Quote by Francis Quarles

Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not charity for thy neighbor.

Flatter not thyself in thy faith in God if thou hast not cha

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that having faith in God alone is not enough unless it's accompanied by showing love and compassion towards others. It suggests that one's faith should be reflected in their actions and treatment of their fellow human beings. Merely believing in God or religious principles is not sufficient; it is essential to demonstrate kindness, empathy, and generosity towards others to truly embody the essence of spirituality. Without genuine charity for one's neighbor, any professed faith may be considered hollow and insincere.
