Solitude and silence teach me to love my brothers for what they are, not for what they say.

 

"It is in deep solitude that I find the gentleness with which I can truly love my brothers. The more solitary I am, the more affection I have for them . . . Solitude and silence teach me to love my brothers for what they are, not for what they say."

Thomas Merton
