Love
Love is Patience. This is the normal attitude of Love—Love passive, Love waiting to begin; not in a hurry; calm; ready to do its work when the summons comes, but meantime wearing the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit.
It is better not to live than not to love.
For Love understands, and therefore waits.

To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love for ever is to live for ever.

Love begets love. It is a process of induction.
Love is greater than faith, because the end is greater than the means.
The soul is to be made sweet not by taking the acidulous fluids out, but by putting something in—a great love, God’s great love.
He was not indifferent to observances, but the practices of the people bulked in His thoughts before the practices of the Church.
