Not by the wine drunk but by the wine poured forth;
For love's strength standeth in love's sacrifice,
And whoso suffers most hath most to give."
Ugo Bassi
"The enjoyment of God is the only happiness which our souls can be satisfied...fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children or the company of earthly friends are but shadows but the enjoyment of God is the substance. These are but scattered beams but God is the sun. These are but streams but God is the fountain. These are but drops but God is the ocean."
Jonathan Edwards
