Quotes from Thomas Merton: Essential Writings (Modern Spiritual Masters Series)

For power can guarantee the interests of some men but it can never foster the good of man.  Power always protects the good of some at the expense of all the others.  Only love can attain and preserve the good of all.  Any claim to build the security of all on force is a manifest imposture.

If there is no silence beyond and within the many words of doctrine, there is no religion, only a religious ideology.  For religion goes beyond words and actions, and attains to the ultimate Truth only in silence and Love.
