More quotes by Emanuel Swedenborg
God loves every one of us but cannot directly benefit us he can benefit us only indirectly through each other. For this reason he inspires us with his love
Emanuel Swedenborg
In the world it is little comprehended what love is and yet it is man's very life. That this is little comprehended is evident from the common saying What is love? What it is, is not known for the reason that love is not manifest to the understanding, and the understanding is the receptacle of the light of heaven.
Emanuel Swedenborg
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Anyone can see that intending and not acting when we can is not really intending, and loving and not doing good when we can is not really loving.
Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
All religion relates to life, and the life of religion is to do good
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far any one shuns evils, so far as he does good.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Man, before he is being regenerated, does not even know that any internal man exists, much less is he acquainted with its nature and quality.
Emanuel Swedenborg
The more one is absorbed in so-called philosophy, the greater one's delusion and blindness.
Emanuel Swedenborg
So far as the Angels are recipients of that spiritual heat and light they are loves and wisdoms, not loves and wisdoms for themselves, but from the Lord.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Charity alone, or love and compassion, is what joins [the Lord and a person] together.
Emanuel Swedenborg
What is true is true, and what is false is false.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Every single moment of a person's life, both of the understanding and of the will, is a new beginning.
