“I love these little people; and it is not a slight thing when they, who are so fresh from God, love us.”

“It is no small thing, when they, who are so fresh from God, love us. ”

“From love arises hatred of those things which are contrary to what we love, or which oppose and thwart us in those things that we delight in.”
