Quote by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, In The Long

In the long run all love is paid by love, Though undervalued by the hosts of earth; The great eternal Government above Keeps strict account and will redeem its worth. Give thy love freely; do not count the cost; So beautiful a thing was never lostIn the long run.

In the long run all love is paid by love, Though undervalued

Summary

This quote suggests that the expression of love may often go unrecognized or unappreciated by people on Earth, but in the grand scheme of things, a higher divine authority keeps a careful record and will ultimately give it the value it deserves. It advises us to give love unconditionally without worrying about the outcome or expecting something in return, as love is never wasted or forgotten in the end.
