“Legitimized love always despises its easygoing brother.”

“There are different cultures, different ways of thinking, different ways of living the faith and of evangelizing, but we wish to love each other as brothers and sisters, respecting our legitimate differences, and valuing each other as gifts for the Church.”

“There are some men who expose themselves to damnation so foolishly by avarice, by brutality, by debauches, by violence, by excesses, by blasphemies! …it is always a great folly for a man to expose himself to damnation… He must despise desire and its kingdom, and aspire to that kingdom of love in which all the subjects breathe nothing but love, and desire nothing but the benefits of love.”

“A brother may not be a friend, but a friend will always be a brother.”

“The will must not only despise death, it must love it; for chastity is the love of death.”

“Non-resistance in the sense of rejecting all forms of coercion is not always a legitimate expression of love toward man and love toward God. …the refusal under some circumstances to exercise forcible restraint is a betrayal of love and therefore a betrayal of higher religion.”

“It's Love, Brother Love, say
Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show.
Pack up the babies and grab the old ladies.
And ev'ryone goes, 'cause everyone knows
Brother Love's show.”

“Love all men, even your enemies; love them, not because they are your brothers, but that they may become your brothers. Thus you will ever burn with fraternal love, both for him who is already your brother and for your enemy, that he may by loving become your brother. … Even he that does not as yet believe in Christ … love him, and love him with fraternal love. He is not yet thy brother, but love him precisely that he may be thy brother.”

“Love is always love, come whence it may. A heart that beats at your approach, an eye that weeps when you go away are things so rare, so sweet, so precious that they must never be despised.”

“I love the great despisers because they are the great adorers…”
