Quote by Ysabella Brave

He came to love, He came to warn Why do you weep on the day He's born? He draws the path I walk upon I died to live just for the Son Find love, find peace If you let Him increase


He came to love, He came to warn Why do you weep on the day

Summary

This quote suggests that the person being referred to (presumably Jesus) came into existence out of love, and their purpose was not only to show affection but also to warn humanity about something. The quote questions why people would mourn or be sorrowful on the day of this person's birth, perhaps indicating that Jesus' birth should be seen as a moment of celebration. It emphasizes that the individual being talked about guides and determines the path that the speaker walks on. Furthermore, the quote implies that the speaker had to undergo some sort of transformation or sacrifice in order to live for the sake of this person, referred to as the "Son." It concludes by suggesting that by embracing this person, one can discover love and peace, but only if they allow him to have a greater influence in their lives.

Here one comes upon an all-important English trait: the respect for constituitionalism and legality, the belief in 'the law' as something above the state and above the individual, something which is cruel and stupid, of course, but at any rate incorruptible.It is not that anyone imagines the law to be just. Everyone knows that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor. But no one accepts the implications of this, everyone takes for granted that the law, such as it is, will be respected, and feels a sense of outrage when it is not. Remarks like 'They can't run me in; I haven't done anything wrong', or 'They can't do that; it's against the law', are part of the atmosphere of England. The professed enemies of society have this feeling as strongly as anyone else. One sees it in prison-books like Wilfred Macartney's Walls Have Mouths or Jim Phelan's Jail Journey, in the solemn idiocies that take places at the trials of conscientious objectors, in letters to the papers from eminent Marxist professors, pointing out that this or that is a 'miscarriage of British justice'. Everyone believes in his heart that the law can be, ought to be, and, on the whole, will be impartially administered. The totalitarian idea that there is no such thing as law, there is only power, has never taken root. Even the intelligentsia have only accepted it in theory.An illusion can become a half-truth, a mask can alter the expression of a face. The familiar arguments to the effect that democracy is 'just the same as' or 'just as bad as' totalitarianism never take account of this fact. All such arguments boil down to saying that half a loaf is the same as no bread. In England such concepts as justice, liberty and objective truth are still believed in. They may be illusions, but they are powerful illusions. The belief in them influences conduct,national life is different because of them. In proof of which, look about you. Where are the rubber truncheons, where is the caster oil? The sword is still in the scabbard, and while it stays c
