Greater love hath none than this:
Than to caress the battered heart of one whose hopes have collapsed.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to calm the fears of a child.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to offer all you can to what you adore, and withhold your consent from every imperial demand.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to honor promises made and vows professed.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to hold onto truth when deceit is more profitable.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to forestall a vengeful response to harm’s threat.
Greater love hath none than this:
Than to risk everything for the sake of the Revered.
