To see the best

Love, it is said, is blind, but love is not blind. It is an extra eye, which shows us what is most worthy of regard. To see the best is to see most clearly, and it is the lover's privilege.

--J. M. Barrie

The miracle

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

God will not conquer evil by crushing it under-foot-any god of man's idea could do that-but by conquest of heart over heart, of life over life, of life over death, of love over all.

--George MacDonald
