“From the poetry of Lord Byron they drew a system of ethics compounded of misanthropy and voluptuousness,-a system in which the two great commandments were to hate your neighbour and to love your neighbour's wife.” LoveTwoHateLordWifeLove YouEthicsCommandmentsHate YouNeighbourMisanthropyByron Author:Thomas B.

“The love of God is not taught. No one has taught us to enjoy the light or to be attached to life more than anything else. And no one has taught us to love the two people who brought us into the world and educated us. Which is all the more reason to believe that we did not learn to love God as a result of outside instruction. In the very nature of every human being has been sown the seed of the ability to love. You and I ought to welcome this seed, cultivate it carefully, nourish it attentively and foster its growth by going to the school of God's commandments with help of His grace.” PeopleWorldLoveBelieveHumansHas BeensTwoReasonHelpingLightTruthSchoolEnjoyGrowthHuman BeingsAbilityResultsGraceLove YouTaughtOughtSeedsWelcomeEducatedGod LoveInstructionCommandmentsTaught UsAbility To Love Author:Saint Basil
“So deep and meaningful is the joy and the enthusiasm that is born in one's mind and heart by human love and helpfulness that it has the power to motivate for a lifetime. . . . You don't have to be a doctor to say or do that which puts light in a human eye or joy on a human face. Simply practice Jesus' commandment that we love one another. Go out and do something for somebody. These are the things that make happy people. Here is the one never-failing source of the joy and enthusiasm we are talking about.” PeopleLoveMindHumansHeartLightEyeFacesJoyJesusBornTalkingPracticeFailingSourceDoctorsLifetimeMeaningfulEnthusiasmCommandmentsHeart And MindLove One AnotherHappy PeopleHuman LoveHuman FacesHelpfulnessHuman EyesMake HappyDeep And Meaningful Author:Norman Vincent Peale
“I do not believe in a God who would set up rules and commandments only to wait for us to fail so He could punish us. I believe in a Heavenly Father who is loving and caring and who rejoices in our every effort to stand tall and walk toward Him. Even when we stumble, He urges us not to be discouraged-never to give up or flee our allotted field of service-but to take courage, find our faith, and keep trying.” LoveGivingTryingBelieveGodCareChristianFaithFatherBeliefI BelieveWaitingReligiousWalksEffortChristianityCourageFailingFieldsFailureGiving UpI Believe InCaringPunishmentGod LoveHeavenlyUrgesTallRejoiceCommandmentsNot Giving UpNever Giving UpDiscouragedKeep TryingHeavenly FatherStumblingFleeing Author:Dieter F.

“Thou shalt not, it is said, make unto thee any graven image of God. The same commandment should apply when God is taken to mean the living part of every human being, the part that cannot be grasped. It is a sin that, however much it is committed against us, we almost continually commit ourselves--Except when we love.” LoveShouldHumansMeanSaidGodHuman BeingsSinTakenCommittedCommitTheeGod LoveCommandmentsGod Image Book:Max Frisch: Novels, Plays and Essays Source: Max Frisch: Novels, Plays and Essays
“Love is the greatest thing that God can give us; for Himself is love: and it is the greatest thing we can give to God; for it will also give ourselves, and carry with it all that is ours. The apostle calls it the band of perfection; it is the old, and it is the new, and it is the great commandment, and it is all the commandments; for it is the fulfilling of the Law.” LoveGivingLawLove IsBandPerfectionCommandmentsFulfillingApostles Book:The Whole Works of the Right Rev.
