Peter Maurin, born on this day in 1877, was a French Catholic social activist, theologian, and De La Salle Brother who founded the anarchist Catholic Worker Movement in 1933 with Dorothy Day.

Aside from his writings in the publication "Catholic Worker", Maurin expressed his philosophy through short pieces of verse that became known as his "Easy Essays".

"The scholars must become workers so the workers may be scholars."

- Peter Maurin
