The love of power, like the love of money, increases with the possession of it; and we know in what ruin these baneful passions have involved human societies in all ages when they have been let loose and suffered to rage uncontrolled – There is no restraint like the pervading eye of the virtuous citizens.
Love
I love argument, I love debate. I don’t expect anyone just to sit there and agree with me, that’s not their job.
Love is the hardest lesson in Christianity; but, for that reason, it should be most our care to learn it.
I love Wagner, but the music I prefer is that of a cat hung up by its tail outside a window and trying to stick to the panes of glass with its claws.
To love with the spirit is to pity, and he who pities most loves most.
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
Some men love truth so much that they seem to be in continual fear lest she should catch a cold on overexposure.
Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live; Not where I love, but where I am, I die.
This is the hardest of all: to close the open hand out of love, and keep modest as a giver.
Love one another and help others to rise to the higher levels, simply by pouring out love. Love is infectious and the greatest healing energy.
