Quote by Albert Camus

People don't love each other at our age they please each other, that's all. Later on when you're old and impotent, you can love somebody. At our age, you just think you do. That's all it is.

People don't love each other at our age they please each ot

Summary

This quote suggests a cynical perspective on love and relationships in youth. It implies that at a young age, people are more motivated by self-interest and the desire to please one another, rather than truly loving each other. The quote also suggests that true love can only be experienced later in life when physical capabilities diminish, implying that love becomes more genuine once superficial desires no longer play a significant role. Overall, it presents a somewhat pessimistic view on youthful relationships, arguing that they are primarily driven by superficiality and only develop into true love as individuals age.

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.

Remember!--It is Christianity to do good always--even to those who do evil to us. It is Christianity to love our neighbours as ourself, and to do to all men as we would have them do to us. It is Christianity to be gentle, merciful and forgiving, and to keep those qualities quiet in our own hearts, and never make a boast of them or of our prayers or of our love of God, but always to show that we love Him by humbly trying to do right in everything. If we do this, and remember the life and lessons of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and try to act up to them, we may confidently hope that God will forgive us our sins and mistakes, and enable us to live and die in peace.

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
