The Love of the LORD

“To be capable of steady friendship or lasting love, is the greatest proof, not of the goodness of man, but of the existence of God.” —William Hazlitt

“Has there ever been a subject that has elicited more advice than the subject of love? And is there any wonder why? Matters of the heart have occupied talent and ingenuity of every human discipline and occupation. Here soldiers and statesmen wax as eloquent as poets and musicians. Here the muse enlivens even the coarsest and crustiest of souls.”
—Tristan Gylberd

“Love is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.” —C.S. Lewis

“Love doubles our joy and halves our grief.” —Dolley Madison
