Quotes from Giovanni Guareschi

When you share your last crust of bread with a beggar, you mustn't behave as if you were throwing a bone to a dog. You must give humbly, and thank him for allowing you to have a part in his hunger.

It is right to hate sin, but not to hate the sinner.

Lord, my hands were made for blessing, but not my feet!

You go to church to respect God, not the priest. By not going to church, you disrespect God, not the priest. - Don Camillo
