Emanuel Swedenborg

"A life of kindness is the primary meaning of divine worship."

"Man knows that love is, but not what it is."

"All religion relates to life, and the life of religion is to do good."

"Homo qui scit omnia bona et omnia vera, quotcunque sciri possunt, et non fugit mala, nihil scit"

"Since the Bible is a divine revelation, every single part of it is divine. Anything that comes from the divine could be no other way. Everything that comes from the divine goes down through the heavens all the way to people on earth. In heaven it is adapted to the wisdom of the angels there, and on earth it is adapted to the understanding of the people there. So the Bible has an inner, spiritual meaning for angels and an outer, material-level meaning for people on earth. That is why our connection to heaven happens through the Bible."

"All in heaven take joy in sharing their delights and blessings with others."
