Scripture
In that I command thee this day to love the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the Lord thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.—Deuteronomy 30:16
Quote
True love is the exact opposite of the present philosophy of selfishness which seems to permeate the world. Selfish interests color people’s dealings with each other and even color person-to-person contact within the family. True love is based on personal unselfishness, but our modern world does not seem to understand this. Modern man has lost his capacity to love. —Theodore M. Burton
