Jean Vanier said this quote

We can be seduced...by powerful political groups that promise more wealth and lower taxes. Those with power can use clever, psychological tricks and play upon our weaknesses and brokenness in order to attract us to their way of thinking. We can be manipulated into illusion.

~ Jean Vanier

[Happiness] comes when we choose to be who we are, to be ourselves, at this present moment in our lives.

~ Jean Vanier

Look at your own povertywelcome itcherish itdon't be afraidshare your deathbecause thus you will share your love and your life

~ Jean Vanier

The response to war is to live like brothers and sisters. The response to injustice is to share. The response to despair is a limitless trust and hope. The response to prejudice and hatred is forgiveness. To work for community is to work for humanity. To work for peace is to work for a true political solution, it is to work for the Kingdom of God. It is to work to enable every one to live and taste the secret joys of the human person united to the eternal.

~ Jean Vanier
