And in giving of yourself you will discover a whole new life full of meaning and love.

• Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule.

• Whenever Beauty looks,
  Love is also there;
  Whenever beauty shows a rosy cheek
  Love lights Her fire from that flame.
  When beauty dwells in the dark folds of night
  Love comes and finds a heart
  entangled in tresses.
  Beauty and Love are as body and soul.
  Beauty is the mine, Love is the diamond.

• Thought cannot avoid the ethical or reverence and love for all life. It will abandon the old confined systems of ethics and be forced to recognize the ethics that knows no bounds. But on the other hand, those who believe in love for all creation must realize clearly the difficulties involved in the problem of a boundless ethic and must be resolved not to veil from humankind the conflicts which this ethic will involve us, but allow us really to experience them. To think out in every implication the ethic of love for all creation this is the difficult task which confronts our age.
