Sometimes you hear a voice through the door calling you... This turning toward what you deeply love saves you.

Rumi

God seems to be about turning our loves around and using them toward the great love that is their true object.

Richard Rohr

Sweat saves blood, blood saves lives, but brains saves both.

Erwin Rommel

Everything is possible for the believer. I have watched impure souls mad for physical love but turning what they know of such love into a reason for penance and transferring that same capacity for love to the Lord. I have watched them master fear so as to drive themselves unsparingly toward the love of God. That is why, when talking of that chaste harlot, the Lord does not say, 'because she feared,' but rather, 'because she loved much' she was able to drive out love with love (Lk. 7:47).

John Climacus

As a poet and writer, I deeply love and I deeply hate words. I love the infinite evidence and change and requirements and possibilities of language.

June Jordan

Love goes toward love as schoolboys from their books, But love from love, toward school with heavy looks.

William Shakespeare

For as long as I can remember, my father saved. He saves money, he saves disfigured sticks that resemble disfigured celebrities, and most of all, he saves food. Cherry tomatoes, sausage biscuits, the olives plucked from other people's martinis --he hides these things in strange places until they are rotten. And then he eats them.

David Sedaris

I see how loving my parents are toward each other, toward my family and toward me. And that's just a glimpse of Jesus' love for us.

Andy Dalton

...the cross saves completely, or not at all. Our faith does not divide the work of salvation between itself and the cross. It is the acknowledgment that the cross alone saves, and that it saves alone. Faith adds nothing to the cross, nor to its healing virtue.

Horatius Bonar

Going nowhere isn’t about turning your back on the world; it’s about stepping away now and then so that you can see the world more clearly and love it more deeply.

Pico Iyer

You cease to move into yourself, away from others. You give up your antagonism. You begin to move toward others in love. God moved toward you in gracious, outgoing love, and you move toward others in that same outgoing love.

E. Stanley Jones

It is not repentance per se that saves man. It is the blood of Jesus Christ that saves us.

Dieter F. Uchtdorf

we are continually overflowing toward those who preceded us, toward our origin, and toward those who seemingly come after us. ... It is our task to imprint this temporary, perishable earth into ourselves so deeply, so painfully and passionately, that its essence can rise again “invisibly,” inside us. We are the bees of the invisible. We wildly collect the honey of the visible, to store it in the great golden hive of the invisible.
