More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
The Divine of the Lord in heaven is love, for the reason that love is receptive of all things of heaven, such as peace, intelligence, wisdom and happiness
Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity is like warmth in springtime or summer that causes grass, plants, and trees to grow. Without charity, or spiritual warmth, nothing grows.

To will and not to do when there is opportunity is in reality not to will and to love what is good and not to do it, when it is possible, is in reality not to love it
Emanuel Swedenborg
