Augustine of Hippo
“Once for all, then, a short precept is given thee: Love, and do what thou wilt: whether thou hold thy peace, through love hold thy peace; whether thou cry out, through love cry out; whether thou correct, through love correct; whether thou spare, through love do thou spare: let the root of love be within, of this root can nothing spring but what is good.”
Augustine of Hippo, Homilies on the First Epistle of John

“It is both a blessing
And a curse
To feel everything
So very deeply.”
David Jones

Blaise Pascal
“The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of... We know the truth not only by the reason, but by the heart.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées

Seneca
“And so there is no reason for you to think that any man has lived long because he has grey hairs or wrinkles, he has not lived long – he has existed long. For what if you should think that man had had a long voyage who had been caught by a fierce storm as soon as he left harbour, and, swept hither and thither by a succession of winds that raged from different quarters, had been driven in a circle around the same course? Not much voyaging did he have, but much tossing about.”
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life: Life Is Long if You Know How to Use It
