Quote of the Day (Thomas a Kempis, on Love)


“Love is swift, pure, meek, joyous and glad, strong, patient, faithful, wise, forbearing, manly, and never seeking himself or his own will; for whensoever a man seeketh himself, he falleth from love.” –Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, translated by Richard Whitford

I love "The Imitation of Christ" and it's sayings, one curious thing that I realize this was written for those in monastic life, not secular , however, I find it useful and still relevant.
