Quote by St. Francis De Sales

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run

Summary

This quote highlights the importance of action and experience in the process of learning and growth. It emphasizes that one acquires skills or qualities not merely by seeking knowledge or theoretical understanding, but by actively engaging in the corresponding activities. In the context of love, this means that love cannot be fully comprehended or developed solely through intellectual understanding or observation. Instead, one learns to love by actively participating in love, by experiencing it firsthand, and by engaging in acts of love towards others. Love, like any skill or attribute, is honed and cultivated through direct engagement and practice.
