As we learn to share and give and care, love increases. A person who knows how to love does not seem to feel lonely or alone. In this sense, the power of love can become a true weapon against harm.
John Templeton
Image
Let no day go by without counting your blessing.
John Templeton
Image
The idea that an individual can find God is terribly self-centered. It is like a wave thinking it can find the sea.
John Templeton
