“Love suffers long and is kind;
love does not envy;
love does not parade itself,
is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely,
does not seek its own,
is not provoked,
thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity,
but rejoices in the truth;  
bears all things,
believes all things,
hopes all things,
endures all things.” ~ St. Paul

“Love grants prophecy, miracles. It is an abyss of illumination, a fountain of fire that leaps up to inflame the thirsty soul. It is the condition of angels, and the progress of eternity.” ~ St. Paul

“Love is God. It must be that whoever loves God loves his brother.” ~ Augustine

“Do you wish to be free?
Then above all things, love God,
love your neighbor, love one another,
love the common weal;
then you will have true liberty.” ~ Giralomo Savanarola

“If anyone says, ‘I love God,’ and hates his brother, he is a liar. For he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.” ~ Gospel of John

“And we are put on earth a little space,
That we may learn to bear the beams of love.” ~ William Blake

“Where Mercy, Love, and Pity dwell,
There God is dwelling too.” ~ William Blake

“There is no remedy for love but to love more.” – Henry David Thoreau

“We find rest in those we love, and we provide a resting place in ourselves for those who love us.” ~ Bernard of Clairvaux
