A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

I love my children beyond all reason. They’re my joy, even when they’re wild with kid energy.
Christopher Meloni
We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do.
