“When [men] see a pretty woman, and feel the delicious madness of love coming over them, they always stop to calculate her temper, her money, their own money, or suitableness for the married life.... Ha, ha, ha! Let us fool in this way no more. I have been in love forty-three times with all ranks and conditions of women, and would have married every time if they would have let me. How many wives had King Solomon, the wisest of men? And is not that story a warning to us that Love is master of the wisest? It is only fools who defy him.” IfsMenWayLoveFeelsHas BeensStoriesThreeLove IsWifeConditionsMastersFoolKingsMarriedLet MeMadnessFortyWarningTemperDeliciousThree TimesWisestMarried LifeBeen In LoveSolomonPretty Woman Author:William Makepeace Thackeray
“In that process of coming to know that which we name as divine, the God who is love is slowly transformed into the love that is God. Let me repeat that...We breathe love in, and we breathe love out. It is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent. It is never exhausted, always expanding. When I try to describe this reality, words fail me; so I simply utter the name God. That name, however, is no longer for me the name of a being.” KnowsLoveTryingRealityNamesProcessLove IsFailingDivineLet MeBreatheRepeatsTransformedExhaustedExpandingOmnipotentOmniscient Author:John Shelby Spong

“All the fruits of the Spirit which we are to lay weight upon as evidential of grace, are summed up in charity, or Christian love; because this is the sum of all grace. And the only way, therefore, in which any can know their good estate, is by discerning the exercises of this divine charity in their hearts; for without charity, let men have what gifts you please, they are nothing.” KnowsMenWayHeartChristianSpiritLove IsGraceDivineExercisePleaseWeightLet MeLaysCharityFruitEstatesChristian LoveDiscerningFruits Of The Spirit Book:Christian Love and It's Fruit Source: Christian Love and It's Fruit
“Let me thus praise You in the way You love best: by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words, but by my example, by the catching force, the sympathetic influence of what I do, the evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.
