Why is Love greater than faith? Because the end is greater than the means. And why is it greater than charity? Because the whole is greater than the part. Author: Henry Drummond |
I have come across black men and women who remembered the only white man they ever saw before - David Livingstone; and as you cross his footsteps in that dark continent, men's faces light up as they speak of the kind Doctor who passed there years ago. They could not understand him; but they felt the Love that beat in his heart. Author: Henry Drummond |
Where Love is, God is. Author: Henry Drummond |
God, the Eternal God, is Love. Covet therefore that everlasting gift, that one thing which it is certain is going to stand, that one coinage which will be current in the universe when all other coinages of all the nations of the world shall be useless and unhonored. Author: Henry Drummond |
We want to live forever for the same reason that we want to live tomorrow. Why do we want to live tomorrow? It is because there is some one who loves you, and whom you want to see tomorrow, and be with, and love back. Author: Henry Drummond |
It is when a man has no one to love him that he commits suicide. So long as he has friends, those who love him and whom he loves, he will live, because to live is to love. Be it but the love of a dog, it will keep him in life; but let that go and he has no contact with life, no reason to live. He dies by his own hand. Author: Henry Drummond |

On the last analysis, then, love is life. Love never faileth and life never faileth so long as there is love. Author: Henry Drummond |
To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever. Author: Henry Drummond |
You will find as you look back upon your life that the moments when you have truly lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love. Author: Henry Drummond |
Humility and love are precisely the graces which the men of the world can understand, if they do not comprehend doctrines. They are the graces about which there is no mystery, and they are within reach of all classes. The poorest Christian can every day find occasion for practicing love and humility. Author: J.C. Ryle |
Love is friendship set on fire. Author: Jeremy Taylor |
Love is the greatest thing that God can give us, for himself is love; and it is the greatest thing we can give to God, for it will also give ourselves, and carry with it all that is ours. The apostle calls it the bond of perfection; it is the old, the new, and the great commandment, and all the commandments, for it is the fulfilling of the law. It does the work of all the other graces without any instrument but its own immediate virtue. Author: Jeremy Taylor |
