The true meaning of love of one's neighbor is not that it is a command from God, which we are to fulfill, but that through it and in it we meet God. (Martin Buber)

Whoever hates anyone hates Him who spoke and the world came into existence. (Hebrew proverb)

Love and pity and wish well to every soul in the world; dwell in love, and then you dwell in God; hate nothing but the evil that stirs in your own heart. (William Law)

Charity is therefore an internal affection from which a person wills to do good, and this without any reward. The delight of his life consists in doing it. With those who do good from an internal affection there is charity in everything that they think and say, and that they will and do. (Heavenly Doctrine 104)
