“Love is love's reward. ”

“Comfortless was my religion, anxiety of the anxieties, for I believed God was not love, but courage. Love came only as a reward.”

“When you love someone, it doesn't really matter if they love you back or not. Having love in your heart for someone is its own reward. or punishment, depending on the circumstances.”

“Love seeks one thing only: the good of the one loved. It leaves all the other secondary effects to take care of themselves. Love, therefore, is its own reward.”

“For it is a true rule, that love is ever rewarded either with the reciproque, or with an inward and secret contempt.”

“It is man's duty to love and to fear God, even without hope of reward or fear of punishment.”

“I love the Grammy nominations this year. Anybody who really loves what they do got rewarded for it. It's not a death match between Ray Charles and Jessica Simpson.”

“Love's very pain is sweet,
But its reward is in the world divine
Which, if not here, it builds beyond the grave.”

“I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth — and truth rewarded me.”

“In this age, lies were the universal lubricant of the culture. A love of Truth and commitment to it were seldom rewarded and were often punished.”
