Love is the manifestation of the divine nature which exists above time. Love is not only a way of life, it is an action directed toward the goodness of others.
There is no love in the future. Love can exist only in the present moment. A man who does not manifest love in the present does not love at all.
Be kind even if the world blames you. It is better than the converse when a person is praised by others but continues to be bad.
The New Testament reflects a very simple faith: faith in God and respect for Him. It is the same in following the law; there is only one law: love your neighbor.
—BENEDICTUS SPINOZA
Certainly, it is painful to recall all the things which you could have done in the past but did not: some charity, for example; a time you denied to those who expected help from you; or when you blocked the joyful understanding of completing an action you should have finished.
