To will and not to do when there is opportunity is in reality not to will; and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it
Emanuel SwedenborgThe life of any one can by no means be changed after death; an evil life can in no wise be converted into a good life, or an infernal into an angelic life: because every spirit, from head to foot, is of the character of his love, and therefore, of his life; and to convert this life into its opposite, would be to destroy the spirit utterly.
Emanuel SwedenborgAnyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.
Emanuel SwedenborgCharity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
