More From Thomas Merton
- "Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward."
- "Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience."
- "We are not at peace with others because we are not at peace with ourselves, and we are not at peace with ourselves because we are not at peace with God."
