Quote by Andrew Matthews

A healthy self-love means we have no compulsion to justify to ourselves or others why we take vacations, why we sleep late, why we buy new shoes, why we spoil ourselves from time to time. We feel comfortable doing things which add quality and beauty to life.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of having a healthy level of self-love. When we truly love and care for ourselves, we no longer feel the need to justify our actions or decisions to others or even to ourselves. Taking time off, indulging in little pleasures, and prioritizing self-care become natural and guilt-free choices. When we have a genuine sense of self-worth, we feel comfortable engaging in activities that enhance the quality and beauty of our lives, without the need for external validation. This quote encourages embracing self-love as a way to live authentically and unapologetically.

A man vows, and yet will not east away the means of breaking

A man vows, and yet will not east away the means of breaking his vow. Is it that he distinctly means to break it? Not at all; but the desires which tend to break it are at work in him dimly, and make their way into his imagination, and relax his muscles in the very moments when he is telling himself over again the reasons for his vow.

For where there is true love, a man is neither out of measur

For where there is true love, a man is neither out of measure lifted up by prosperity, nor cast down by mishap; whether you give or take away from him, so long as he keeps his beloved, he has a spring of inward peace. Thus, even though thy outward man grieve, or weep downright, that may well be borne, if only thy inner man remain at peace, perfectly content with the will of God.

Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender.
