People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

Love is the only way to rescue humanity from all ills.

From this arises the question whether it is better to be loved rather than feared, or feared rather than loved. It might perhaps be answered that we should wish to be both: but since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.

Listen with ears of tolerance, see through the eyes of compassion, speak with language of love.

I am a true laborer: I earn that I eat, get that I wear, owe no man hate, envy no man’s happiness, glad of other men’s good, content with my harm.

You cannot save people. You can only love them.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight for the ends of being and ideal grace.

Work is love made visible.

I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.

The only abnormality is the incapacity to love.

I have to face life with a newly found passion. I must rediscover the irresistible will to learn, to live and to love.

Think lovingly, speak lovingly, act lovingly, and every need shall be supplied.

Compassion will cure more sins than condemnation.

Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself.

Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
