Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
True charity is the desire to be useful to others with no thought of recompense.

Emanuel Swedenborg
He who is in evil, is also in the punishment of evil.
Emanuel Swedenborg

Emanuel Swedenborg
Love consists in desiring to give what is our own to another and feeling his delight as our own.
Emanuel Swedenborg
Every man is received in heaven who receives heaven in himself while in the world, and he is excluded who does not.
Emanuel Swedenborg
