"Love is a mighty power, a great and complete good. Love alone lightens every burden, and makes the rough places smooth. Nothing is sweeter than love, nothing stronger, nothing higher, nothing wider, nothing more pleasant, nothing fuller or better in heaven or earth; for love is born of God, and can rest only in God, above all created things.
Love flies, runs, and leaps for joy; it is free and unrestrained. Love gives all for all, resting in One who is highest above all things, from whom every good flows and proceeds. Loved does not regard the gifts, but turns to the Giver of all good gifts."
- The Imitation of Christ, Thomas à Kempis (1380 - 1471)
