Love comes into being through useful service to others.

That every man after the life in the world lives to eternity, is evident from this, that man is then spiritual, and no longer natural, and that the spiritual man, separated from the natural, remains such as he is to eternity, for man's state cannot be changed after death.

Our love is our life itself. What our love is like determines how we live and therefore everything about what we are as human beings.

A person's life from infancy to old age is nothing else than an advance from the world towards heaven, the last stage of which is death; the actual transition from one life to the next.

True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.

Man is so created that as to his internal he cannot die; for he is capable of believing in God, and thus of being conjoined to God by faith and love, and to be conjoined to God is to live to eternity.

No one's character is completely like another'sthis infinite variety is like a mirror in which we can see the infinity of God the Creator.
