Who can give law to lovers? Love is a greater law to itself.

Any old woman can love God better than a doctor of theology can.

There are no galley slaves in the royal vessel of divine love-every man works his oar voluntarily.

Love, you know, seeks to make happy rather than to be happy.

Gold does not satisfy love; it must be paid in its own coin.

The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife.

Love is the only sane and satisfactory answer to the problem of human existence.

I believe that the sum total of the energy of mankind is not to bring us down but to lift us up, and that is the result of the definite, if unconscious, working of the law of love. The fact that mankind persists shows that the cohesive force is greater than the disruptive force, centripetal force greater than centrifugal.

To see the universal and all-pervading Spirit of Truth face to face one must be able to love the meanest of creation as oneself.

... we have to learn to use that force (love) among all that lives, and in the use of it consists our knowledge of God. Where there is love there is life; hatred leads to destruction.
