Love in Deeds

"let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth" 1 John 3:18

"I know no great men," says Voltaire, "except those who have rendered great services to the human race." Men are measured by what they do; not by what they seem or possess.

"We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not breaths:
In feelings, not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best;
And he whose heart beats quickest lives the longest."

In the sublimest flights of the soul, rectitude is never surmounted, love is never outgrown. —Emerson.
