  47 Copy quote

• While love takes on itself impossible tasks, yet it finds that love lightens all loads. It is the same burden that wings are to a bird, that sails are to a ship.

The task may be the same, but love makes everything light, and duty makes everything drudgery.

But in faith and confidence I breath freely - these are my native air.
