Love for the world Quotes

“To liberate yourself from your own self-judgment is to liberate others from it as well. To love yourself is an act of love for the world.”

“If God loves the world, might that not be proved in my own love for it? I prayed to know in my heart His love for the world, and this was my most prideful, foolish, and dangerous prayer. It was my step into the abyss. As soon as I prayed it, I knew that I would die. I knew the old wrong and the death that lay in the world. Just as a good man would not coerce the love of his wife, God does not coerce the love of His human creatures, not for Himself or for the world or for one another. To allow that love to exist fully and freely, He must allow it not to exist at all. His love is suffering. It is our freedom and His sorrow. To love the world as much even as I could love it would be suffering also, for I would fail. And yet all the good I know is in this, that a man might so love this world that it would break his heart.”

“But there is something about human beings that too often makes our love for the world look very much like hatred for it.”

“He is the best fighter who fights with love for the world peace.”

“You can change the world at this moment for better by changing your thoughts and by spreading your love for the world and humanity as a whole.”
