No Room
Into this world, this demented inn, in which there is absolutely no room for him at all, Christ has come uninvited. But because he cannot be at home in it, because he is out of place in it, and yet he must be in it, his place is with those others who do not belong, who are rejected by power, because they are regarded as weak, those who are discredited, who are denied the status of persons, tortured, exterminated. With those for whom there is no room, Christ is present in this world.
-Thomas Merton

As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of
corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country
will endeavor to prolong its reign... until all wealth is aggregated in a few
hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the
safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war.
-Abraham Lincoln

"On this journey the traveler abideth in every land and dwelleth in every
region. In every face, he seeketh the beauty of the Friend; in every country
he looketh for the Beloved. He joineth every company, and seeketh fellowship
with every soul, that haply in some mind he may uncover the secret of the
Friend, or in some face he may behold the beauty of the Loved One."
(Bahá'u'lláh, The Seven Valleys, p. 6, 7)

" Time is the stream is go fishing in. I drink at it; but while I drink I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains. I would drink deeper; fish in the sky, whose bottom is pebbly with stars. I cannot count one. I know not the first letter of the alphabet. I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born. The intellect is a cleaver; it discerns and rifts its way into the secret of things...."

Henri Thoreau "Where I Lived, What I lived for..."
