You who seek an end of love, love yields to business: be busy, and you will be safe.
~ Ovid (43 BC-c. 18 AD) Roman poet

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and
most powerful being in the world...

~ Emmet Fox
