Quote by Saint Augustine of Hippo

Summary

This quote by Saint Augustine beautifully captures the essence of love and its outward manifestations. It emphasizes that love is not merely a feeling or an emotion, but a compassionate action. Love is seen through kind and helpful hands that reach out to support and assist others. It is felt through swift feet that rush to aid those who are impoverished and in need.

In summary, love is visualized through acts of selflessness and empathy towards humanity.

He broke fresh ground-because, and only because, he had the courage to go ahead without asking whether others were following or even understood. He had no need for the divided responsibility in which others seek to be safe from ridicule, because he had been granted a faith which required no confirmation-a contact with reality, light and intense like the touch of a loved hand: a union in self-surrender without self- destruction, where his heart was lucid and his mind was loving.
