God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.

Mercy is what moves us toward God, while justice makes us tremble in his sight.

God is truly on the side of those who work for social justice, especially when we accompany that work with the giving of the Gospel!

The essence of justice is mercy.

What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice.

We must face the fact that the preservation of individual freedom is incompatible with a full satisfaction of our views of distributive justice.

Justice is never given; it is exacted and the struggle must be continuous for freedom is never a final fact, but a continuing evolving process to higher and higher levels of human, social, economic, political and religious relationship.

Freedom prospers when religion is vibrant and the rule of law under God is acknowledged.

What shall befall me in the pursuance of this work, I refer to the disposal of Almighty God, whose glory is dearer to me, not only than my liberty, but than my life.
