A man who loves others based solely on how they make him feel, or what they do for him, is really not loving others at all - but loving only himself.

Love does not dwell on how much one receives in return. If there is ever any balance in love, it is in a contest of who can love who more.

Self-righteousness is much like a spiritual egocentricity. It constitutes a secular type of love that thrives under conditionality, one in which is only existent after an individual meets the adopted standards of the condemner; oppositely, unconditional love is a holy love.

One is not necessarily made self-centered because he is foolish, but one is very often made foolish because he is self-centered.

We are to love God most importantly so that we can grow to love people as he loved us, not so that we can feel more divine and worthy than the worldly.

Love is selfish yet a selfless feeling.
