Charity itself consists in acting justly and faithfully in whatever office, business and employment a person is engaged in.
Emanuel Swedenborg

Heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.
Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Self-love and the love of the world constitute hell.
Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Peace has in it trust in the Lord, that He governs all things, provides all things, and leads to a good end.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
Marriages on earth--because they are the seminaries of the human race and of the angels of heaven also because, likewise, they proceed from a spiritual origin, that is, from the marriage of good and truth and since, in addition, the Lord's divine proceeding principally flows into conjugal love--are most holy in the estimation of the angels.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
A heavenly society is a harmony of many.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Image
It is no proof of a man's understanding to be able to affirm whatever he pleases but to be able to discern that what is true is true, and that what is false is false, this is the mark and character of intelligence.
