The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.—G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936)
Lord, grant that I might not so much seek to be loved as to love.—Francis of Assisi (1182-1226)
For our religion commands us to love even our enemies, and to pray for those who persecute us, aiming at a perfection all its own, and seeking in its disciples something of a higher type than the commonplace goodness of the world. For all love those who love them; it is peculiar to Christians alone to love those that hate them.—Tertullian (d. 220-240)
I command you to love each other in the same way that I love you.—Jesus Christ (John 15:12)
