The great lever by which to raise and save the world is the unbounded love and mercy of God.
Henry Ward BeecherLove is not a possession but a growth. The heart is a lamp with just oil enough to burn for an hour, and if there be no oil to put in again its light will go out. God's grace is the oil that fills the lamp of love.
Henry Ward BeecherGod wishes to exhaust all means of kindness before His hand takes hold on justice.
