted, unloved, uncared for. For Jesus said, Whatever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to me.” WorldHeartSaidJesusChristHoursPrayerFourTwentiesSurrenderHungryNakedOnenessHomelessBrethrenUnwantedContemplativeUnloved Book:Mother Teresa: Essential Writings Source: Mother Teresa: Essential Writings
