Evil men sprout like weeds in the sun, like weeds that spread all through the garden. Their roots wrap round the stones and hold fast to every rock.
Quotations
Jesus Christ
He who is too sure in time of peace, will often show himself to be downcast or fearful in time of war.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
Love feels no burden, values no labours, would like to do more than it can do, without excusing itself with impossibility, because it believes that it may and can do all things.
First keep yourself in peace and then you will be able to bring others to peace. The peaceable man does more good than one who is very learned.
