"Jesus never appeals to a higher authority, one coming from outside, to reinforce his own authority and doctrine. The things he says possess an internal evidence."
- Leonardo Boff in "Jesus Christ Liberator" page 83

Wesley on Religion
"One of the principal rules of religion is, to lose no occasion of serving God. And, since he is invisible to our eyes, we are to serve him in our neighbour; which he receives as if done to himself in person, standing visibly before us."

All We Need is Love...
"...the beloved John in his old age (according to Jerome in hi commentary on Galatians 3.6) was in the habit of saying little else to his disciples other than 'Little children, love one another". Eventually they became so fed up with always hearing the same thing that they asked him why he constantly repeated it. He replied, "Because it is the Lord's command and if it comes to pass, that suffices." Certainly, for one who believes and through faith is blessed, his whole life and fulfilment of God's commands consists in love" (Holy Desires 3.3)"
