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.

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.

All union is effected by love, and love is not love without trust.

Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.
