The object of opening the mind, as of opening the month, is to shut it again on something solid. The wise are marked by an economy of words. It beats money and power and influence. If you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it. But the greatest satisfaction in loving is knowing that the love we give is adding joy and blessing to the one whom we love.
True love is unselfish.
It does not love in order to be loved. The best is yet to be, The last of life, for which the first was made. This is the Christian hope. It is more than merely looking on to life beyond the grave. Nothing, then, is purposeless or futile in our present experience.
