It is only the love of God shed abroad by the Holy Spirit that can cause effective repentance and cleansing—not simply Christian work or service, but the shining sweetness and fragrance of the love of Jesus Christ. It is this which touches a life that is out of adjustment to the will of God.

Never self-possessed, or prudent, love is all abandonment.

All that man has to say or do that can possibly concern mankind is in some shape or other to tell the story of his love-to sing, and, if he is fortunate and keeps alive, he will be forever in love.

God sacrifices himself for man and puts himself where only man deserves to be.

We can give without loving, but we can't love without giving. In fact, love is nothing unless we give it to someone.

Love is our highest word and the synonym of God.

Love took up the harp of Life, and smote on all the chords with might; Smote the chord of Self, that, trembling, passed in music out of sight.

The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.

Learning to love unselfishly is not an easy task. It runs counter to our self-centered nature.

What is done in love is done well.

I am in love and out of it I will not go.

Love always involves responsibility, and love always involves sacrifice. And we do not really love Christ unless we are prepared to face His task and to take up His Cross.
