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.

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 may be harder to find in some people, but when they do love you know it must be something marvelous.

To love without need or without expectation of restitution, that is how we ought to love.

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.

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.
