Love Your Enemies
Ye have heard that it hath been said,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
But I say unto you, Love your enemies,
bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you,
and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you.
- Jesus of Nazareth (Matthew 5:43-44)

Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me,
and I forgive him? till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee,
Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.

(Jesus on Anger and Revenge)
You have heard that it was said,

If someone strikes you on the right cheek,
turn to him the other also.
- Matthew 5:38-39

"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied:
"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
'Love your neighbor as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."
- Matthew 22:36-40

We're more popular than Jesus now;

about helping the poor and the sick and the hungry

Jesus was all right,
but his disciples were thick and ordinary.
It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.

I believe in God, but not as one thing,
not as an old man in the sky.
I believe that what people call God
is something in all of us.
I believe that what Jesus and Mohammed and Buddha
and all the rest said was right.
It's just that the translations have gone wrong.
- John Lennon

Many people mistake our work for our vocation.
Our vocation is the love of Jesus.

A new command I give you: Love one another.
As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
- Jesus of Nazareth (John 13:34)

Everywhere I look, I see the evidence of a creator.
But I don't see it as religion,
which has cut Irish people in two.
I don't see Jesus Christ as being
in any part of a religion.
Religion to me is almost like when God leaves -
and people devise a set of rules to fill the space.
- Bono

Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink.
I needn't argue with that; I'm right and I will be proved right.
We're more popular than Jesus now;
I don't know which will go first - rock and roll or Christianity.
- John Lennon

Jesus said: "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho,
when he fell into the hands of robbers.
They stripped him of his clothes, beat him
and went away, leaving him half dead.
A priest happened to be going down the same road,
and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.
So too, a Levite [religious leader],
when he came to the place and saw him,
passed by on the other side.
But a Samaritan [Samaritans and Jews generally disliked
and were suspicious of each other] came where the man was;
and when he saw him, he took pity on him.
He went to him and bandaged his wounds ... and ...
took him to an inn and took care of him. ...
Jesus [said] "Go and do likewise."
- Luke 10:25-37 (The Parable of the Good Samaritan)

If we would build on a sure foundation in friendship,
we must love our friend for their sakes
rather than for our own.

Depth of friendship does not depend on length of acquaintance.
- Rabindranath Tagore

One is taught by experience to put a premium
on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.

It all depends on how we look at things,
and not how they are in themselves.
- Carl Jung

Impart as much as you can of your spiritual being
to those who are on the road with you,
and accept as something precious
what comes back to you from them.
- Albert Schweitzer

I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar,
but I cherish the friend who for me
does not consult his calendar.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people stay for awhile,
and move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding,
leave footprints on our hearts,
and we are never, ever the same.
- Flavia Weedn

If we are to teach real peace in this world,
and if we are to carry on a real war against war,
we shall have to begin with the children.

My coat and I live comfortably together.
It has assumed all my wrinkles, does not hurt me anywhere,

Old coats and old friends are the same thing.
- Victor Hugo

Regret is an appalling waste of energy,
you can't build on it - it's only good for wallowing in.

Mostly, it is human to dislike surprises -

Be open to new ways;
sometimes newness just knocks on our door;
welcome it.

Just because they're not on your road

Whether in a project, a job, a relationship,
