He truly that loves most shall be set highest in heaven. For this love is in the heart, and the more it loves God the more joy it feels in itself.
Nothing truly is better than love, nothing sweeter than holy charity.
No man has ever lost by good love who keeps in view the end of love. Soothly he that knows not to burn in love knows not to be glad. Therefore never is a man more blessed than he that is borne without himself by the might of love, and by the greatness of God's love receives within himself a songful sweetness of everlasting praising. He that honours not the community of nature in his neighbour, defiles the law of man's fellowship. In this many men err from the love of God, nor know they how to come to His love because they study not to love their brother as they are bound.
