“Love, who is most beautiful among the immortal gods, the melter of limbs, overwhelms in their hearts the intelligence and wise counsel of all gods and all men.”

“The deathless gods are near among men and mark all those who oppress their fellows with crooked judgements, and reck not the anger of the gods.”

“I pray you all for God’s sake, and counsel you for your own profit, that ye leave the beholding of a poor creature that it was shewed to, and mightily, wisely, and meekly behold God that of His courteous love and endless goodness would shew it generally, in comfort of us all. For it is God’s will that ye take it with great joy and pleasance, as if Jesus had shewed it to you all.”

“Behold the sons of men.
who sin.
whose hearts are divine!
In selfishness they heap misery on one another;
yet for love they die. (…)
Scatter gold among them, and they are beasts;

show them God, and they are sons of God”

“All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful:
The Lord God made them all.”

“He who is worthy of God is also a god among men.”

“If God is all loving, then we must treat the heart as the throne of God.”

“In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.”

“God gave all men all earth to love,
But since our hearts are small,
Ordained for each one spot should prove
Belovèd over all.”

“I say more, the just man justices;
Keeps grace: that keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Christ — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.”
