Quote by Harold Lokes

An act of love that fails is just as much a part of the divine life as an act of love that succeeds, for love is measured by fullness, not by reception.

Summary

This quote suggests that the value of love lies in the act itself, rather than the impact or outcome. Whether an act of love is successful or not does not diminish its significance; it is still considered part of the divine expression of love. Love should be measured by the completeness and sincerity with which it is given, rather than the way it is received or reciprocated. This reminds us that even when our acts of love may not have the desired effect, they still contribute to the greater divine essence of love.
