Quote by Thomas Traherne

To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable: to love all is glorious.

To love one person with a private love is poor and miserable

Summary

This quote suggests that loving only one person in a private and exclusive manner is limited and unfulfilling. It emphasizes the notion that true magnificence lies in loving and embracing all individuals. By extending our love to everyone, we embrace a broader sense of compassion, connection, and unity. Instead of confining love to a singular bond, this perspective encourages a more expansive, inclusive, and enriching love for the whole of humanity.
