Quote by D.T. Niles

Hurry means that we gather impressions but have no experiences, that we collect acquaintances but make no friends, that we attend meetings but experience no encounter. We must recover eternity if we are to find time, and eternity is what Jesus came to restore. For without it, there can be no charity.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the negative effects of rushing through life. "Hurry" in this context refers to a fast-paced lifestyle focused on accumulation rather than meaningful connections or experiences. It suggests that genuine experiences, deep friendships, and meaningful encounters are sacrificed when we prioritize speed. The quote further argues that in order to truly find time, we must prioritize eternity – a sense of the timeless and meaningful – something that Jesus came to restore according to the religious perspective. Without this perspective, the quote suggests that genuine acts of love and compassion (charity) become difficult to achieve.

In all human love it must be realized that every man promise

In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love. One of the greatest trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear.
