Love is needed to strengthen the weak; love becomes tyrannical when it exacts obedience from an unbeliever.
The law of love knows no bounds of space or time.
Love is the basis of our friendship as it is of religion.
Love is no love which asks for a return.
Love can never express itself by imposing sufferings on others. It can only express itself by self-suffering, by self-purification.
Love based upon indulgence of animal passion, is at best a selfish affair, and likely to snap under the slightest strain.
Love and exclusive possession can never go together.
Every reform means awakening. Once truly awakened, the nation will not be satisfied with reform only in one department of life.
Individual liberty and interdependence are both essential for life in society.
Dignity of human nature requires that we must face the storms of life.
Let us give today first the vital things of life and all the grace and ornaments of life will follow.
This earthly existence of ours is more brittle that the glass bangles that ladies wear.
Every calamity should lead to a thorough cleansing of individual as well as social life.
The whole existence of man is a ceaseless duel between the forces of life and death.
