Happy are those who work for peace: God will call them his children.
Love is a great thing, greatest of all goods, because it alone renders light every burden and bears equally all that is unequal.
Love watches, and sleeping, slumbers not. When fatigued it does not become tired; when pressed it does not work through constraint; when threatened it is not disturbed; but like a lively flame and a burning torch, it mounts upwards, and securely overcomes all opposition.
He who is in perfect peace suspects no man. But he who is discontented and disturbed is agitated by various suspicions; he neither has rest himself, nor does he permit others to rest.
The lover flies, runs and rejoices; he is free and nothing can restrain him. He gives all for all and has all in all.
