More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship.
Emanuel Swedenborg
And as the divine that goes forth from the Lord is the good of love and the truth of faith, the angels are angels and are heaven in the measure in which they receive good and truth from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
Emanuel Swedenborg
We are all spirits inwardly. This is what's alive in the body, not the body on its own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
In the spiritual body moreover, man appears such as he is with respect to love and faith, for everyone in the spiritual world is the effigy of his own love, not only as to the face and the body, but also as to the speech and the actions.
Emanuel Swedenborg
