Emanuel Swedenborg quotes about
love-is our-love determine
Our love is our life itself. What our love is like determines how we live and therefore everything about what we are as human beings.
love-is heaven might
Heaven is not located on high, but where the good of love is, and this resides within a person, wherever he or she might be.
good-night spiritual men
Men live a moral life, either from regard to the Diving Being, or from regard to the opinion of the people in the world; and when a moral life is practised out of regard to the Divine Being, it is a spiritual life. Both appear alike in their outward form; but in their inward, they are completely different. The one saves a man, but the other does not; for he that leads a moral life out of regard to the Divine Being is led by him, but he who does so from regard to the opinion of people in the world is led by himself.

Man knows that there is love, but he does not know what love is.
